Does Masto like spinning ? I made this one a long time ago.

@shoutcacophony Oh, wait, bright colours are a problem? I didn't know!

Here's a screenshot to entice you to click on the gfycat video.

@JordiGH So just to explain the #mathematics of what's going on, the red bits are basins of attraction where the complex roots of the polynomial \(x^8 + (4e^{8r\pi i})x^4 - 4e^{8r \pi i}\) as \(r\) increases from zero. Four of the roots remain stationary and four rotate around.

@DialMforMara Aw, that was the most fun part, to see how the basins of attraction change as the roots of the polynomial move!

@JordiGH yeah, that's where I got a headache. Maybe turn the saturation down or use fewer colors?

@DialMforMara Seriously, I do. I try to dress in colourful clothes too.

@JordiGH you could always make two versions. I'm trying to avoid waking up to motion sickness.
