Advent of shapes
Per the season, it is fitting to remark the passing of time with a calendar. But it is cumbersome to show more than a handful of days at a time, so I decided to give a different twist on a familiar feat. This begs two questions:
just how many times can you rotate a graphic on the y axis and still have the effect mildly entertaining?
can you really come up with twenty plus shapes to keep the theme alive?
The first question is almost too easy to answer — a lot. And assuming the code works as intended, today’s entry should be more than proof.
The second question is challenging. I’m not that imaginative, but there are bound to be more examples. Just don’t expect them on a daily basis, though. The weekend is the perfect time to prepare a fresh batch, and I might need one more day for the best presentation.
"Zdog Monday", a series of gorgeous pseudo-3D graphics built with Zdog in one day of the week.
There is a collection on CodePen, but if you want some context, and a few twists, I took care to write about each single piece.
