Drawing straight lines at an angle
I have noticed that doing this when using:
<pen down>
<set x to( 123
<set y to( 126
makes the line go directly left, then directly up (not a straight line)
or when using this:
<pen down>
<glide( 1 )secs to x 
123 )y 126
that if I set the glide time too short then it doesn't complete the line, but too long and with the project I have in mind, then it would take ages for it to finish.
Slow (uses glide): http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/RUMCHEERYPOOPOO/1948944
Doesn't work at all (uses set x/y): http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/RUMCHEERYPOOPOO/1949084

Re: Drawing straight lines at an angle
Perhaps you should try using
[blocks]<go to x 123 )y 126[/blocks]
instead. ^^
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

And it works! I never realised there was a difference, but I'll keep it in mind for the future that there is.

Re: Drawing straight lines at an angle
What MRN said. If you use the two blocks it'll go to the X position and THEN to the Y, resulting in sort of an L shape. So using "go to x/y" will give you an angled line.
Edit: Oh, you confirmed it works

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
