This was an earlier experiment with parametrics which is kind of neat. I found it while taking a trip through memory lane and decided to share. It's definitely not very practical for anything but it looks neat, I guess :P

Example (http://www.ffiles.com/flash/miscellaneous/parametric_roulettes_v2/)
Keys 1-4 controls speed of drawing, 0 pauses, left mouse button starts new roulette

Thanks Canadian, very interesting! It also brings me down memory lane (see below)

And thanks FlawlessDog, becuase after seeing this I was trying ever since to think of the spirograph toy set I had as a kid where you had the set of templates and made all sorts of cool designs.

Nice one Canadian! Impressive.
