Added the Klein model! WRT your question, I'm not sure.


Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's an artifact. I'm seeing the same drift in the cylinder geometry, which definitely shouldn't be happening. A cylinder has the same internal geometry as a plane, so turning while moving at a constant rate should give you the transformed version of a circle.

Also, I notice that doing the same thing in the Klein model gives you very weird curves. Maybe you don't have the turning logic quite right? It should turn at a constant rate in the internal geometry, not in the plane geometry. (That shouldn't matter for the hyperbolic disk because it's conformal, so I guess something else is going on.)
