Project Notes

Begin by choosing how many cars you want to control. Press 1,2,3,or 4 When you are ready to start, click on the joystick. Use the joystick to control the speed and direction of the car(s). Push up to go faster, pull down to slow down. Tilt left to turn left, right to turn right. If you let go of the joystick it will self-centre. This means the car(s) will continue with the last selected speed, but will travel in a straight line. While the cars are moving, press 'P' to draw a pattern and 'U' to lift the pen up for no drawing. When you have finished, press space to hide all the cars so you can take a 'snapshot' of the screen. Then you can make a spinning mulit-colour band! Happy colouring! N.B. This is one of several projects to use the joystick control. Feel free to 'borrow' it. (This control is based on an idea from Squeakland)
