It'd be great to be able to plot only the primes that satisfy some simple (at first anyways) math operations. "Show me the primes that when (math operation) by (a set of values) equals (set of results). EG when (mult,div,squared) by (n1,n2...) equals (0,e^2, ...). Exploring for surprise patterns!

#33Could be fun to turn these into initial conditions for Game of Life

#34There's a way to warp this in 3D and Contact two sides together to show the framework blueprint of a Portal device.
The cake is a lie.

#35Someone's going to find the correct column count to reveal the hidden message to build an intergalactic space ship with FTL travel.

#36A feature Id like to see is an option to invert the grid, i.e. show the composites instead of the primes

#37The trick is to do 88 columns, punch them out on a roll, and run it through a player piano.

#38Reminds me of what I do when trying to look for structure in binary data. Print it to the screen in either bits or bites with word wrap enabled and drag the window around.

#39When choosing rows = 4000 and columns = 546, an interesting pattern emerges. For all integers n ≥ 0, the ranges [243 + (n * 546)] to [249 + (n * 546)] inclusive appear to contain no prime numbers. Same with the ranges [297 + (n * 546)] to [303 + (n * 546)]. For both sets of ranges, the minimum gap between the closest neighbouring primes appears to be at least 10 (in decimal). Does anyone know of a number-theoretic ex…
Nothing too surprising more or less same thing as all other vertical columns. 546=2*3*7*13 and all numbers in the range [242, 250] can be divided by one of those 4 primes same for [296, 304] . If x is divisor of a and b, then it will also divide a+n*b meaning you get an empty column. 2 and 3 already makes more than half the columns non primes, fill in the gaps with few more primes and you get the wide empty columns.…
Thank you.

#40So cool! I'd like to be able to start at any number
Thanks! Do you mean you’d like to be able to input any number you like? The numbered values are editable inputs. You can click into them and type in the amount you’d like. If you couldn’t tell they were editable inputs, that’s valuable feedback! I’ll redesign them to make it more obvious that you can do so, and don’t have to just click the +/- buttons.
No, I mean the starting prime number.
