[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font=Georgia]I'm working on a puzzle game for iPads that takes the mechanics of a somewhat obscure game from the 1990s(*) and puts them on a double logarithmic spiral.[/font][/color]
The final app will be styled similar to one of M. C. Escher's tessellations of the plane with the tessellation changing at level breaks. I don't have a name yet...[/font][/color]
ift turns out to be too immature in which case I'll use C++ and Cocos2d-x again.[/font][/color]

I'm going to write a journal entry about the mathematics involved in using a spiral game grid like that. Not that it would come up a lot, but it is kind of interesting.
Basically for the animation you are talking about: each cell knows its scale, translation from the center, and rotation about the center. To draw a cell you perform affine transformation on a " base" cell. To do the animation you linear interpolate the scale, rotation, etc. between the start cell and the destination cell.

How the hell did you animated the squares down the spiral (the transition to the next one)??
