Is this a simple algorithm?
-
Ive allways liked playing around wih SetPixel and GetPixel, this time ive created a quite nice and simple pattern drawer, only using the SetPixel, GetPixel and some very simple math ( pow(), cos() sin() tan() modulo, * / + - ). It fills up the screen with varius drawing methods using a formula. Here[^] (2.49MB) is an example of my latest pattern. I wonder, can this be considerd as a simple algorithm?

I meant that i dont use any advanced functions for mathematics. the drawing code itself is kinda insane and the whole project would probably land in coding horrors if i where to release it :D

Maybe you can move all your widgets to a parallel discussion board ?

It seems you already took a couple of steps inside the parallel universe...:-D

Most people, including people who consider basic trigonomic function like sine and cosine advanced, could readily understand them if they were explained properly.

Nine divided by four is two with one left over.
So it seems you also believe in rational numbers. Pity real life isn't always so simple. Presenting a simple example does not negate the existence of more complex ones or the more advanced tools which may be required to deal with them.

Exactly how, in your universe, do you pack nine widgets into four boxes, where each box is only big enough for two? And how does 9/4=2.25 help you do that more than 9/4=2r1?
How would you pour 9 liters of water into 4 containers ensuring each container has an equal quantity? I would pour 2.25 (9/4) liters into each glass. 9/4=2r1 is not as useful as 9/4=2.25 in this example. I’m afraid I’m not ready to give up my rational (or even real) numbers.
