As it’s very popular and always asked for, how about  
“who CODES the nicest clock, analog or digital” ?  
-date  
-dynamic textfield creation  
-drawing api  
…

Its totally possible 🙂

But of course that would involve drawing circles :hangover:

smth^2 = smth \* smth

I already have code for making a circle in Flash (thanks Sen :P) from a while back.

But if all of us just to standard circles for shapes of the watch, it would be kinda hard to tell whose entry is better because they will all be the same.

Not to mention the circular position of the numbers on the watch…

Im saying… to create different looking entries, they must all look different, meaning we can’t just use basic shapes, we will need to be creative in the design of it, and if you have every used the drawing API, you may know that it is not as easy to use as the the actual drawing tools in Flash.

i know, but it’s fun!

sample:

```auto

_x = Stage.width/2;
_y = Stage.height/2;
function flower(trg, i, k) {
	var mc = trg.createEmptyMovieClip("kwiat"+i, -i);
	mc.beginFill(0x330066) and mc.curveTo(k*3, 0, k*3, k*3) and mc.curveTo(0, k*3, 0, 0) and mc.endFill();
	mc.beginFill(0xCC9900) and mc.curveTo(k*2.8, 0, k*2.8, k*2.8) and mc.curveTo(0, k*2.8, 0, 0) and mc.endFill();
	mc._rotation = _root.j*60;
}
for (j=2; j<70; j++) flower(_root, j, j);
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
	_rotation -= 1;
}

```

just a sample (i’m learning 4 3 days now…)

Ok, well we kinda got off topic here (my fault, sorry)

Is this what we are doing? If so, when is the due date and what is the canvas size we will be working on?
