The Bloom
Thirty-one shapes: cubes, crystals, knots, spirals and shapes from the fourth dimension. Each one is drawn as a single line, like a pen that never leaves the paper. Click anywhere.
One line, never lifting the pen
A cube is really twelve separate edges. Here, each shape is drawn as one unbroken line. When the pen gets stuck in a corner, it goes back over a line it already drew, just like your hand would when sketching a cube.
Spread out, never crowded
Before a shape lands, the program tries thirty spots and picks the one with the most room. Pure random placement makes clumps and gaps. Nothing is allowed to overlap.
From four dimensions down to two
Some shapes come from the fourth dimension. The program turns them, flattens them into 3D, then flattens them again onto your screen. Each step loses a little, which is why the inner cube seems to grow and shrink as it spins.
