Perhaps Beagle could program it while attendinng to his parents? You know, just to give him something to keep him sane................

   Me, too.

Some more geometric patterns (trying to avoid them looking too much like swastikas)

Running out of ideas for patterns. Maybe I'll go back to different setts.

[Griffin NoName]

Some of those make me dizzy.

That last group appears as a 3D pattern on my monitor!   

I see distinct layers for each color, like the effect an old Mac plugin created for 3D screen savers.

[Swatopluk]

Wow, that's actually true. At least on this tube monitor. I have certain doubts about my flatscreen.

Some of them look like waffles, only the colour is different.

I think I know where the effect comes from. The sett and the pattern have different width. When one squints to get the images to coincide the brain assumes that both are the same and thus one must be at a different depth. I find it particularly strong with the bottom right of this one. I think it fails as a tartan weave because it looks as if the pattern was printed on afterwards and is not the actual weave but if treated as a 3D image the vertical stripes stand out with the lighter ones looking transparent to give a view at the continuous pattern below. Interestingly the narrow red/yellow stripes seem to have a life of their own.

OK, let's dig out some old Guru Josh 12" records and start partying like it's 1992 again!  Trippy!
