Symmetry Artist

I just finished this neat little flash thingy I have called Symmetry Artist.

It is actually designed to teach the concepts of symmetry, but it has also turned out really artistic and fun.

Comments/suggestions/bug reports welcome. (And feel free to take a screen capture and post your artwork here!)

Re: Symmetry Artist

Wow, fun. I made some that are just about OK, but I'm sure other people will be able to make much better ones.

Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: Symmetry Artist

Nice! I'm sure it will help people understand symmetry more.

Here's a picture. It was a bit hard to keep the mouse straight - especially since I was using a touchpad!

Also, maybe a new feature could be an 'undo' button, although it is not necessary, and has nothing to do with maths.

Re: Symmetry Artist

Symmetry Artist now has a printing function, and a slightly larger drawing area.

Does the printing work for you?

Re: Symmetry Artist

Yes! v1.1 prints awesome.  I was really surprised that you can print those very fine lines with the finest pen.
I like that!  And I tried 2nd to thinest too, excellent.  Yellow and lavender look great!
Green and Brown look good, too.  And the indigo border is a rounded-corner square.  I like it!
