Fun With Arctangent.


So I am working away on a new live wallpaper today, this one is going to be a sprite plotter I can top it out at 4000 plots with no slowdown. I am basing it off a simple math function many of you may recall from school. Its an arctangent operation. each time a sprite spawns at a random x/y it is run through an arctangent operation comparing it to the screen center, determining an angle. so its a bit of a take on an oldschool starfield, but instead of stars it is stuff. It will be fun to draw all sorts of funky little icons for it. Feel free to comment and suggest a name as the best 2 that have popped into my head are "Icon Blaster" or "Emoji Blaster" and neither of those are very good.
