Ideas for tumbling and duplicating a rectangular box

[Kharakov]

Basically, I have a basic form already. Just a single "Jenga" stick. I want to translate, rotate, and duplicate it.

But not symmetrically!!!! I'd like to make copies of the stick, rotate, and translate them. Maybe along a specific axis.... Scale them too. I want a jumble of sticks like Ryan's artwork in the other thread.

Any easy to interpret pseudocode (I like c++/GLSL) would be nice. Or jokes.

I meant something like this. I'm thinking of different directions to take it now. Any ideas?

search on translation and rotation of axis. Hot topics in the early days of video graphics.. Plotting curves with limited pixel resolution.

I wanted an interesting way of assigning positions. I'm already translating and rotating the objects- don't know if you can see it?
