In summary, creating walking stick figures serves the purpose of visually representing movement and posture in a simple and abstract way. The materials needed for this process include a pencil, paper, and an eraser, with optional materials including markers, colored pencils, or a digital drawing tablet. There are specific techniques for creating walking stick figures, such as using basic shapes and incorporating movement through limb positioning. However, anyone can learn how to create walking stick figures with practice and patience, regardless of their artistic skills. To create more realistic walking stick figures, it is helpful to study the movements and proportions of real people or animals and add details such as clothing and facial expressions.

I could draw 2 sticks (/ and \), now i am stuck at how to join their stick heads together so that when I can write a function to make them move, their heads will stay stickie forever. Can you tell me how ?
I once asked about these walking sticks but no one gave me answers, I am trying to write the whole project's program from scratch..

Thanks a lot

for sharing your guide on creating walking stick figures! I have been trying to figure out how to join the stick heads together as well, so that they will stay connected when I make them move. Your guide has been very helpful in explaining the process and providing clear steps to follow.

To answer your question, there are a few different ways you can join the stick heads together. One way is to use a circle or oval shape to connect the two sticks at the top, creating a head-like shape. Another option is to use a small rectangle or square shape to connect the sticks, giving the appearance of a neck. You can also experiment with different shapes and sizes to create unique stick figures.

In terms of writing a function to make them move, you can use a simple animation technique where you draw the stick figures in different positions and then display them in a sequence to create the illusion of movement. You can also use mathematical equations to calculate the movement of the stick figures, such as changing the angle or length of the sticks to simulate walking.

I understand that it can be frustrating when you don't receive answers to your questions, but I'm glad you took the initiative to figure it out on your own. Keep experimenting and practicing, and I'm sure you'll be able to create some amazing walking stick figures! Best of luck with your project.
