Halfgear

I became fascinated by the weird optical illusions that make the gear look sort of like it's bent by 90 degrees, especially when the pieces are disconnected, so I made this applet where you can change all (?) the gear parameters using the arrow keys and the lower left keys azdcfv. Since you can very quickly end up with something that is not a gear, there is r to reset.

Gears.java   BufferedApplet.java   Cube.java   Gear.java   Matrix3D.java   PointyPoint.java   Shape.java   Sphere.java   Spins.java   Vector3D.java  

Here is the bug that showed me the weird perspective.
