Toroidal Spirals

A JOGL applet of a spiral around the outside of a torus. The view can be controlled the following ways:

• Drag → Rotate
• Drag + Ctrl → Translate (ie move)
• Drag + Shift → Zoom

This was another project for Computer Graphics (CptS 542). During development I turned a couple of interesting bugs into features:

• Segmented- Inverts the ordering that normals are used.
• Twist Trick- Edge connections between segments are rotated 75%.
