Hola Daniel,

Can you please help me decipher this.=20

These MicroMundos procedures make a marvelously smooth and convincing =
depiction of an object in eliptical orbit, coming right at you, rounding =
in front of you, and then retreating. =20

They are from the Spanish language teacher submittals at the LCSI site =
Shawn referred me to, =
http://www.microworlds.com/library/contribution/teacher_index.html.  The =
program is "Orbita" by Maria Protuguez.

I am unable to distiguinsh MicroMundos primitives from variable names.  =
There are neither leading quotes nor dots (except for the variable =
:radio (radius?) fed to the procedure Tierra.  I have no idea what ffig, =
espera, porsiempre, ad, de, at, lanza, rumbo, ftamano, tamano, or siotro =
mean.  Are all of these MicroMundos primitives?  If so, what are there =
MicroWorlds counterparts?


Para mover
 t1, repite 5[ffig 7 espera 2 ffig 8 espera 2 ffig 9 espera 2 ffig 10 =
espera 2 ffig 11 espera 2]
fin

Para |=D3rbita Tierra|
 det=E9n [mover]
 t1, porsiempre [ad 1 de 1 at 1]
 t2, ffig 18 lanza [Tierra 85]  =20
fin

Para Tierra :radio   ; Para ejemplificar una =D3rbita El=EDptica.
 ad 2 * PI * :radio / 360 =20
 de 1=20
 si y ( rumbo > 180 )( rumbo < 270 ) [ ftama=F1o tama=F1o + 1]
 si y ( rumbo > 270 )( rumbo < 360 ) [ftama=F1o tama=F1o - 1 ]
 siotro y ( rumbo > 15 )( rumbo < 165 )[ et ][ mt ]
 Tierra :radio
fin


Muchos gracias,
Jeff
