Optical Illusion

Found interesting optical illusion on Internet, was curious if I could duplicate it.

Oh I get it now, bplus isn't a grade, it stands for balls plus! It's some kind of cognitive  illusion!

Well that was cool! I could follow the straight line movement just find but as soon as you lose focus, bam, they appear to be traveling in a circle.

Nice recreation!

Both are very clever. Discs travelling in a straight line, but due to the timing, appear to travel in circles. Nicely done!

I only have one question. Do they come in blue? lol

I too had seen this online a good while back and tried writing it but the math involved just flew over my head and I gave up before I closed my first DO LOOP.

Great job, bplus! Really fun to watch - I like the "trick explained" mode in the first program.

LOL! Silly question. Mark lives in Canada, so of course his balls come in blue!

Have you considered therapy? Under the Canadian system, some other poor schmuck will pay for it.

I knew they were circles right off the bat but it does look like a spiral when the squares are slanted. This stuff probably comes to us from an alternate universe. One where QB64 does not exist, and the Bill there needs something to keep himself occupied. I'm just saying...
