In DBC, After I create a circle with a radius and position based on variables, how would I determine if an object is in the circle, and tell how far the object is away from the the center of the circle.
Thanks

Some people say 2+2=Fish.
I don't.

You need the good old 2D distance formula

+ Code Snippet

sync on : sync rate 50

circleX = 320
circleY = 240
radius = 100

do
  cls
  circle circleX,circleY,radius

  d# = Distance2D(circleX,circleY,mousex(),mousey())

  if d# < radius
    text 50,50,"Inside Circle!"
  else
    text 50,50,"Outside Circle!"
  endif

  sync
loop

Function Distance2D(cx#,cy#,x#,y#)
  dx# = cx# - x#
  dy# = cy# - y#
  dist# = sqrt((dx#*dx#)+(dy#*dy#))
endfunction dist#

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.
