Rendered and animated by a BBC BASIC program, this illustrates how a regular heptagon can be dissected into eight pieces, which can then be re-arranged into a larger heptagon - but with a heptagonal hole in the middle! www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcsdl/ #bbcbasic

3D Christmas Bauble animated by 'BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0'. The music, also played by BBC BASIC, is 'Prepare Thyself, Zion' from J.S.Bach's Christmas Oratorio; it was transcribed for Z80 Music by Gerald Pye on 27th September 1981. bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcsdl/ #bbcbasic
