Part of ellipses

[Xhris]

I understand now Alex. You didn't mention chopping the top off first. I wanted the shape to keep the 'ellipse' like Valery's and Soquili's. Neat trick anyway.

Sorry Chris, I couldn't make anything out from your video, so I assumed I must have been missing some sound. Your video lasts for 27 seconds, the first 18 seconds shows only a blank page and an arrow, then a close-up, then the 2 main shapes, and that's it 3 frames?

hmm, strange. Does this occur for anyone else?

Chris,

If I open it in Windows Media Player it has only 4 to 6 frames. If I open it with Nero it plays as expected.

Well that makes no sense? I'll try and figure it out later and re-post.

EDIT: ok, the problem is that i forget other people don't necessarily have super powerful computers. I recorded it in a very high frame rate. Lesser capable computers require more processing power than is available to display the video, and thus lose most of the frames. I will redo later more conservatively. In fact, i'll YouTube it.

Call me old fashioned but what is wrong with one or two simple pictures?

Because pictures are less fun. :-) A picture is worth a thousand words, and a video is worth a thousand pictures. Teething trouble over now (hopefully). Video embedded below or here:

Do these boards not allow embedded youtube objects? If not, could i make a call for this to be allowed?

EDIT: hopefully better now. Don't fancy doing commentary yet though.

I'm quite sure the rest of us are not using Vic20s. You'd be surprised. I don't think that is the problem. There is actually more than the first several frames... if you wait it out. But there isn't anymore until towards the end... nothing in the middle.

Very good Xhris. I understood the first example but the second???
The YouTube screen is very small as it is and you have used just half of it. Also it is very fast with no commentary.

I just watched it on YouTube also. Very nice!!! Your voice would add a lot.

Gary, get that tippex out or sort out that typewriter - I think you are most likely a Luddite..
