I like stuff like this! I played with it for a good few minutes.

It'd be nice to have more stuff to play with though - most of the tweaks seem to produce the same visual effect.

something I've noticed which is probably an unintentional thing is if you type a number and press enter then click on the field you want to change, it will automatically change it.
(i.e. you are not flushing keys before input).

You can play with Value X,Y,Z and Value X', Y', Z' values to get different effects. The more those values are different, the more the shape changes.
however, it only supports sin, cos and tan functions. in the next version I will add some fractal equations if I will have enough time.

By the way, I'm aware of key buffer problem, but unfortunately when I use flushkey, no information can be entered at all. likewise, flushmouse disables all mouse input. I think it's probably because I've used those commands at incorrect places. I will check this issue, when I'm adding new features such as additional particle stuff.

thanks.

Very nice!

BTW - you should use Flushkeys in a conditional way.

eg.

If keyhit(whatever)
 do_funny_things(123)
 flushkeys()
endif
