Hello everyone nice to be here. I am working through the wonderful tutorial by Joseph Thomson and Im stuck on the following exercise:
'Make a program that keeps drawing random size circles at random positions on the screen in random colors.'

So far I have the code listed below which gives me nice random colors, however, the circle is in the lower right hand corner. (Is my cursor position in the wrong place in the code?)
And Im not exactly sure how to set up the code so it will produce random size and position on the screen.

I appreciate assistance with a sample. Thanks!

People that are still in the "Newbie Slap" as we call it can't use the source box for their code. Always use code snips (even after you're out of the Newbie Slap).

[ code ]
Your code here.
[ /code ]

Just remove the spaces between the brackets and we see this:


The syntax for the circle command is "circle x coordinate, y coordinate, radius". If it's always in the lower right it's doing "circle 640,480,radius". Put the same command to pick a random number there "circle rnd(640),rnd(480),radius" or use variables.

Thank you for the sample and the clue in to the code snippet tags. And I reviewed your Pro-Noob Anti-Boob Justice League, very cool, and a extra Thank You for being Noob friendly.
