what is "i"??
I've just started playing with the options in superscope. I was playing around with one of the presets (Vibrating Worm).
I was looking at the per point information

x=cos(2*i+t)*0.9*(v*0.5+0.5); y=sin(i*2+t)*0.9*(v*0.5+0.5);

I cant seem to find out what "i" is?? It's value or how it is set.
Does anyone know??

It says what i is right after x and y in the little blurb at the bottom. i the the position of the point on the scope (from 0 to 1)

i is a...
...progress variable that identifies a current point. i gives the scope "length". i ranges from 0 to 1.

Do the following:
1. in the Point field write x=i. This creates a line - a set of points.
2. write x=i-0,5. This moves the points.
3. then write y=0*below(i,0.5)+0.5*above(i,0,5)*below(i,0.75)-0.5*above(i,0.75). The points that are for i more than 0.75 move up, the ones that are between 0.5 and 0.75 move down, and the ones below i=0.5 stay in the middle of the screen.

Maybe that will help you out a little.
