A visual representation of τ (“tau”, pronounced /taʊ/)
There is an argument for using τ (Tau) instead of π (Pi) in mathematics. τ = π/2.
Arguably this simplifies some mathematical properties and formulars, and makes them more intuitive.
This visualization is an exploration of τ.
This representation is keyboard-controllable!
- [space]: stop/start continuous steps (looped animation)
- [left]/[right]: one step back/forward
- [up]/[down]: in-/decrease step size
- [plus]/[minus]: in-/decrease canvas size
