Yertle the Turtle

[Richmond Mathewson]

Thanks for the equations (I had in fact already worked those out), the 
problem was
not that, the problem is that (as far as I am aware) LiveCode cannot 
move objects
for fractions of pixels, so a move of , say, 30 forward at 30 degrees 
might (and I haven't done
the Maths yet) either be 29, 30 or 32 units.

Whether, in the great scheme of things this is that important is not clear.

Richmond.

>>> If you would like the “turtle” to move to the points of the line then, lock screen, draw the line, hide the line and unlock the screen before you start moving the “turtle”. Then no-one will ever see the line and you can delete last graphic once the turtle has stopped moving.
