Draw a curved line using only straight lines

[sas2744]

OHHHH I know how to do this with a ruler its wicked!

[dwallick77]

I did this in the womb

[later6]

I there any technical term for this?

[RCT3rox]

112 people can't make a square with lines

[frenchmilkshakes88]

my 4th grade teacher made me do this... =D

[cosg9531]

You are not "drawing" a curve using straight lines. You are forming a composite, which is the result of arranging straight lines of gradually increasing lengths. Old childhood game. It was trite a century ago.

[Alecs4cwalk]

I learned it playing SA:MP stunt mode :D

[Westcliff09]

I learned this while playing Linerider

[dantheman3607]

@Westcliff09 YES

[HMS4399]

I learned this in 3rd grade

[Tzimnewman3]

@HMS4399 I learned this in 0 Grade

[djkeloke]

I learned this in grade 6

[BrObiWanKenobi365]

i learned this in 5th grade. we had to stitch these onto paper. you can make pretty cool designs using this.

[simonrudduck]

Yep, time for some porn...

[bloodyweeks97]

it's the new 3D !

[usikd]

okaay .. this is a nerdy question : but how do i find the function of the resulting curve ?

[superaxel14]

borrring



[Miister00]

linerider faps to this...

[purxxox]

lol line rider

[Boxtop51Returns]

chuck norris can make that with just one line

[reignofcows]

OMNOMNOMNOMNOM i ate it

[jerfimuzumaki]

did you learn this playing line rider?



[BlueberryButts]

REMEMBER KIDS, NEVER DRINK AND DERIVE.

DOHOHOHOHOHOHOH CALCULUS JOKE.

[imnotstpid]

you know, its not really a curve is it? its a lot of straight lines.

[mellowords]

@imnotstpid LOL

think theoretically? They are the same!

[mindsnare1982]

@imnotstpid So is everything on a computer screen.

[imnotstpid]

@mindsnare1982 yeah. i was also thinking. circles that have been machined out from a computer, do they have curved edges or lots of straight lines?

[chickenpoper]

@imnotstpid The intersections form together to make one curved line allusion.

[Fabio11234]

what is the name of this method?

[ThaoHo987]

We did this in 6th grade

[hunster990]

we did this in school :P

[JHRS6]

The base lines are the only straight lines in this... all other lines are slanted (or curved)

[monkey15iv]

it looks amazing, thnks.

[Dxthegod]

And thus, Line Rider was born!

[vampiregirl777nl]

FUCK IT! imma just draw a curved line......

[blizzard987654321]

Everyone knows

[xXxDANMANxXx]

LINE RIDER!!!!!!!

[fishbones99]

@xXxDANMANxXx i was thinking the same thing haha

[TheCbTown]

That was mind-blowing xl

[ham10444]

woot exponental

[MadCowGoM00]

congratu-fucking-lations, i went to 4th grade too.

[hottse]

nice illusion

[MegaReaper96]

thats clever-well done

[HAIRVIDEO]

Pretty cool actually imo, nice work man

[Kittie10001]

It's called a Parabola people.. It's done in Art classes, Math Classes, or really any classes that the teacher want's you to kill yourself in..

[markothevrba]

wichcraft!

[TheKarinish]

we had to do that in school once, but we made a star (that x4) and we ha to color all the little squares in it :(

[stickcreator100]

i sometimes use this in line riders lol

[Double0eleven]

i can draw a straight line using only curved lines

[Herolatt24]

@Double0eleven NO DUHH

[brendan0153]

ive done that when i was 7

[ubergamer999]

@brendan0153 lol same. it was in my maths book ROFL

[omgitschewbacca]

LOL i always do this at the corner of my textbook when i'm bored at school.

[brendan0153]

@omgitschewbacca lol cool :D

[graddivcurl]

can you possibly do something similar with curved lines to make even better bodies?

[woahdudecalmdown]

why would u ever need to do this? :S

[Vindaver2469]

@woahdudecalmdown Everything has a purpose its just u need to find it first :)

[MagicSkillz100]

i kno that, u stole my trick u ginger cunt!

[mwcafac91]

I miss line rider :/

[ninjagaiden19]

if deltay/deltax is smaller u can get a better curve(almost perfect)

[earlrivera01]

amazing,,,,

[jarodjenkins]

wow. some asian kid did this in 2nd grade and i've been unsucsessfully trying to recreate it off and on for 13 years. and i'm a flippin animation major.

[MultiDancer12345]

dude that is lame

[EchofinderDJ]

PUTA CAN I HAVE YOUR SERVICE?

