Seeing as I'm doing Cartesian graphs in year 8 maths, and programming at<br> year 9, I have decompiled lineRider and added a routine that draws a<br> dynamic graph into the bottom left hand corner<br> <br> writes the equation of the current segment of line and plots it on a<br>
small set of axes - updates as he travels (or falls into space)<br> <br> will upload once I finish an assignment and get a bit of space<br> <br> (I changed the cartoony rider to a photo of Britney, but too cheesy to<br>
upload that version)<br> <br> rob<br> <br> <br> <br> > Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2008 11:10:37 +1100<br> > From: "Tony Forster" <<a href="mailto:forster@ozonline.com.au">forster@ozonline.com.au</a>><br> > Subject: Re: [Yr7-10it] flash game<br>
