Hello all ^-^



I would mostly like to share (what you all probably already know) but I'm quite proud of it because I took the time to experiment, and learn all of this on my own. I soon come to find out that I've simulated the "mid-point circle" algorithm, but I've applied the math to create shapes of all sides (except circles, being the absolute most trivial).

A circle would be simple.

Code

x=20 * !cos(x):x=angle! + 50"
y=20 * !sin(x):x=angle! + 50"

Expanding my knowledge of this fundamental for circles, I considered dividing up the degrees of a circle, and plotting them evening.

Code

360/sides

But the experimenting didn't stop there. I wanted to not only get different shapes, but I wanted to expand or shrink their size, and I wanted to rotate them, and I wanted them colorful.

I was using Bresenham's Line algorithm as a function before, but found it's performance to be so slow it made me cringe, so I implemented as a macro. This macro has usage commented in the script.

So this is the script I've come up with! CHECK THE "CHANGE ME!!!!" on line 69

I really hope you enjoy!

For a beautiful phyllotaxis, you can change the SIDES to 20, and change LINE 91 to

Code

for /f "tokens=1" %%b in ("!d!") do %plot% !x%%c! !y%%c! !hue! 0 Û

instead of

Code

for /f "tokens=1" %%b in ("!d!") do %line% !x%%c! !y%%c! !x%%b! !y%%b! Û !hue!

Aweosme job! I have never seen colours used this way in Batch before.

I think my screen is a little small for the entire thing to fit though and it seems the thing you mentioned for line 32 is actually on line 91 :D

Yesss.... I don't know how I managed to make this mistake but thank you for catching it!

[Nakamoto.]

Well this is neat. Where you been anyway?

Dostips; mostly since the community there actually cares about/has knowledge of batch.

[Nakamoto.]

Hmm, I may have to check it out.

I genuinely hope that you do.