[pekadefa]

I did this for an art project....i used string :p

[beebumm]

@pekadefa Yep, me too.

[XxBEBANxX]

ok people it like a roller coaster the bars under it are straight then it eventualy makes a cure...jk it just L(.)(.)ks COOL

[Plavie22]

☻

[JoeBot1234567890]

its not curved its just lots of stright lines

[XxXCutefulXxX]

I remember i learned this like 6 years ago.

[LowTemperatures]

Linerider btw? :)

[lalagumabear]

☻

[stupitlovey]

signed in over 3 yrs ago, and he only have one vid. LOL

[poilkjmn1]

nice

[CRUSHERVTANK]

wow awsome

[cooldude12345y]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET

[yawtube111]

lol this guy LAST signed in over 3!!! years ago....i think hes gone so stop complaining lol your just talking to thin air

[Thefunnyguy1294]

Wow I did this when I wa in third grade.. I think almost everybody knows this

[jaygrl21]

i already know how to do that. we did this in school in 6th grade. wow....nice video.....

[iRsemple]

i thought they were all gunna be perpendicular lines... but they weren't.. and i was dissapointed ☻

[supravista]

this concept can be extended to make curved surfaces such as the hyperbolic paraboloid

[mta24074]

u suck dodo

[DoubleXStudios]

@badman ur comebacks are terrible and ur only making urself look stupider by the second

[ekh8er]

if i may..... this just explains why tangents equal slope.

[supravista]

@ekh8er indeed it does

[katie97hudgens]

Anyone could really do that

[petrocknation]

in english please?

[LedKenji666]

dude no one cares.

[LedKenji666]

idk i didnt read

[0omatthewo0]

i do this in math cass when i was 10 or something

[Bracia12345]

It's Called A Parabolic Curve

[elviacaballero]

yo llevo esa materia en mi escuela y se llama DIBUJO TECNICO eso no tiene nada de impresionante

[xXSpazzyWantsAHugXx]

ive done this before in math. it was kewl. We also did one with like 6 lines. o.o it was kewl

[katie97hudgens]

Woe thats amazing!!! :)

[tanglewest]

That's weird.....o.o

[phillywigs]

thats so sick!

[AnimalLover4100]

wow i just wasted 65 secs of my life

YOU OWE ME 65 SECS BACK!

[badman468]

he dont owe u shit, your stupid enough to watch it even when u knew what it was about, dont be a dumb ass.

[AnimalLover4100]

@badman468 shut the f*** up u bitch

[badman468]

@AnimalLover4100 na, how about you? Your mad cause u know im right.

[AnimalLover4100]

@badman468 no i'm mad because ur a bitch

[sasquash05]

nice, looks like a bended plane

[satrlanl]

Ok, multi-straight-line-sided object ;)

[satrlanl]

Not too hard. In theory you could have an infinite number of lines and it would still be approx. 1/4 of a polygon, or multi-straight-lined object. Moreover it's an optical illusion because the lines indeed have x pixels of width and the brain just naturally assumes it's round because it's never seen a zillion-sided polygon.

[Sccar3]

i do this all the time in line rider!

[AmZeR5]

that is bad ass like... lol

[4NDY0WNZ]

clever

[claytonetripp]

thANKS .. VERY COOL ..

YOUR MAKING MY INNER GEEK HAPPY

[Digiscat]

1:02 pause

looks like a grid you use when creating games terrain ect but curved xP

[meterotronic]

I cant believe that i think this is cool....

[AlmoshT]

line rider..

[johnlloydg318]

thay ar diagnle man

[Epidemicism]

So? He never said they were parallel...

[RyanAndKurt]

nice man good job =)

[nintendork54321]

not perfict but its prety good

p.s. me rate 5 *'s

[opahan666]

it is not curved

[GXlighter]

u can never really draw a curved line with straight with straight lines

[MutatoR79]

I use this more then 15 years.

[IJMacD]

The principle of differenciaton.

[ucenigma]

And I thought I was bored...

[4528brix]

Wow Man Good Job Any Ways

[unrescued]

I used to draw these in school. It is a million times cooler when you continue and draw each corner, and then draw another one of these at 45 degrees.

[I360FlipStuff]

Ok... it LOOKS curved but it's not a perfect curve...

[3jawsome]

i can do that

[Garrosh]

Are you making the graph of the interest in this video?

[ThePSNetWorkers]

I love the way you get thumbed down for a genuinely witty joke. Youtube ftw, lol.

