How the movement works

Use it for loaders, background patterns, flowers or rays: anything built from one shape repeated.

  1. 01A rounded bar (24 × 60, radius 12) is copied up to 12 times around a circle of radius 58 at the centre, each turned to face outward (angle + 90°).
  2. 02Count: 1→12 at 0.35–1.7 s and 12→1 at 3.6–4.45 s (quadratic ease-in-out). Each new copy slides from the previous slot to its own, 30° further on (cubic ease-out).
  3. 03The whole ring turns once per 4.7 s. Each copy pulses in size by 1 ± 0.22 twice per 4.7 s, each one 0.55 rad later than the last, so a ripple runs round the ring.
  4. 04Colours go blue, coral, yellow, mint. The original copy has a white outline. A "×N" counter at the top right.

Prompt

Use a repeater to make 12 copies of this petal in a circle, turning once every 4 s.
