Polygon Race

I found this mesmerizing animated GIF uploaded anonymously on imgur and reverse-engineered it. The design of dots racing around superimposed polygons is perfect for NodeBox. I was able to recreate it fairly quickly using only 16 nodes.

Movie and NodeBox network attached. Set movie to loop for hours of fun.

Enjoy!

John
