Ive made some functions for beginners to help them with their game. Ill explain them here, I will add more functions when I got time.
Figure(int x,int y,int sides,int size,int rotate)Draws n-gons. Kinda slow with big figures, so its best
when used in 2D.
x and y are the screen coordinates.
sides = amount of lines your figure should have (triangle = 3)
size = size of each line
rotate = rotate the figure
Multi_figure(amount-of-points)Draws lines between given coordinates. The coordinates should be
in an array (
MUFIG_POINTS(amount,1) )
You can manually input the coordinates, or use random, example:
for fill=0 to amount
MUFIG_POINTS(fill,0)= rnd(640)
MUFIG_POINTS(fill,1)= rnd(480)
next fill
Distance(object one, object two)Calculates the distances and returnes it (real/float number)
Camera_set_follow(object,distance_to_object#,rotate_camera#,height#)Puts the camera behind the object.
Distance_to_object#=How far should the camera stay behind the object?
rotate_camera#=Rotates the camera, example:
Thats it, just copy those functions to your program and they should work (dont forget the array for multi_figure)
If you want an example, then remove the REMSTART and REMEND for the 2D OR 3D loop. And remove the REM in the DO LOOP for a little demonstration of the function.

sync rate 0
remstart
Figures:
Figure(x,y,sides,size,rotate)
Draws n-gons, between 2 and 300
Multi_figure(amount-of-points)
mirror = 1 will vertically mirror the figure
flip = 1 will horizontally flip the figure
REQUIRES ARRAY MUFIG_POINTS(amount,1)
for fill=0 to amount
MUFIG_POINTS(fill,0)= X
MUFIG_POINTS(fill,1)= Y
next fill
3D Math:
Distance(object_one,object_two) : RETURNS DISTANCE#
Gets the distance between 2 points in 3D space. And Fast!
Camera_set_follow(object,distance_to_object#,rotate_camera#,height#)
Puts the camera (and follows) behind an object in 3D space, rotate only works on Y angle (usefull for camera action shots)
remend
rem Do you want to rotate the figure, then adjust this number (degrees, between 0 and 360)
rotate = 180
rem For Figure
sides = 5
rem For Multi_Figure
dim MUFIG_POINTS(20,1)
for a=0 to 20
MUFIG_POINTS(a,0)=rnd(200)+320
MUFIG_POINTS(a,1)=rnd(200)+240

I'm busy making more functions, so hold on
