Particles on a Sphere

uploaded by

A black sphere with particles around it. Click and drag to zoom in/out and invert.

Mad credit is due to the creator of "Black Hole", one of the most impressive shows of processing I've seen. I don't think he released any code, but he gave out the equation: (cos(θ)sqrt(1-u²), sin(θ)sqrt(1-u²), u) where 0≤θ≤2π and -1≤u≤1. I sat down with it for 30 min and made this.

In true processing spirit I'm posting the code while its still small. It might make a good base for something.
