<![CDATA[Approaching orbit]]>Hi all,

I was wondering how some of you would approach a shape orbiting another.

I've explored using wave generators so far and have made some...progress.

Open re-entering the scene the orbit resumes a diagonal back and forth trajectory. If i reset the wave generator moving either axis this resumes a sort of orbit motion, however I have no actual control over it's path.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)

Cheers
Ed

It would probably run much faster since the native actors run as C++

Thanks for such a brilliant mini tutorial.

I'll be upgrading to Isi 2 in December. (Can't wait)

I'm really keen to try some java script so will definitely give this a try.
Cheers
Ed

so I added a page to my blog. http://www.dusxproductions.com/blog/javascript-based-orbits-in-isadora/
hope that helps  !! (**sorry**.. only just now noticed you have Isadora 1, this JS solution of for Isadora v2 )

I'm working with isi 1 still. Upgrade is a Christmas treat, so have included a print screen.

The trigger's on the stage background are a clear way of watching the path...thought it would help.

Cheers
Ed

Could you share the patch you have, so we do understand a bit better what you want and what you already have?

Best Michel
