I don't need this...

[LucaMs]

Often I try to imagine how it is possible to create certain things.

A "simple" graphic tool can do this, for example:

I don't need this in my apps, but I don't know how I could do it.

Many effects are fascinating (as are many algorithms, such as those for chess games and many others).

[752 Kb, then I can not attach the animated gif ]

 

[alwaysbusy]

it is all math

I once made these just for fun to find out how it worked. In another language, but I stopped working with it because it was/is actually very bad handling graphics. They would be a lot better if I would've known B4J back then...


This one was done in only 100 lines of code:


This was a lot bigger to build :

 

[LucaMs]

I know a little of trigonometry

It's the "brush" and drawing at runtime that I don't know.

P.S. with shadows ! Beautiful !

..and the B4A-magician arrived promptly with an example.
You never never stop to surprise me @Star-Dust

Thank you, but it's an algorithm I've been studying at school. We did it in Turbo Pascal and then translated it into VB4.

Now I've only translated it into B4A, so no surprises.

Anyway what LucaMs is looking for is called C-Spline. If I find it I translate it too ... but they are too old files, about 20 years ago I do not know if still the Backup CD is still legible

hmmm, i just found your challenge interesting so i spent about 1h on it.

 

[LucaMs]

what LucaMs is looking for

LucaMs (who? ) was only "thinking" on how you can draw a simple curve; point after point???

 

[LucaMs]

Perfect


P.S. Almost

you really made the car demo by yourself @alwaysbusy ??

 

[ilan]

Perfect

you own me now 1h from your life!

 

[LucaMs]

But this my real question:

how you can draw a simple curve; point after point???

 

[ilan]

But this my real question:

what do you mean Luca?

you draw points and then lines between them

 

[ilan]

But this my real question:

do you need an example code?

 

[LucaMs]

... I remember that to draw a line using the Basic of my TI/994a this machine taken about 1h for 200px
This is why I'm asking... prev. post.

you draw points and then lines between them

Yes, but there is DrawLine (canvas) to draw a straight line.

do you need an example code?

Yes, thank you, but very little, just a single curve.

 

[Star-Dust]

But this my real question:

Both I and Ilan have attached the code, take a look and take away the doubts

 

[ilan]

Yes, thank you, but very little, just a single curve.

here you go my friend (i hope it is what you wanted)

 

[LucaMs]

Both I and Ilan have attached the code

I thought... but Ilan's project is a jar

I will check yours.
