Resizing a triangle. Why is my code not working?
Hello,
I'm trying to create an equilateral triangle that can be resized and rotated at the press of a button. To do so, I define the coordinates of the 3 points in the polar coordinate system, such that their angles from the origin are separated by 120 degrees each and that their lenght is r. In theory, whenever r is incremented, the triangle does too while remaining equilateral and the same for when it is decremented.
My code does produce an equilateral triangle but pressing PAGEUP/PAGEDOWN (which increments/decrements r ) does not seem to do anything. The same goes for rotating the triangle. I've used similar syntax to move the square using the arrow keys and change the colors of all objects with the space key so I'm stomped. I have no idea why it's not working.
I took the liberty to comment out irrelevant code and to bold the relevant parts. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
Gozulin
