SO sorry I haven't been active, I've been busy with computer programming...

kirkturbos

Cool! I have always wanted, to program....... but I can barely program a circle..... (JavaScript) And welcome back! Glad you're back!

doggiechristmas

Thanks! I also do JS. Here is the proggramming for one: ellipse(250, 250, 20, 20); and ellipse in a book is this: ... So you could think of it like a single one, and the first number in an ellipse is x -meaning where on the screen you put it, left or right?- 2nd number is y -meaning where you put it on the screen, top or bottom?- 3rd number is the width, 4th number is the height! Hope this helped!

kirkturbos

Ahh!!! Ok! Thank you! I never knew what the numbers meant, as I usually just copied and pasted the programming. This really helped! Thanks soo much!

It is!! I've moved on to HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

kirkturbos
