Why not use the circle command?



Centrex#,y#)
Radius: radius#
Add a step value less than one to get more precision when drawing big circles. (for i#=0 to 360 step 0.1) Use hashes when using step values otherwise it screws up.

Add coefficients in there to change the ovalness of the circle, e.g.
dot x#+(2*radius#*cos(i#)),y#+(radius#*sin(i#))
will produce a flatter oval.

Centre didn't come into the code, I was just stating that the centre was at (x#,y#) where y# is measured from the top of the screen. x# and y# are just added to the position of the dot. It may have crashed if you didn't put hashes in, it crashed something rotten when I didn't. I can't see anything in the code snippet which might crash however. Just add a suspend for key, or wait 2000 in or something to the end of that code and it should work.
