Instructions

Click the green flag. Watch the ellipse being drawn. After changing sliders, you may want to (re)click the green flag to clear the canvas.

Description

Based on one of the "paper strip" methods, a simple way to draw an ellipse. No difficult formulas; only primary school math. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipse#Paper_strip_methods The 'Pen' sprite does all the drawing. The two 'strip' sprites are just illustrative; feel free to hide or delete them. I got the idea for this project after receiving an invitation for @s_federici's studio "Simplest ellipse drawing algorithm": https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/29609673/ All costumes made with Scratch's vector editor.
