ChatGPT-4:

A spirograph is a geometric drawing toy that produces intricate, swirling patterns called hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. Consisting of multiple plastic gears, it enables users to create beautiful, symmetric designs by simply rolling one gear inside or outside another while holding a pen through a hole. Popular for artistic and educational purposes, spirographs provide endless possibilities for creativity.

Adore snoring dogs but put a snoring human next to me and the knives come out! Why is this so?

🐢🎨 Are you ready to create beautiful and colorful patterns with Python Turtle? With this Spyrograph project, you can! Each time you run the program, a virtual spirograph is generated using random angles and distances, resulting in a unique and joyful pattern.

To get started, make sure you have Python installed on your computer by downloading it from the official website at https://www.python.org/downloads/. Then, check out the official documentation for the Turtle module at https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html to learn more about how to use it.

This project is a great way to explore programming concepts and have fun at the same time. So, why not give it a try and see what beautiful patterns you can create? And if you want to see the code for this project or contribute to it, check out the GitHub repository at [https://github.com/raimoncoding/Gina_the-turtle]. Happy coding! 🚀

so my Wild Gears arrived from Canada and the possibilities and math is mind boggling. Definitely a learning curve there for the doughnuts to make parallel lines and the gears within the gears. I chose birch over acrylic and love the scent of the wood.

Been learning a lot with the Spirographs and designs. The old math folder in my head had a lot of dust on it I noticed.😬
LCM is not just a factory made snack in a box, it is also the Least Common Multiple. Could've asked Alexa to work it out for the designs but it was much more fun to do it old school with pen and paper.

welcome to the working week

Successful garage sale trip - been looking for one for ages as they are a lot more pricey brand new.

The “football” shaped piece, hole number one.

I am really enjoying the set I got last month!

See also the second-order roulette (or gear-in-hoop-in-wheel #spirograph) made possible using #WildGears:

Especially Glagolj's survey and analysis https://glagolj.github.io/gg-blog/
and their simulation tool: https://glagolj.github.io/gg-blog/tools/roulette_plot.html

> #Spirograph is a fond #toy for many people. But the result is soon exhausted, unless one starts to combine lines from different setups.
> In the last decade #AaronBleackley managed to invigorate things with new geared toys called #WildGears.
> The #WildGears are produced with high precision and it is possible to use 3 elements in a gear-in-hoop-in-wheel combo that produces intriguing shapes on paper.

My daughter has a #spirograph and it's one of those toys that I probably get more fun out of than she does.

Tonight's entertainment was
- working out how many points a pattern has from the number of teeth on the ring and the wheel
- writing a little #python program to calculate this
