geometrian simulator wave interaction interference cancel

Description

When waves are overlaid, they add and subtract to each other, a phenomenon called constructive and destructive interference. Except in certain cases, it is very hard to visualize what the resultant wave will look like. This program allows you to generate one to four waves, then see how they add to form the resultant.

If you want to hear some cool mixes, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_temperament to find values you can put in. For example: 40 1 40 1.25 40 1.5 40 2 ...is a major cord.

3D version released! I want to compile it to .exe, but PyOpenGL doesn't like py2exe. Does anyone know why?

I don't see why not... I made it this way because the code is actually really simple. I assumed anyone who wanted to copy it could just do it themselves. I also wanted to make it available to those w/o pygame. I'll put up the source when I get a minute.

This is neat...but why can't we have some source code, since this is not a game? :-/
