Beziers?

Posted by DevonX on Nov. 26, 2006, 10:28 a.m.

Alright, I'm a little slow with trying to learn how beziers work. But for all of you people out there that also might be wondering how they work. I have found I little animation on Wikipedia that is amazing. How amazing? well, just by looking at this picture for about 10 seconds in about 15 minutes, I made my own little dynamic bezier curve in GM. Heres the little animation of it.

<B>EDIT:</B> If anyone wants the .gm6 for reference, just tell me and ill post the link. Im also working on how to make more than just 3 control points for it. Its a bit tricky.

<B>Controls:</B>

Left-drag - move point.

Enter - toggle lines between control points.

space - move points to random posistion.

<B>EDIT2:</B> Heres the editable, srry for the sloppy code in the 3-control point object. http://64digits.com/users/superdevon4/Bezier3.gm6

I also added an animation picture (from wikipedia) to illistrate how more complex beziers work. Also heres the wiki link just in case anyone else is confused from the pix and/or .gm6
