i said "mathemagician" :)

i'm fairly good with numbers, but alas no formal training.
the thing is.. in this code the angle increment is linear
which with a low number of stars looks awful.

Whereas formally for a spiral the linesegment length should be fixed, so
the stars distribution is not on "spokes"/fixed angles but more like
wound string will the stars at fixed intervals.

I'll need to find a more elaborate algorithm somewhere. Might give it a
whirl later today. :)

"not much of a mathematician" - hmmmmm - think u may be more of a
mathematician than you think!

Thanks KeepitCool

yep..

im not really a mathemagician..
and it took some puzzling

but!
