Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Today is the first day of the Year of the “Loong”. What’s a “Loong”? You figure it out… ; )

This isn’t much as a stereogram, but as a developmental stage of the Interactive Wireframe Stereogram it is significant. For the first time an IWISTER features curved lines (and nothing else). And for the first time you can move around the objects – spheres in this case – using the mouse.
There must be other things than snowmen that you can build out of five spheres, so have fun!
Today I have reached a new milestone in my Wireframe Stereogram development: bent wires. All the previous versions, including all the IWISTERs, had only straight lines and sharp corners, but now I finally got around to figuring out how to use Bézier curves, and this is the first result:
Next step: make it interactive…
This latest Interactive Wireframe Stereogram took a lot of work. It may seem similar to the Puzzle Cube, but the subtle differences are quite significant and required a major rewrite.
In this puzzle all four pieces are identical, and they snap together whenever two sides fit, regardless of whether it is the correct match or not. This makes for a more interesting challenge. And if you realise that you attached a piece wrongly, you can detach it again.
It’s more fun than it sounds like, trust me. Why not give it a try?
The new IWISTER (Interactive Wireframe Stereogram) is out! This one gives you four different 3D shapes, which you can move around freely. Your task is to assemble them into a cube.
Have a go at it, and then come back and leave a comment below!
