I saw this cool illusion somewhere (I don’t remember where), so I decided to recreate it on Scratch. Enjoy! This illusion works similarly to the barberpole illusion. It tricks our brains because we don’t have enough information to determine the true direction of the moving lines.

Fun fact: Without looking at the code, we can’t know for sure which direction the lines are actually moving!
