It truly helps me out.Playing Minecraft, I like making circular things. I used a chart while I was building, but wanted to be able to make variable size ovals which is something I couldn't find a decent chart of or generator capable of, so I created this!
Make Pixel Art was created by X O X C O in Austin, TX. Many thanks to all of our many beta testers.

I am developing a shape builder for the computercraft mod. A few users have mentioned that smaller circles don't look circular, and I agree. Your circles are way better, but I have no experience (other than a node.js hello world) in javascript programming and I can't figure out how your code is figuring out what blocks are in the circle and which aren't. Could you explain in just simple math, or pseudocode? For example the code we use goes block by block in the bounding area.
On each block it uses the pythagorean theorem to find distance to the center of that block to the center of the circle, if the distance is in the range radius-(radius+sqrt(3)) it places a block there. I would like to see if I could optimise my method with bits from yours, but like I said, I don't know javascript well enough to interpret.
And by the way, I like your program the best out of all of the generators out there, smoothest performance and best looking final results.BTW Happy one year:). If you want to save the result to an image there is a way. If you look at the page source or use your browser's 'inspect element' on the result, you'll see and svg tag. From there copy the source to the closing svg tag, including the svg tags Then you can take that and paste it into notepad and save as an SVG file, then you can open it in GIMP or some other software that supports SVG files. I have been using this for a long time now, and it's been a great help in my builds. A great feature would be if you could only view a 1/4 of the circle if it's a circle or 1/2 if it's an oval as when I'm building circles with a diameter of over 500 I have to zoom in all the way on the scale factor, and then zoom in on the web page just to see the pattern.But this is amazing, especially useful for the build of Thriller Bark I made, which if I was sane would have been a lot smaller but hey, I wanted it to be to scale so the diameter of the outer walls reached 575. Having a few issues with this program.
Trying to create a sphere to encapsulate the spawnable area for hostile mobs (wiki: 128 radius from player). So I doubled the radius to 256 then generate a sphere based on that. Before I started I plotted out 6 points all starting out from the 0/0 axis in the end (which I removed all end stone). Markers were placed exactly 128 bocks up, down, left and right so it covers all X/Y/Z directions. When building the sphere I noticed that the 2D sides did not meet up with my (triple checked) reference points mentioned above. The sphere generated by this program seemed too big ( by quite a sizeable margin I might add). Thinking it was my error I recounted the chart.three times.rebuilt.three times.but still no joy.
This is a great generator to make spheres.not denying that.but for really technical mapping it's fairly inaccurate in 'true to size' builds. Sorry to rain on your parade but thinking I might add this footnote for other builders like myself thus saving them time. But hey.if your just after a good looking sphere this is the program for you.
Pixel art is a type of digital art where artists specify the location of individual pixels, and uses these to build up a bigger design.
