- If the applet is showing, all you would
see is a blank white box. Click anywhere inside this box to begin.
- You should see a horizontal line. Hit 5 on your number pad
(on the right of the keyboard) to change this to a
vertical bar). From now on, you will be using the number
pad to draw on this screen.
- Type 8 to go up, 4 to go left, 6 to
go right, and 2 to go down. Similarly, 7,
9,1, and 3 each allow diagonal
movement.
- At any time, click on the canvas at another point to
continue sketching in another part of the canvas.
- At any time, hit 0 on the number pad to see how "long"
your sketch would be if it were made into a race track.
- Use "Delete" to clear the whole canvas.
- Know that this program was created to draw the outlines of
some ideal auto racing tracks. What track can you create?
