This is another geeky assignment that I had to do as part of a grad course that I’m taking. I had to implement Peter’s Cromwell’s algorithm to generate celtic knots that you can find here. If you don’t know what celtic knots are, here is an example generated with my program:

rombic

In the end, I significantly extended Cromwell’s algorithm, but creating an interactive celtic knot designer. You can read my full report here http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~alopyrev/cs791/celtic_knots_report.html or can simply watch my demo videos below. Let me know what you think.

    Hi, I loved you demo and the program. I would like to learn more about knots. Do you share the source code?

    Thanks.

    Hi Anton, had fun playing with the demo applet on the PC. Couldn’t help thinking that this would make a great iPad app, especially if the number of cells could be increased greatly. Leather/wood/metal textures applied for the knot material and background would help too. Fingers crossed, could help finance your grad course.
    Good luck
    Richard
