basically, because you have to work with coding again, I suppose you understand it. the triangles are drawn no in a way superscopes are, but somewhat similarly. here is how you draw a single triangle:



x1=0.1;y1=0.1;

x2=0.2;y2=0.2;

x3=0.3;y3=0.3;

i hope it is clear why you have to set 3 x,y coordinates. because a triangle has 3 points. so, now that you know this, we are in the same position as we were in the case of the cube. how the hell shall we help you to get further? first, you learn maths. then try to figure it out. it is highly possible.

Wait for the final of the proggy guide, theres a chapter on it.

btw wich standard variables does the triangle.ape use?

x1,x2,x3 - y1,y2,y3 ? -- and you MAKE YOUR OWN variables... or at least what jaak tryed to explain to me, then gave me a preset that blew me away 😛

i haven't played much with this ape by now, but all i know till now is that it uses those three coordinates and you can assign "i". But are there any other built in variables to be set?
