Another adaptation of an old QB4.5 program of mine. This is a simulation of a Spirograph. To be precise it simulates the result of a wheel that runs around inside a larger wheel and the patterns that can be created with different diameters of the small wheel and offsets from its centre. It is easy to use and is something of a rabbit hole that you may well disappear down into. While instructions are included in the comments, here is the relevant text -
Quote:To experiment with the patterns that this program can produce it is only necessary to alter the values held in two constants. These constants are SmallDiameter# and Offset#. Changing the value in SmallDiameter# will alter the overall shape of the pattern while altering Offset# will change the "pointyness" of the peaks. To see what I am talking about, simply play around with these constants. Note that it is not necessary to change both values every time that you wish to change the pattern.
If you find values for one or the other of those constants feel free to post them in here. To start you off try a value of 100 for SmallDiameter#. One little warning - it is possible to get the drawing to run off the screen although this doesn't crash the program.

' Subject: SIMULATION OF A SPIROGRAPH Date: 02-23-99 (21:53)
' Author: TarotRedhand Code: QB, QBasic, PDS
'===========================================================================
'SPIRO.BAS - A simulation of the most used part of the toy called a
' spirograph. Public domain. Use entirely at own risk. The
' author accepts no liability whatsoever. In the case that I have
' used a registered trademark, I apologise. I do not at this time
' own any trademarks.
'
' There is a toy called a spirograph that is used to make curved patterns.
' This toy consists of a number of pieces that are made from transparent
' plastic and a number of ball-point pens with different coloured inks in them.
' Each piece has gear-teeth along their outside edges. The gear-teeth are
' all of the same size, independent of the piece that they are on. In
' addition each piece has a number of holes in them, which are designed to
' accept a pen point.
'
' This program works in VGA mode 12 graphics and is a simulation of the most
' often used part of that toy. It simulates the use of 2 of the plastic pieces
' to produce a circular pattern. As this program uses double-precision
' numbers and maths, it is comparatively slow. One thing that I have done to
' speed this up is to have 2 identical SUBs with STATIC variables in them.
' This works by ensuring that the built-in functions SIN and COS are only
' called once for each of the 2 angles that are used.
'
' RULES
'
' In order to use this program there are a few rules that you should be aware
' of. DO NOT alter the value of the constant LargeDiameter#. DO NOT place a
' value in the constant SmallDiameter# that is less than or equal to zero or
' greater than or equal to the value in LargeDiameter#. DO NOT place a value
' greater than one or less than or equal to zero in the constant Offset.
' Violation of any of these rules will result in at best, the program
' attempting to draw off of the screen.
'
' Using this program.
'
' To experiment with the patterns that this program can produce it is only
' necessary to alter the values held in two constants. These constants are
' SmallDiameter# and Offset#. Changing the value in SmallDiameter# will alter
' the overall shape of the pattern while altering Offset# will change the
' "pointyness" of the peaks. To see what I am talking about, simply play

' values every time that you wish to change the pattern.
'
' Anyway, have fun.

Which reminds me allot of Sprezzo's efforts of circles within circles... only he did pendulums.

But what we want to see is the line created by the last circle in the chain:

That is just the beginning of a very long circle filling ride!
And something looks off, a Spirograph drawing does not bulge out on right side not to mention 10 gears is 8 or 9 too many!
Back to drawing board...

Mark..which version u use ...?
I lost my 1.6 i think on broken hdd
the one posted by TarotRedhand
work with old 1.2 i have in this hdd packed with DavIDE

@Aurel QB64 went from version 1.5 to 2.0 skipping over all in between, I believe you commented on it.
Reason was debug was added and we could no longer use function names as temp variables making all previous code that did that incompatible with 2.0+

OK next step in story is me trying to get closer to a Spirograph than Ashish:
Here is my first effort 5 years ago almost:
Code: (Select All) _Title "Test 1 Spirograph" ' b+ trans from SB 2022-05-10
'Spirograph test.bas SmallBASIC 0.12.9 (B+=MGA) 2017-07-01

