this sketch recursively renders a circle orbiting a circle. each iteration's circle has an attraction/avoidance relationship to another circle (possibly itself). relationships are determined by formulas in terms of i (iteration index) and n (total number of circles). changing the their relationships changes how they dance.

thanks for the feedback - glad to find others enjoy playing with it.

nosetinker: unfortunately the zoom effect is not infinite, or at least not "complete" Sad

the method i use to adjust each circle so that their diameters add up to the applet height suffers from a precision limitation: the ith diameter is computed from the (i-1)th, with the first diameter controlled directly by the user. this is problematic because the first circle would have to approach 0 for the last circle to approach the entire applet height. i'm sure there's an implicit formula for each circles diameter as a function of iteration index. i just can't be bothered to think it through at the moment Tongue
