Equilateral Triangles

[Randy Hengst]

would this help at all?

create a regular polygon with 3 sides… then in the script of that graphic:

on mouseDown
   repeat while the mouse is down
      local tStartLoc
      put the loc of target into tStartLoc
      set the angle of target to (the angle of target + 15)
      set the loc of target to tStartLoc
   end repeat
end mouseDown


be well,
randy
