AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around programming concepts and functions, particularly focusing on the evolution of graphical programming techniques. A notable mention is the function spinthewheel(), which was used in earlier implementations, such as voxel space in Pascal around 1992. It has since been replaced by the more versatile rotate_ellipse(int dimensions, float[] angles(float time)), indicating a shift towards more complex and adaptable programming methods. The conversation also touches on beginner programming questions, highlighting the ongoing learning journey in the programming community.

man spinthewheel seems the most complete :wink:

1992... its about the time I was implementing voxel space in Pascal.
 
IIRC spinthewheel() has been superseded by the more general rotate_ellipse(int dimensions, float[] angles(float time))
 

Thread 'Status Update by JRMichler'

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
