hi, i want the ellipse not to stretch as it is going along the screen- how would i do this? i just want it to travel across the screen as a circle


float y=0.0;

void setup(){ size(700,700);
 smooth ();
 
}

void draw () {
 background(0);
fill(#FA2014);//planet

noStroke();
ellipse(y,45,100,y);
noFill();

 y=y+ 1;
// if (y>900)//y>height
//   y=0.0;
if (y>900){
  y=90;  

 }
}

Hi louisa,

just get that last "y" out of the ellipse function call.

Code:
ellipse(y, 45, 100, y);

should be:
Code:
ellipse(y, 45, 100, 100);

Take a look at the reference for the ellipse method. It says the syntax is like this:
Quote:
ellipse(x, y, width, height);


Also you should probably change your "y" variable to be called "x", because you are wanting to change the ellipses x position.

Hope that helps.
