Magic Snake Builder
(Only for the OpenSCAD'ers out there -- there's not really any sane way to make this "Customizer-able")
A virtual Magic Snake(TM) of whatever length you need. Not as tactilely satisfying as a real snake, but it does provide a different kind of mental stimulation to work out how to build the model you want.
Start with a wedge(). Then add() wedges onto it, specifying how many clicks in which direction you want to go.
I provided a "space fighter" as an example.
Don't make a real adjustable Magic Snake(TM) out of this. I don't want to infringe. It was just an interesting mental challenge to get the translations and rotations right and provide an easy interface for building the chain. Thought I'd pass it along in case it entertained anyone else.
Oh, and it takes forever to compile. I tried using render() to cache parts, and even give you a way to not use the edge rounding, but it's always slow (at least on my machine).
