Animating Ptolemy's Equant with Python, SVG, and CSS
- kibibu 2y agoNice! Not sure why but the single bezier animation is completely borked on ff mobile. Three beziers looks great though
- fiddlerwoaroof 2y agoThe models themselves are extremely fascinating: https://rhodesmill.org/ptolemy/inner-planets.html https://rhodesmill.org/ptolemy/inner-planets.html When I was working through Ptolemy, I did some of this in Blender to visualize things like the phases of the moon as predicted by these models.
- senkora 2y agoSVG animations are a lot of fun. I really like this puzzlehunt puzzle that makes use of them: https://2021.teammatehunt.com/puzzles/time-of-your-life https://2021.teammatehunt.com/puzzles/time-of-your-life (fair warning: puzzlehunt puzzles tend to be essentially unsolvable if you aren't familiar with the conventions of how they work. this one is no exception. there is a link to the solution at the top)
- sizzzzlerz 2y agoRunning on my Mac and Safari, I can execute the first couple examples and see the static images they produce but the ones that are supposed to be animated, don't animate. Other than an initial message the %pyplot inline is deprecated in favor of %matplotlib inline, there haven't been any errors reported. This article is a couple years old but things shouldn't have morphed enough to break it. Any thoughts on why it isn't animating?
- sizzzzlerz 2y agoJust ran it with Chrome and everything appears to work so it must be something with Safari. I am running an older version of Safari because Apple stopped supplying updates to my older Macbook. I have been encountering other sites that reject Safari because they declare it too old. Must be that.
