So 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.

I think they mean that the number that the image starts on is by default 0, I think they want to be able to change the starting number so top left could start at something else and increment from there. Adding on to that it would also be interesting to change what the number increments by.

I spammed the columns from 1 to 402 (with 400 rows), and i saw some cool patterns. I can see a few nodes of clockwise rotation that converges into a single node from >200 columns that starts makes its way down the screen. Trippy.

I made a screen recording of it: https://n0ssc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/prime-doublespe...

Very! I saw the distant galaxies spin.

I did the same thing - but you can just put your cursor in the number box and hold up / down arrow key.
