That looks good too, but I'm somehow getting the impression that it wouldn't
generate a dodecahedron.

I just did some reading about it and a lot of this stuff seems quite well
defined. I wonder how hard it would be to turn something like
the definition of those platonic shapes into a function generating them,
then trying to extend that. Too hard for me right now, but at least I could
see how we could go from the basic ones to some of the more complicated ones
generatively.

One question is what should be build into Fluxus and what can be projects
done in Fluxus, of course. A lot of those mathematical shapes look quite
universal to me and they could make good fun as a starting point for
creativity. Not sure how cleanly that stuff could be abstracted. Just
thinking out loud here.

Speaking of the build in shapes; is there a reason why cylinder takes two
arguments? Is the first one purely there in the interest of later deforming
the object?

Yours,
Kas.
