Well I tough I was illiterate in fluxus, but now I am sure of it ;)
you are right I want to slow down the generation of the pattern, in an
exponential way so that the generation start fast and ease out, slowing
down toward the end. So iteration 1 would have a 0.1 delay then 0.11 or
something like that.
I don't understand the usage of seed in there, and I am not sure why the
code you added is located there (and not in the actual pattern
generation). Is there a fluxus example I could toy with ? The code you
modify couldn't be run as is..
thanks again

hi,
I am wondering how to 'slow down' during a loop.
i assume you want to slow down the pattern generation not the rotation.
there are many ways probably, the first that came into my mind checks how
much time is passed and if it's bigger then a threshold it sets the random
seed and increases the threshold.
best,
