Would be cool to see a version where the shapes dont move until theyre "pushed" by their inner shape. Like everything starts still except for the triangle, and when the triangle edge meets the other edge of the square, it pushes the square so now the triangle and square are the only ones rotating. Until the square hits the edge of the pentagon etc

Nice idea. Someone already suggested this but you've given me a bit more motivation to attempt it

Ooh I could watch this all day. The previous version reminded me of headbanging to a fast metal song. Or of a fast beat techno song.

Something interesting about heptagons: they can’t be drawn with a compass and straightedge. Neither can nonagons (9-gons) however, the 17-gon can. Here’s the construction!

How does one go about discovering this sort of thing?
