Well, I see the COS and SIN in AppGameKit already turn the angles into radians - so nevermind about the title topic.

My next problem is that is a weird looking circle. The sides are thicker than the top and bottom. Anyone have any experience in that?

A createsprite like your doing will produce a box.

Try finer rotations using floats on the for loop




EDIT: then this will create a memory leak cause of having hundreds of sprites created, why not use a multiple ofDrawEllipse to create a circle and the getimage into a createsprite

Unsure how? - let us know and we can advise you

I am attempting to make a circular "progress" bar, so I do not believe drawellipse will work. But perhaps something similar... I will test that out.

I want to have only 1 sprite, but I do not know how to do that. I tried messing with the creatememblockfromimage, but I can't figure it out.

OK very cool. I will work on figuring out how to turn it into a sprite. Thanks for the guidance!

how about a createsprite to create the box
resize the sprite to say .1 x 1 to create rectangle

for loop the rectangle round the circlular way with setspriteangle

and then colour each sprite with the progress bar look and feel

This does the trick with only one sprite created! Thanks so much puzzlr

Ugh, of course, on my laptop it works perfect. But on my mobile the sprite is about 3 X bigger... Anyone have any ideas?
