Converting Standard For Loop to Mathematica Code for 2D Iteration?

[rhythmiccycle]

here is the pseudo java (processing) code I'm trying to run

float x0,y0,x,y,t;

x0 = 2; //arbitrary value
y0 = 5; //arbitrary value

x = x0;
y = y0;

for(int t = 1; t <= 100; t++){   //one hundred iterations
    t =atan2(y,x);
    x += cos(t);
    y += sin(t);

    print( x, y)

}

I'm trying to run something more complex than this, but the code above shows the main point where I can't convert standard "for loop" programming to mathemitica.


please help me write an equivalent code in mathematica.

Note/Warning: read

for information on the order of arguments in ArcTan to tell
whether you need ArcTan[x,y] or ArcTan[y,x].

x0 = 2;
y0 = 5;
x = x0;
y = y0;
For[t = 1, t <= 100, t++,
t = ArcTan[y,x];
x += Cos[t];
y += Sin[t];
Print[ x," ",y];
