What does a flatlander see? A new project idea.

This is an alpha wip preview of an idea that I had, what does a flatlander see (as explained in Abbott's book "Flattland") with some (soon to be) interactive pages letting one see what a flatlander sees, and training one in the art of sight recognition.

The pics will definitely be replaces by ones with better quality, I will probably need to add more fog, and remove the wobble during the turn. Any other suggestions?

That's pretty neat! Doing a side by side comparison would be sweet, that is, show an ant (or something) walk along the circle/square/line/etc, and comparing it to what the ant sees.

Yea, I'm messing around with a game engine to see if I can make a flatland world for ppl to run around in

That's really cool. It might be interesting to have a similar thing for flatlanders living on a sphere/torus/mobius strip? =D
