What's ribbon candy? Wow, I thought it was part of everybody's holiday celebrations. Guess not. It's colorful, hard candy that looks like wide ribbons. And it's always formed into a rippled surface, kind of like the sine wave you have here. It comes in rather large boxes to protect it from breakage. My grandparents always had it on hand for Christmas. I remember it mostly because it really wasn't all that good to eat and it always shattered into lots of sharp little pieces so it was a challenge!
Good job. You may want to expand it to teach younger kids about the Scratch trig functions (so that they can get an intuitive sense of why cos and sin are important). That's pretty hard to teach, so it's a challenge...

nice! I think it's fun to watch, and cleaver with the math too, you didn't really use sin, cos, or tan but you definetly show the same thing.

Sure! I just need to understand it first...Well, I understand this much, but that's all I know. By the way, what's ribbon candy?

Thanks! It's not made with the cos and sin functions in scratch, but with 'handmade' code.
