In the June Challenges , LitDev included a great Graphics Challenge:

Graphics Challenge:

• Draw a multi-coloured spiral

And the challenge began!

Coding Cat started us off on June 1st:

I love the graphics challenge. It turns out I wrote a double spiral program as one of my first forays into Small Basic. :-)

Import code: QSP181



The thickness of the line, and angle of the turns are chosen at random at the start of each spiral.

Next came a version from Pappa Lapub :

Another spiral, ID: WNV073 (However, LitDev's image looks better)

Then LitDev entered the fray:

Couldn't resist having a go, KCK850 .

This later reminded Mr. Monkeyboy of yarn and a slide ruler:

I did something similar with yarn and cardboard and elmers glue in the 7th grade. Won the art class art project "challenge". Back then a PC was an abacus or slide rule.

Slide rule image. I believe the Smithsonian Institution has some of these.

NaochanON joined the party:

Graphics Challenges

This is a Ferma's spiral QSF666

And all those contributions were on June 1st!

Then, on June 2nd, YLed contributed a spiral:

Beautiful !!!

could not resist... me too, so

i took the litdev spiral version and added some modifications:

KCK850-0

But YLed was not done:

ANIMATED version, of a PULSE SPIRAL, litdev spiral modification 2

that's fun !!!

KCK850-1

Next came Tryhest :

nice wrk nao))

a small update: infinite rotating hypnotic spiral: QSF666-0

and changing color version also: QSF666-1

NaochanON responded:

Tryhest   nice!

but I feel faint!!

Then YLed unleashed the rainbow:

now litdev KCK850 with a full rainbow colors:

ZLP862

Yled also returned with a Turtle-tastic version of a rainbow spiral:

the       R A I N B O W    S P I R A L

Here is MY version of the spiral challenge :  PROGRAM : PND589

it's a very Small code,

with the Turtle: ( takes 1-2 minutes to draw )

And all that was on the second day of June! Next spiral was on June 11th...

Nonki Takahashi joined the spiral smackdown:

This is another rainbow spiral: BDX376 .

So there you go! That's a whole lot of June Spirals! And guess what! That was only part of the June challenges thread! Read the whole thing here:
