an animated gif showing a disc of dots. They're bright and clustered in the middle, but further out they're in a tight spiral, reminiscent of a sunflower.

   If you turn the panels 90 degrees so their scan lines are now columns, you can do a bit better. The update doesn't have to be sequential - instead of stepping one column at a time, you can skip a few each time. As long as you pick a number which is coprime with the number of columns, and you wrap around once you go past the last one, you'll still visit each of them but spread out more evenly throughout the volume.
