@jo Thank you very much for the help! I think I don't really know how the translate function works, I'll take a look on it later, by the way, you solved my problem, the only thing that never worked is the font outside the loop, I don't know why. Thanks!!!

Hi, I’m playing with variable fonts and images, I have two questions, how can I use just some characters, and which could be a better way to write the code, because it takes so long to render the gif and it always appears a firs blank page. Thank you all!

@gferreira wow, this is huge!!! thank you again

@gferreira it worked, thanks a lot, I want to know if there’s a way to control the speed of the animation?.

def drawShape(step):
   
    jumpinValue = 0
    thickness = 3
    
    fill(None)
    strokeWidth(thickness)
    stroke(0)
    fill(None)
    
    translate(0, 0)

    for i in range(step):
        oval((width()/2) - (jumpinValue*3), (height()/2)-(jumpinValue*3), 10+(jumpinValue*4), 10+(jumpinValue*4))
        translate(thickness, thickness)
        jumpinValue += thickness

# create pages/frames
for i in range(150):
    newPage(1000, 1000)
    fill(1)
    rect(0, 0, 1000, 1000)
    drawShape(i+1)
    

# save animation
saveImage('~/Desktop/radial.mp4')

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a way to create a radial animation, I’m trying it with the following code:

thickness = 10
isOval = True
limit = height()

isBlack = True
jumpinValue = 0

while jumpinValue < limit*1.3:

    fill(None)
    strokeWidth(thickness)
    
    if isBlack is True:
        stroke(0)
    else:
        stroke(1)
        
    if isOval is True:
        oval((width()/2)-(jumpinValue/2), (height()/2)-(jumpinValue/2), jumpinValue, jumpinValue)
    else:
        rect((width()/2)-(jumpinValue/2), (height()/2)-(jumpinValue/2), jumpinValue, jumpinValue)
        
    newPage(1000, 1000)
    
    isBlack = not isBlack
    jumpinValue += thickness

What I want to make is to keep the circles while new circles appear and then make the radial animation.

Thanks for your help.

@gferreira thanks, it worked, I'm coming with some new exercises. Cheers.

This is totally better @gferreira you’re really kind, thank you. I’ve tried the following code and it’s exactly what I needed, I was just wondering if there is a way to make it with less code, I’ve noticed that you have better results in less lines and that’s really nice. Thanks again.

Thanks again @gferreira it worked better that way now I'm trying to make a list of random objects and names, but I don't want them to be repeated, do you know if there's a similar way to match the pairs without repetition ?

Here’s the code:

#Canvas Size

    newPage(w, h)
    fill(1)
    rect(0, 0, w, h)

    newPage(w, h)
    fill(0)
    rect(0, 0, w, h)

def objects(tCol):
    objLuck = randint(0, 3)
    objTxt = "My object is: "
    
    if objLuck == 1:
        txt = objTxt + "Fish"
        
    elif objLuck == 2:
        txt = objTxt + "Bullet"

    else:
        txt = objTxt + "Glass"
    
    fontSize(56)  
    fill(tCol)     
    text(txt, (width()/2, 500), align ='center')

def students(tCol):
    stdLuck = randint(0, 3)
    stdTxt = "I am "
    
    if stdLuck == 1:
        txt = stdTxt + "Pedro"
        
    elif stdLuck == 2:
        txt = stdTxt + "Caro"

    else:
        txt = stdTxt + "Raúl"
    
    fontSize(56) 
    fill(tCol)      
    text(txt, (width()/2, 400), align ='center')

def pairs():
    Luck = randint(0, 1)
    if Luck == 0:
        whiteCanvas()
        students(0)
        objects(0)
    else:
        blackCanvas()
        students(1)
        objects(1)
        
for i in range(3):
    pairs()

Thank you very much

Hello everyone:

I've been trying to find a way to use the output text as drawn text, but I'm not really winning the battle, so I finished copying the text, here is my code:

#Set today's time
day = 29
month = 8
year = 2019

date = '%02d/%02d/%04d' % (day, month, year)
print("Today is " + str(date))

#Birthday function
def birthDay(name, bDay, bMonth, bYear):
    
    bDate = '%02d/%02d/%04d' % (bDay, bMonth, bYear)
    
    if month >= bMonth and day >= bDay:
        age = year - bYear
        print("I am " + name + " and I have " + str(age) + " years." + " My birthday is " + str(bDate))
    else:
        age2 = year - bYear -1
        print("I am " + name + " and I have " + str(age2) + " years." + " My birthday is " + str(bDate))

#Examples        
size(1000, 1000)

birthDay("L", 4, 9, 1992)
birthDay("P", 21, 1, 1993)
birthDay("E", 15, 9, 1971)
birthDay("J", 22, 3, 1961)

txt = """Today is 29/08/2019

I am L and I have 26 years. My birthday is 04/09/1992

I am P and I have 26 years. My birthday is 21/01/1993

I am E and I have 47 years. My birthday is 15/09/1971

I am J and I have 58 years. My birthday is 22/03/1961"""
