Try it.
It doesn't! What about poor y?
The thing is, how large is your circle?

It varies. But it shouldn't matter, should it?

Greatdane · 2010-06-21 12:58:03

I'm done. If you want y, then use my previous equation, except multiply by the radius or something like that.

shadow_7283 · 2010-06-21 12:59:57

Sorry, but it still doesn't work...

Subh · 2010-06-21 13:10:13

why isn't my equation perfect?

MathWizz · 2010-06-21 13:29:25

Use the atan function with some if blocks like:

Could you give me a Scratch block example?

Sorry guys. Mathwizz is smarter than all of you. wink

Not necessarily.

I was just tired of making my mind explode. tongue

I would've thought that tangent(in Subh's method) would work, and Mathwizz used atan to simplify things! How smart.

EDIT: Silly counting method used in Scratch. Mathwizz could've used a simpler method had it not been so off. sad

PROTEST NEGATIVE DEGREES! tongue But seriously...

juststickman · 2010-06-21 15:11:54

Has anyone realized that you can just use point towards block, record the angle and them go back to the original direction?
If it has to use trig, copy the point towards script >.>

But we want to use advanced formulas and trigonometry! sad

Lol. tongue

lOl! Double tongue

For this project I had to repeat the same two blocks THREE HUNDRED SIXTY TIMES because Scratch's repeat blocks are so slow. sad

But that would require another sprite! And let's face it, who wants THAT? Plus, I needed the degrees listed from 1-360 AND in the Scratch format.

Do you have an iPod touch / iPhone? I'm trying to recreate an app there on Scratch. You have a planet (which is what the circle is) which you manipulate with followers to create your empire. Anyway, it might be a Prism Production, but I'm just working on the basics for now.

By the way, the reason I need 360 repeats is to draw the circle. It can't use a sprite since you can control the size and shape of your planet.

Cheat and use consecutive pen circles.

P.S. Did MathWizz solve your trig problem? 'Cause I think I can make his script shorter.

It solved it, but I'm open to new suggestions.
And what do you mean "consecutive pen circles"?

Nah, I've just been using trig for a couple of years and in a lot of different things. Practice makes perfect!
