Is.. is that an alien doing that early baby dancing gif?

I was half expecting it to turn into Bad Apple by the end. Very clever concept!

dancing alien :D

 No idea how and if I made it, but it's just such an interesting concept. I'd be very interested to understand better how the picture works and how you implemented it. :)

Thanks for asking! We were inspired by people using oscilloscopes to display images from waveforms. (See the youtube video linked in the 'special thanks' section.) The game has a list of coordinates, does a bunch of math on them, and displays them as the vertices of a line. All the buttons and dials manipulate the values used, like those for transformations on the vertices, and which vertices are rendered when.

Thank you😊

Made a funny picture, dont know how, 10/10
