Do yourself a favor, and watch Toby Schachman (the author) explaining his ITP thesis. This is just one expression of a larger vision for alternative programming which he describes very succinctly. These two videos include him and the slides: http://itp.nyu.edu/thesis/spring2012_archives/thesis-Heching... http://itp.nyu.edu/thesis/spring2012_archives/thesis-Heching... More angles and other great videos available at ht…

It would be awesome if this was integrated into gimp or made as a standalone program. With the ability to give the shapes colors etc.

I played for a little while with gimp and recursivedraw.com and came up with this: http://eruditenow.com/recursive/combo.jpeg http://eruditenow.com/recursive/spiders.jpeg http://eruditenow.com/recursive/bollaraweseome.jpeg

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Contrary to Chrome which pops the history stack instantly, Safari's "nice page sliding animation" is completely reversable if you don't release the gesture and "put things back in place". The animation is not a gimmick, it has a very real usability purpose.

actually, there's an animation on the side of the page in chrome that's reversible as well

To complicate things even further: only for 2 finger swipe, not three. Gestures in Lion are a sad affair.

Yeah it's so close to being a nice little "toy" to share around. Just needs a slightly more intuitive UI (deleting isn't immediately obvious) and a share button and the server will get hammered.

word. yeah there's some bugs tho. after making something recurse with some circles, adding squares really turned it on its head for me. i dug the glitches tho. fun to watch it render too..the dynamics are pretty nice. got some screenshots here http://look.person.sh/tagged/recursivedrawing

That's some cool art. Should hang those in individual square frames in a series