[Bjornplanken]

It would've been nice if you'd used a Grid... then it would be a proper curve;)

[AplusStudent78]

those are diagonal :P

[RockBand2Freak78]

ya but their not curvey

[daskiai]

Are you feeling accomplished because you did something that is obvious?

[godtheonyt]

I did this in algebra class. You need to do it in every single degree or else there r real small straight lines hence - not making it curved.

[CoreySk8er]

linerider. haha

[viscorst]

if you do that on four courners of a x-axis y-axis you will make a star

[TheMisLovely]

Its cool but nothing special.

[nicholas8795]

i did this in art class =D

[nyhmslave]

actualy you can't. becouse we do not live in ''perfect'' world... so even best machine can't draw a perfect curved line. and looking forward to discover america!

[andr00123]

exactly nyhmslave, go on MS paint, use the circle function draw it, zoom in 8x and you will see they are just tiny pixles that create an effect of a circle.

[spatzist]

@nyhmslave Technically the world is perfect - just not mathematically ideal. =P

[gigioneumatica]

nice. congratulations! you discovered that with infinite straight lines you can draw a curved line!

but hey! i think i saw it sometime in the primary school but i think is too advanced for studying it at primary school, dont you think?

let see if you can discover america. some people says that it's on the west.

[SacaSkeetLecheSkeet]

@gigioneumatica ur cool...tool. ily ♥ x]

[DaAznJesse]

i did this in compsci XD

[globaltraveler13]

I did this in Algebra 1.

[wolfrider101]

we did this in alg 2 back in high school. we made some pretty funky shapes.

[viva0la0utube]

cooooooool!!

[rytoof]

kinda looked like a 3d grid

[Xiled1]

lol they thought me this in art class... cool lol

[PianoGirl555]

cooooool :)

[link5368141]

cross stitching

[choztalimksadikX]

its so magic !! ... hum i mean... boring lost of time...

[lightshaymin]

smart

[carada1993]

whats the name of this drawing again ?

i know that they have some type of name lol

[0rder345]

this makes me wanna play linerider

[Kossrifle]

cool, it even gives you a 3d tile effect

[mancubius]

nice :D

[11moonelf]

Fun! I remember drawing like this in elementary school. We also had those kits at home, a collection of flat, plastic circles - all different sizes & colors. With 'teeth' around the outside and a hole in the middle for the pen.

[Killabeez699]

thats pretty cool i guess

[starwarsfan17]

lol i had to do a project of this for geometery xl lol

[CRAZFOLK]

well obviously.... but all curved lines r made of smallsmallsmall straiight lines! or dots..

[straightuptippin]

lol ethan dont be a nerd... just watch the vid and move on with your life...

[abc10thousands]

think i dont know a?

u can draw by ur ruler also~

[xXEthanSXx]

Technically, it isn't a curved line. It only appears so with this degree of smoothing. If we were to zoom in much further, we would not see a curved line.

[fredjustsucks]

You are most certainly right. And the more lines you use, the closer the curved line will be to perfection.

[Crazy4boys21]

i did this in school as an art project but we made it into a star

[hihannahmover456]

yes you can tell if the video is a scremer, Leogriffen is right. this video is NOT a screamer

[ARUNUPPAL]

ɥsıqqnɹ

[usnbernd]

what a miracle.

[lbfamguy]

thats SICK!

[DMLU7]

i bet you think your so smart with this.

was done in school by myself and many others.

[Leogriffen]

ohhh thats such a challenge. i bet your the only person who ever did that. that was sarcastic btw

[peanutninjas]

get over it dude, he never said it was amazing or anything, atleast its more interesting than half the stuff on youtube

[Leogriffen]

i wouldn't say half. more like an eighth. and if its not "amazing or anything" his comments won't be.

[peanutninjas]

meh u have to admit theres alot of crap on this, id say a good bit of everything on this is a rickroll

[Leogriffen]

rickrolls are hilarious. but they get annoying after a while

[peanutninjas]

especially when i get 3 in a row looking for assassins creed 2 things or looking for random stuff, i hate screamers D:

[Leogriffen]

you can easily tell if a video is a scremer, if it is A: 1-10 seconds long, or short for something you were expecting, B: pause, mute and scroll to the end and see if there is a scary face, and C: most of the time people talk about it being a screamer in comments, or if it has a 1 or 2/5 star rating

[peanutninjas]

i dnt read until after :)

[NayokeHenji]

Anyone ever play linerider? Lol

[RunescapeGoodGuides]

ye lol, i know it from line rider 2:p

[drummermzl]

wow. I did this in grade school math. AMAZING! 0_0 lol. xD
