So, I created this project for fun but had a question. Basically, the game involves a circle that cycles through the color spectrum, and you can use the arrow keys to "draw" with the circle. Essentially I just have no App.clear() unless the user presses a certain key.
However, when the stuff actually renders out, the trails that were left behind by the circle seem to glitch back and forth, instead of staying still as I would prefer. Is there any easy way to fix this, or will it require reworking the way I render the trails?
Here's the source for those interested. You may have an error with the instructions font if you decide to compile it, so make sure to remove the text bits from the code first.
Thanks in advance!
