Hi, i am trying to draw polygons.The problem is i cannot get the the last side drawn to meet up with the first drawn, why?

+ Code Snippet

#include "DarkGDK.h" 

void DarkGDK ( void )
{ 
	int sides=8;
	
	int startx=50;
	int starty=300;
	int x=50;
	int y=250;
	float intangle=((180*sides)-360)/sides ;
	float exangle=180-intangle;
	dbSyncOn ();

	while (LoopGDK ( ) )
 {
for (int l=0;l<sides;l++)
	{
		dbText(10,10,"hello");
		

		
		x = startx + (dbCOS(l*exangle) * 40);
		y = starty + (dbSIN(l*exangle) * 40);
		dbLine(startx,starty,x,y);
		startx=x;
		starty=y;
		
		
	}
	startx=50;
	starty=300;
	x=50;
	y=250;
	
	dbSync ( );

 }
}

Not entirely sure but I believe if you change the l<sides to read l<=sides that should do the trick for you

Or you could keep track of the first point drawn and do an implicit dbline() from the current point to the first point just outside of the loop.
