Working on Bézier curves... I need to figure out how to draw them recursively, preferably with as few iterations as possible.

What is the best way to draw curves in SB? You just using the pixel command?

I bet you could use a ton of arcs (using the CIRCLE command) instead of drawing one pixel at a time.

I'm calculating individual points in the curve (one for each iteration) and then connecting those points with lines.

It becomes clear when its set to very few iterations.

Oh, I see. Now, hopefully there is a simple way to replace the lines with arcs to make it look smoother

Sadly, I don't think there is a simple way to replace the lines with arcs, at least not in a way that would be more efficient than using more iterations. Using a couple hundred iterations doesn't take that long (It renders in less than a frame) and doesn't look that bad, anyways.

Interesting, thats exactly what I wanted to know. Yeah, makes sense to draw more straight segments. I think its smooth enough.

Recursive method and higher order curves are now done! I'm not sure if I should release this or not. All it does is trace curves, after all.

I think you should (maybe you could just post the code if it's short enough)

Nice work. I've written my own code to draw n-order beziers since since back in PTC (I've since ported it) and we seem kinda similar. Maybe we should compare? ;)

Well, I guess publishing it can only benefit other people. I'll post the key in another play journal entry. Until then, here's the algorithm itself.
