Meh. My entry doesn't deserve any special mention, really. In order to cram it into three lines, I had to remove a lot of clarity. I'd never actually write it like that for a porgram.
The idea for using a loop and a IF THEN ELSE IF ... ELSE line isn't even mine. I first came across it in the screensaver challenges, I think. Might have been Relsoft's, or somebody else's idea.
Basically, the first few solutions all do exactly the same thing.. calculate X and Y based on trig functions from an angle converted to radians, then PSET at (x,y). I'm not sure what Neo's does, but it looks like he's using the formula for a circle to plot the points instead of SIN and COS.
*peace*
