Laser Show Pattern Maker

Description
By Steve's Makerspace

Video about it here: https://youtu.be/xdBiYuc1EqI

Uses The Modpack, Modpack Beta, Modpack Polygons, Modpack Invisible, and Sci-Fi Mod. Not necessary, but you might want to install the Night Mod while using.

First, weld to the ground near the seat post to reduce shaking view. DO NOT PUT ON LIFT, as this permanently turns off the lasers.
AFTER welding, press the red switch near the big red arrow and then wait 30 seconds while the full circle is constructed. If the lasers glitch together in construction, you can try turning the switch off and see if it fixes itself and then turn the switch on for a second try.

Get it in seat, which is in the middle of the circle and about 20 blocks up. There is a single blue block right behind the seat so you know where the seat is located.

Press 1 to start.
2 & 3 Increase and decrease base speed
4 & 5 Increase and decrease vertical axis speed (so pressing 2 & 4 together make the whole thing faster)
6 & 7 Increase and decrease what I call a horizontal additive (default value is 0.0)
8 & 9 Increase and decrease what i call a horizontal multiplier (default value is 1.0)
(Kind of hard to describe these last two, but hitting 6 & 8 several times will result in a more chaotic pattern, with more spiraling and heart shapes. If it gets too much, put them back to default.)
0 Resets the starting angle, so turning it off and hitting reset will (eventually) put all the lasers back to a starting position (at least on the horizontal axis).

There is a color block in front of the controls that you can paint to change the color of the lasers. (In the video I said that it is inside the circle, but after posting I remembered I can transfer the color value from one color block to another.)

I suggest just experimenting with various speeds and values to see what happens. Enjoy!
