Updated my Coding Train inspired Arc clock code. Now instead of a bunch of arcs, I build the rings from triangles. I changed the text format a bit too.

I am a Coding Train fan.

My attempt at Circle Morphing.

Post a screen shot of the code. Maybe we can see the error.

Is this picture easier to see?

I made a one line program into a screen full of code. Ouch!

Made a graphical 10PRINT while watching Coding Train.

I am roughly following along with the outrun-ish code from the code incomplete website. I still have lots of bugs and lost half my frame rate so far. I may try making everything sprites later, right now it is a bunch of quads made from triangles. In the original arcades they would change offsets on each line as the screen was drawn which isn't really do-able in SmileBasic.

Still working at it.

Not sure if this is going to work or not, may need to start over. It glitches out too easily.

I didn't use my matrix library on the clock, but I did make a clock. It was hard trying to make a filled arc. Lots of unintended moire patterns. So eventually I decided on a few arcs in parallel.

I was watching the coding train again. He was going over translate, scale, and rotate. SmileBasic doesn't have these so I had to make a matrix multiplication and transformation library. Messy because you can't seem to have library global arrays. So you have to pass in the current matrix state all over. I should try making a clock now.

EXERCISM.IO: Want to get better at programming in SmileBasic? Attached are ten exercises I adapted from exercism.io and the associated test scripts. Please give it a try and let me know if you run into problems. Start by running 00_main_menu. Key: 5RDXV3CJ Thanks!

There are a bunch of us on SmileBasicSource. You can find me there. Happy to have you join too.

Sample code part 3 of 3. If you add all of that to your code and use that choice function, it should make things easier to code, debug, be more resistant to invalid input, and look a bit nicer too. Have fun.

Sample code part two of three. Sorry this is long. If you have questions about the code, let me know.

Sample code part one of three. You can skip the load hello.txt part that was just to get text on the screen to put the menu underneath.

I think you want a menu like the attached screen shot. You just move to a choice with up/down and select with a or b. The function takes a delimited string as input and returns the index selected.

You are calling PRINT "Play as Rose... instead of INPUT "Play as Rose... You should really make a generic input handling function for menu choices. You have nearly the same code twice, and it doesn't handle bad input.

I took the liberty of looking through your posts in the last two days. One question and one comment and you got helpful responses on both. What were you expecting? That is actually a really good response rate. Oh, and if your computer is slowing down over the course of a few days, run a virus scan.
