hypocycloidage

[phorte]

Alrite, this is like the first competition ive ever entered, so lets see how we go. Got the idea from a school project i did a while ago on hypocycloids. So yeah, see how we go. j = 0
col = ["0x5A70A3","0xA3AFCB","0x374562","0x315E68","0x146485","0x06222D","0x6BC4E9","0xF8A298","0xFBDC95","0xE8E0A8","0xDFD6B0"]
drawShape(random(10)+5)
function drawShape(a) {
b = a*(random(10)+4)
var shape = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("shape"+j,j++)
shape._x = random(400)
shape._y = random(400)
i = 0
shape.lineStyle(random(2)+2, col[random(col.length)], 100);
shape.moveTo(b, 0);
shape.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (i<2*Math.PI) {
x = ((b-a)*Math.cos(i))+(a*Math.cos(((b/a)-1)*i));
y = ((b-a)*Math.sin(i))-(a*Math.sin(((b/a)-1)*i));
shape.lineTo(x, y);
i += Math.PI/90;
} else {
delete shape.onEnterFrame
drawShape(random(10)+5)
}
};
}
Thats like less than 25 lines? does that matter, might put some other random things in tomorrow. How many lines is that actually counted as?

[EDIT]Seeing as imports are now not allowed my new version is kaput.. :(

Comments greatly appreciated. :D

Wow,
I just sat there watching it draw those shapes for several minutes!! I haven't looked at drawing things in actionscript much yet, but after seeing yours, it makes me want to.

Very nicely done, I like it!

good work :)

I looked at the script and speeded it up to about double the drawing speed of the original and enjoyed it all the more. :)

Sweet! Looks awesome :D. Kirupa isn't allowing the new flash 8 libraries to be used though (glow).
Love your footer also!

ah... no fair... hmmm.. will get rid of that for the time being then, will have to think of another way to do it.

Thats good.

But in your second entry you have used library classes :-/
