Räupli-Tschalper

June 13, 2005

My goal in the course “Code Design”, was to create a snake/worm/caterpiller like movement.

One caterpiller in my sketch consists of several elements. They rotate around a common center point. The center point changes between the first and the last element of the “caterpiller”.
