  • Petals Around The Rose

    Because this is one of the very few misdirection puzzles I’ve ever figured out 🙂 :

    Petals Around The Rose

    And because it’s very funny once you get it. I particularly recommend it for anyone you know who’s big on mathematics…

  • More Tools

    The co-ordinate system is now the right way up and redrawing is improved. I didn’t need to replace the buffer code, but I do need a better way of drawing bezigons. Possibly Cairo?

  • Tools In Minara

    Here’s a screenshot of the first shape I drew in Minara using the buffer, rendering and tool APIs. It’s the blob, not the logotype which is loaded from file. It’s just a quick test, I couldn’t actually see what I was drawing. 🙂
    Further testing shows that the buffer code needs replacing, which will add time to the project. But it’s encouraging to see this drawing program actually drawing.
