Download this project!
Download the 12 sprites and 18 scripts of "The Ellipserator" and open it in Scratch Project Notes
This is next in the series started by "The Parabolator." This one draws ellipses (also known as ovals) and circles. It is an interactive math-art project that can also help you on your own projects.
General Instructions: Change the moves on x and y by using the "x shift" and "y shift" buttons. Change the height and width by move the arrow buttons. Press "Graph" to graph and "Clear" to clear.
Math Instructions: I suppose this could be used to check your homework or just find out mathy things. Follow the "General Instructions" and look at the equation it gives.
Scratch Instructions: There are many instances where ovals are used in projects. For example, in a racing game, there might be an oval track and in a space game, objects might orbit in an oval shape. This equation can be used to make objects move in ovals and circles. Download and look at background 2 to learn how. If this helps you on a project, please tell me so I can see it.
Art Instructions: Even if you do not know (or like) this kind of math, this project can be used to make art. Follow the "General Instructions." Change the color by clicking on the pallet. The multi-color part on the left side of the pallet makes the pen color change continually, creating a rainbow effect. Experiment! Tell me what you make.
Thanks for viewing my project. Please comment.

Thank you very much.
Hiyas! I am making a scarctch game that I'd like you to make a sprite for! The game is gonig to be kinda like pokemon, but with famous scratchers like yourself! I need you to draw out a char. for me that relates to yourself, 2 attacks, the dmg. the attacks do, and the chars. name. Please take the time to read this and do it! Thanks scmb1!!!!! -Marioman91
Wow, nobody's ever called me "famous" before! Thanks! The problem is, I really don't know anything about pokemon- I've never played it or watched the TV show. So, sorry, but I'm not sure I'll be able to help...
(view all replies)One of the best projects on scratch! It must´ve taken forever to make it.
Thank you very much. Yes, it took some time.
cool design
Thanks hackjack.
I am impressed.
Thank you very much.
Very nice
Thank you
Great job! your project inspired me to make The Fuctionator which works with sines. Its not quite at the same level this project is at, but i'm making a 2.0 version that is much more interactive. (link to project)
Thank you! I will check out your project.
nicely designed
Thank you very much.
!:)
Did you try to make smiley icon?
awesomness.do you know how to make games?if you do you should make a really cool hockey game!!!!
I don't really like making games. I prefer making math stuff.

Congratulations! Chosen by The-Whiz!
Thanks Ahaan.
I'm choosing this for the curator spot on the front page. I'm choosing it because this is a neat simulation. I think it is ingenious how you made the ellipse script. Congratulations!
Thanks so much!
I agree. This is a very tidy grapher.
impressive
Thanks sparks.
cool project!
Thanks switenky!
(view all replies)im a beginer so i have to ask. how did you do this!
Did you download it? What exactly do you want to know? I'd be happy to explain!
Cool!
Thanks :)
Wow great project. Awesome interface! its very easy to understand what ellipse you will graph before it graphs and you dont even need to know about the math for ellipses. great job
Thank you
Awsome! I made a 3d planet with two different sized moons!
That's cool!
Another lovely project! I'm downloading this and saving it. ;)
Thanks so much!
Great! Elipses are so hard! I had to make a comet that orbited the sun in an elipse, and it was very confusing! What a great project!
Thanks
confusing!!
How so?
(view all replies)Lovely! This is so amazing.
Thanks Ahaan!

Help! Your avatar has the square root of negative 1! Aaaaaah!
the square what of whatitive what???
(view all replies)Ha Ha. The square root of -1 is the imaginary number i, so i love math.
(view all replies)Wow! Neat looks, as you always do. Your series is great! I love it!
Thank you!
This is awesome! I love the way it lets you locate and resize the ellipse and it derives the equation. I couldn't get the rainbow feature to work though (online).
The rainbow feature now works online.
(view all replies)Thank you. Thanks for letting me know about the rainbow feature. I'll fix it.
very cool I am glad you added it to GCG
Thanks! You have an awesome gallery!
(view all replies)Cool...

Nice job!
