If n1 here is curious, I’ve got a “3D Knot” sketch in Java Mode, Python Mode & p5js flavors: 👅

Java Mode: [3D Knot (Java) - OpenProcessing](http://OpenProcessing.org/sketch/608725)

Watch it online below: grin[OpenProcessing.org/sketch/608726](http://OpenProcessing.org/sketch/608726) However, there’s a worse bug in it: the last stroke() determines the color for all vertex()! -1 “index.html”: \<!DOCTYPE html\> \<meta charset=utf-8\> \<meta name=viewport content=width=device-width,initial-scale=1\> \<script async src=https://cdn.JsDelivr.net/npm/p5/lib/p5.js\>\</script\> \<script defer src=sketch.js\>\</script\> “sketch.js”: /\*\* \* 3D Knot (2017/Dec) \* Daniel Shiffman \* https://Y…
