Radial symmetry mandala

Symmetry for free: put copies of a satellite on a ring and Orbit spaces them evenly. Change the number of copies and the whole pattern redraws with six, eight or twelve folds.

How it's built

  • Copies of a satellite on one ring are spread evenly, so the symmetry needs no angles: the buttons only change how many copies the script writes.
  • Each copy holds its own .gravity-spot, which reaches the edge of the satellite. Its circles are at-center satellites sized in the copy's own lanes: 24 is as wide as the copy. See gravity spot.
  • The triangles are three .side elements on orbit-12 of the nested system. spin-lock turns each copy with its place on the ring, so all of them point outward.
  • --o-from on the triangle ring turns it half a step, so the corners show between the stacks. The stacks have a background and sit above it, hiding the rest.
