One out of six
Beside offering entertaining visualization, Zdog lets you explore options exceeding the scope of a 2D canvas. This means a rotation over the y axis, as preciously seen in a previous installment, is a relatively straightforward operation.
illustration.rotate.y = TAU / 8; Of course you are not limited to one axis. There are three dimensions, three types of rotations. Assuming you have enough patience to line up different shapes, you can continue trying your luck with the library, and promptly answer an outstanding question without amusing, pixelated tricks.
"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.
