Did you try taking a part of your first coloured maze and then use flip and mirror on it ? Could produce someinteresting (though perhaps less geeky) patterns ;p

It could never do 3d on the BBC’s we had at school in ermmm 1985-ish… I think there is a logo version for a free bbc emulator kicking around the internet though, I looked at it a few years ago now.

Well, you can download the program and use the output for anything you like!
I’d love to see anything cool you create

Is it just me that thinks these need to be turned into desktop backgrounds or cards? Some interplay of the text with the images of different pieces of text…obvious candidates are romantic poems but I like the idea of finding random content that makes attractive pictures, who knows how that letter to your bank manager or university dissertation could translate! Also reminds me of http://xkcd.com/701/ science valentine.

After reading the existing comments I’ve gotten completely sidetracked – Logo was the best! I am proud and geeky to say that I was the best in the class at Logo – which came in handy cos I used AutoCAD quite a bit in uni!

The fractal style images are almost beautiful – what an interesting way to visualise the text data – I really love visual interpretations of data. You might enjoy the information is beautiful website, Kat. I am very tempted to buy the book but can’t justify it at the moment – I will have to settle with playing with your binary toy instead

Those cookies look very tasty! I need to bake some classic sugar cookies – my Mum used to make them for us and with us when we were kids and I haven’t had a proper homemade one for absolutely ages!

Logo was the best!
A younger friend tells me that Logo could actually do 3D which I’m sure it didn’t do in my day… I’m tempted to try and find a copy and do more playing with that!
