I'm making pong. And to make the ball (i couldn't find a elipse command that fills the ball) i made 5 concentric hollow elipses that get tinyer and tinyer until the last one is a dot. and I do that every frame, and it's slow now. (not too slow, but still)

This isn't very important, but out of curiousity, can i make it faster somehow??

thanks.

Are you trying to make the ball a filled in colour eg. the whole ball is green?

I guess everybody will tell you to use sprites instead.

You could use a memblock to make an image and then paste that image to screen if you insist on doing it using code. Or you could use paint....

My signature has been erased by me because it's LARGE.
Thank you for the votez!1!

Do not doubt it, they are faster in most situations.
But if you still want to try the elipses, add:



It should go faster than before.
