How to control the position of 2 lines
Apr 20th, 2008, 11:56pm  
I am doing an assignment. I was confuse of how to use the line syntax.
It saids,

Control the position of two lines with one variable.

Control the position and size of two lines with two variables.
Control the properties of two shapes with two variables.

How would I start off to do these processes?

You probably want to make a function that creates either lines or shapes and takes the number of variables that are being asked for as arguments.

for example:

void draw(){
 makeline(1,2);
}

void makeline(float x, float y){
 line(x,y,x+10,y+10);
}

I'm guessing this is what you're asking for.  Controlling the position of something in 2d requires at least two variables though, so i'm not sure what they mean by the one variable thing.
