Oct 31, 2015 at 17:28 comment added Dennis as there is no winning criterion I would just do your best and see if anyone upvotes you That's not how catalogs work. If your challenge says the pixel must be purple, it must be purple. If you want exempt some languages from this rule, say so in the question.

Oct 30, 2015 at 10:58 comment added user9206 @ThomasKwa Yes it is!
Oct 30, 2015 at 10:44 comment added lirtosiast @Lembik If you mean by smooth that every pixel on the circle must be displayed, I need to change my answer again, since TI-BASIC doesn't have any means of getting fractional seconds. Is it acceptable for the program to terminate after a couple of years?

Oct 30, 2015 at 10:28 comment added user9206 @ThomasKwa Given that it has to do a full circle in 60 seconds and it has to be smooth, the frame rate should be fast enough to allow that.
Oct 30, 2015 at 10:27 comment added Franz D. @Lembik, you're a quick one :)
Oct 30, 2015 at 10:27 comment added user9206 @FranzD. Ideally it would be machine-independent but I won't be too fussy.
Oct 30, 2015 at 10:26 comment added Franz D. @Lembik: Is it OK if the time required for a full circle is 60 seconds on a particular machine, or does the timing have to be machine-independent?

Oct 29, 2015 at 21:28 comment added lirtosiast Is it at least 0.75x screen width, or exactly?

Oct 29, 2015 at 20:08 comment added user9206 @mbomb007 Yes you are right.
Oct 29, 2015 at 20:03 comment added mbomb007 I think you should've chosen black for the background so we could actually see the pixel more easily.
Oct 29, 2015 at 20:00 comment added user9206 @codebreaker I am not sure what you mean by blink. purple is the rule but as there is no winning criterion I would just do your best and see if anyone upvotes you :)
Oct 29, 2015 at 19:56 comment added codebreaker Can the pixel blink as it moves? Also curious whether purple is mandatory, I have an answer using TI-Basic and its monochrome screen.

Oct 29, 2015 at 16:56 comment added DLosc Another question. The QBasic screen mode I want to use is 320 wide by 200 tall. The biggest circle that fits on that screen will be slightly less than 0.75 of the width of the screen. Ok to use as long as it's more than 0.75 of the height of the screen?
Oct 29, 2015 at 16:39 answer added Peter Lenkefi timeline score: 14
Oct 29, 2015 at 16:16 comment added user9206 @DLosc Yes that will be fine. If you could include instructions for how to run qbasic code too that would be great.
Oct 29, 2015 at 16:14 comment added DLosc QBasic also has a limited set of colors. Is #8B008B (dark magenta, COLOR 5) close enough?
Oct 29, 2015 at 16:04 comment added user9206 @manatwork Good question. No that would be no good. It should be smooth animation. I don't want to define exactly what that means but it should certainly not skip pixels out on purpose.
Oct 29, 2015 at 15:56 comment added manatwork No restriction on move granularity? So a pixel jumping each 30 seconds to the diagonally opposite point on the circle would be valid?
Oct 29, 2015 at 15:45 comment added Timothy Groote I'm sure putting a purple cellofane over your screen does not add to your code size in bytes. i mean it worked vor the vectrex ;)

Oct 29, 2015 at 15:01 comment added user9206 @CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ The good news is that BBC BASIC can do color. bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcwin/manual/bbcwin3.html
Oct 29, 2015 at 14:53 comment added Conor O'Brien @TimothyGroote TI-BASIC has mainly only one color: black. Everything else is an off pixel. There are C(SE) calculators that have colors, but not everyone has one.

Oct 29, 2015 at 14:43 comment added Timothy Groote @Fatalize that doesn't mean you can't golf the color into the program in some clever creative way to save bytes.
Oct 29, 2015 at 14:42 comment added Fatalize Why should the pixel be purple? I would assume some languages like TI-Basic don't have color capabilities, which means they can't be used for the challenge for a pretty abitrary reason
Oct 29, 2015 at 14:40 comment added Martin Ender @TimothyGroote "The width of the circle should be 0.75 (rounding suitably) the width of the screen or window and the background should be white." (Although I'm not sure what window, since the animation should fill the entire screen.)
Oct 29, 2015 at 14:40 comment added Timothy Groote what radius should the circle be?
