Notes & Credits

Simple animation. Just 12 blocks of code! No pen, just 18 clones moving around. Design and code by @heldlaw; inspired by a codepen by Trung0246. Creating the costume took more time than writing the code. I started with a single dot, duplicated it, moved the dots apart far enough to be on opposite sides of the circle (arrow keys helped me to move them in a straight line), grouped them, made 2 duplicates of that group, rotated them 30 and 60 degrees (I used pen to draw helper lines here), duplicated all groups again, mirrored them to cover all angles, then moved all groups in place (letting the editor 'clunk' them to the center). HISTORY 2020-08-28 Project created and shared. 2020-09-04 Studio created to shelter the remixes. 2020-09-05 Posted on forum (which had little effect): https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/437223/ 2020-09-14 Front page "What the Community is Remixing." 2020-09-15 More than 100 loves, favorites and remixes; 230 projects in the remix tree. 2020-09-15 Endorsed by @KICK_THE_HABIT: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/370337260/ 2020-09-17 Endorsed by @PinkyPepper on X 2020-09-20 No longer on front page. 2020-09-22 More than 500 (re-)remixes. 2020-09-25 More than 600 (re-)remixes. 2020-10-06 More than 800 (re-)remixes, 500 loves. 2020-10-20 More than 1000 (re-)remixes. 2020-11-02 More than 1200 (re-)remixes, 600 loves. 2020-11-30 More than 1400 (re-)remixes. 2020-12-21 More than 1500 (re-)remixes. 2021-02-03 FPC for one of the remixes! https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/471207359/ 2021-02-04 The remix above has moved to a different section on the front page: "What the Community is Remixing." 2021-02-10 Remix above is no longer frontpaged. 2021-02-10 More than 1800 (re-)remixes. 2025-08-28 Re-shared after having been unshared for an unknown number of days; see https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/836764/ Please note there is a delay of a day or so before a new remix shows up in the remix list you see below: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/420987785/remixes/ The remix tree, on the other hand, appears to be promptly updated most of the time: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/420987785/remixtree/