Screen _NewImage(xmax, ymax, 12) ' using 16 colors
_ScreenMove 300, 20
Dim Shared pi
pi = _Pi
rO = ymax / 2 - 10 ' fit screen radius of big circle
rI = rO / 2 ' smaller circle that travels inside edge of larger
OI = rO / rI ' rate inner circle spins compared to angle on outer circle
'? OI
Ox = xmax / 2
Oy = ymax / 2
Dim Shared px(20000), py(20000), pIndex
For a = 0 To 2 * pi Step pi / 360 'while the inner circle contacts outer at angle a
Cls
Circle (Ox, Oy), rO, 9
'the origin of inner circle at same angle
Ix = Ox + (rO - rI) * Cos(a)
Iy = Oy + (rO - rI) * Sin(a)
Ia = OI * a 'the angle of the inner points are OI * a on outer circle
'draw line from origin of inner circle to outer edge
Color 12
wheel Ix, Iy, rI, -Ia
For i = 1 To pIndex - 1
PSet (px(i), py(i)), 15
Next
_Display
_Delay .010
Next
Sub wheel (x, y, r, a)
'local i, x1, y1
Circle (x, y), r
For i = 1 To 12
x1 = x + r * Cos(i * 2 * pi / 12 + a)
y1 = y + r * Sin(i * 2 * pi / 12 + a)
Line (x, y)-(x1, y1)
If i = 12 Then
x2 = x + r / 2 * Cos(i * 2 * pi / 12 + a)
y2 = y + r / 2 * Sin(i * 2 * pi / 12 + a)
px(pIndex) = x2
py(pIndex) = y2
pIndex = pIndex + 1
End If
Next
End Sub

Me thinks if Walter had posted his after Ashish or mine, neither of us would have pursued Spirograph further! ;-))

ok..maybe i have 1.8..i am not sure
ahhh i need to find download for 2.0 version
and damn..i also lost my Qb64 editor ..grrr

@Aurel
Try QB64pe .6 should be better! Editor comes automatic with QB64.

OK to get closer to drawing with a Spirograph, we need to play around within inner gear sizes.
BTW do we need toothed gears? Heck no! Toothed Gears are for people with real Spirographs so circle doesn't slide around. Gears are allot of extra trouble and even Walter's, a very professional looking Spirograph, has the teeth misaligned! (Yeah look closer!)
So in Test 2 we change sizes of inner radius as ratio's to outer radius 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ...
Code: (Select All) _Title "Test 2 Spirograph - different small gear sizes" 'b+ 2022-05-10 trans from
'Spirograph RO divided by 2 - 10 = RI.bas SmallBASIC 0.12.9 (B+=MGA) 2017-07-01
xmax = 700: ymax = 700
Screen _NewImage(xmax, ymax, 12) ' using 16 colors
_ScreenMove 300, 20
Dim Shared pi
pi = _Pi
Dim Shared px(20000), py(20000), pIndex
rO = ymax / 2 - 10 ' fit screen radius of big circle
Ox = xmax / 2
Oy = ymax / 2
pIndex = 0
For ir = 2 To 10
rI = rO / ir ' smaller circle that travels inside edge of larger
OI = rO / rI ' rate inner circle spins compared to angle on outer circle
For a = 0 To 2 * pi Step pi / 360 'while the inner circle contacts outer at angle a
Cls
Color 15
Print "inner radius = 1 /"; ir; " of outer radius"
Circle (Ox, Oy), rO, 9
'the origin of inner circle at same angle
Ix = Ox + (rO - rI) * Cos(a)
Iy = Oy + (rO - rI) * Sin(a)
Ia = OI * a 'the angle of the inner points are OI * a on outer circle
'draw line from origin of inner circle to outer edge
Color 12
wheel Ix, Iy, rI, -Ia
For i = 0 To pIndex - 1
PSet (px(i), py(i)), 15
Next
_Display
_Delay .01
Next
Next
Sleep
Sub wheel (x, y, r, a)
'local i, x1, y1
Circle (x, y), r
For i = 1 To 12
x1 = x + r * Cos(i * 2 * pi / 12 + a)
y1 = y + r * Sin(i * 2 * pi / 12 + a)
Line (x, y)-(x1, y1)
If i = 12 Then
x2 = x + r / 2 * Cos(i * 2 * pi / 12 + a)
y2 = y + r / 2 * Sin(i * 2 * pi / 12 + a)
px(pIndex) = x2
py(pIndex) = y2
pIndex = pIndex + 1
End If
Next
End Sub
Looks right to me ;-)) as the ratio increases by 1 the number of sides drawn increases by 1. This draws a perfectly enclosed figure each round because the smaller radius divides the larger perfectly.
