Draw a circle

[recneps]

Well we havent even technically got into the equations of em, my friend is this math whiz and he gave me the equation

[something]

wow...just...wow

I hate to do this but couldn't it be done simplier

something like:

code:

for a : 0..360 drawarc (50,50, 50,50,0,a, 7) delay (5) end for

Just wanted to feel smart

no wahts fun ny... i was just about to post that so i went into this thread and ,, there... u did it......... realy realy scary...

i made a cool ball rotation with filled arcs...
for by upcoming program.. i wanted the balls that are bouncing around to be half one color half another color... and have the colors rotating.....

and that is why i was about to post... scray.... brains are alike,.,.

an arc isn't the same thing as a parabola -_-

a parabola is a series of points, an arc is just a line
like when you throw a ball up, it goes up fast, slows down, then drops. if you measure height at each second, you get a series of points on a parabola. You cant throw a ball in an arc that way. Like say you were drawing a circle, and you wanted it to go up and then down again, you would use parabola, because the x and y change so its smooth.
Yes, i know thats a really long explanation and could probably be left off after the first sentence. But ok

[zylum]

well both an arc and a parabola are a series of points in fact, a line is just a series of points

[recneps]

ok let me rephrase that. a parabola is drawn point by point throughout a loop. an arc is drawn once (at least with the drawarc command)

Hey, i know this thread is a little old, but i didn't want to make another thred, I made a parabola proggy too, its like a spinnint thing, check it out

code:

View.Set ("nooffscreenonly,graphics:max;max") loop     var a : int := 0     var x, i : int := Rand.Int (32, 103)     loop         x := 25         cls         loop             x -= 1             Draw.FillOval (a * x + maxx div 2, - (x * x) + maxy - 4, 5, 5, i)             exit when x = -25         end loop         delay (20)         a += 1         exit when a = 17     end loop     a := 17     loop         x := 25         cls         loop             x -= 1             Draw.FillOval (a * x + maxx div 2, - (x * x) + maxy - 4, 5, 5, i)             exit when x = -25         end loop         delay (20)         a -= 1         exit when a = 0     end loop end loop

thats pretty sweet ;D Have some bitsss

(and whoever said "if you give bits, you receive bits". You're 100% right Everyone GIVE BITS!)

[apomb]

hey thanks man, i didn't see this post untill now! ya , i gave bits and now i'm recieving bits!! here is another quote like that " If you want something, you must give it away"

[the_short1]

neat compswiz..... ill post some of my attemps at making cool sine curves here soon ok???

here have some bits.... (compwizz) cuz i made that parabola b4 i could (iu was thinking on making it )
