Simple 3D animation question

Hi David,

How many wires in your wire animation?

How fast and smooth does your rotation
need to be?

Is there going to be an image or writing
on the side that shows up?

Hmm, an icosahedron has 20 sides, so
it’s like 20 sided dice!

I just saw a web version that didn’t bother
to rotate the image since only one side
is up.  The guy did a fade to white to
simulate the roll and then just showed
a new number on facing side.

It’s a lot simpler! It would save you a
lot of coding time.  Especially since you
clearly have a looming deadline.

Anytime I have tried to do an animation
with LiveCode I have found it to be too
slow and jerky.  Your mileage may vary.

Good luck!

Rick
