Download the 2 sprites and 5 scripts of "Cycloid" and open it in Scratch
Project Notes
==Instructions== Click the circle to make it roll. Then press space to see the cycloid which it makes!
==What is a cycloid?== A cycloid is the path that something on the edge of a circle makes as the circle rolls. A ramp in the shape of a cycloid is better for rolling down! Something which rolls down a cycloid-shaped ramp gets to the bottom faster than any other shape.
==How it works== This project uses lists. A sprite goes to the same place on the circle's edge, and then records its x and y position on two different lists, x and y. Then, when you press space, it goes so every position on the two lists.
