    u(t) is called 60 times per second.
    t: Elapsed time in seconds.
    S: Shorthand for Math.sin.
    C: Shorthand for Math.cos.
    T: Shorthand for Math.tan.
    R: Function that generates rgba-strings, usage ex.: R(255, 255, 255, 0.5)
    c: A 1920x1080 canvas.
    x: A 2D context for that canvas.

d/17063 #explanation

u/pavel

If you take every point on this picture, turn it into z=x+i*y and feed it through (sqrt(3)+z)/(1+sqrt(3)*z) then decode the resulting complex number as (x', y') and put a point there, you will get d/17063.
u/pavel

Of course you can't take infinitely many points so you will get a pixelated version. To get a proper version you need to solve the equation for the new, mapped, circle given the old circle so that you can use x.arc..

You've reached the end.
