I'm creating own Turtle app similar to python in Java. The angles taken in the instructions is in degrees. While drawing it, I have to use sin and cos which requires the angle to be in radians. So, I used Math.toRadians(theta).
My instructions are like:
moveTo(250, 250);
for (int i = 0; i < 60; i ) {
forward(100);
right(60);
}
I looped it for 60 times to check for errors. Here, I'm just making a hexagon and drawing over it again and again for 10 times, to check if the angles are working correctly. (If I find only one hexagon it means that the hexagon angles are working correctly, else there is some error)
Here is the image I got:
As you can see in the image, there is surely something fishy going in Math.toRadians() because after 6 rounds, it's not coming back to the same position.
Is there any way to solve this?
Image for one loop, here you can clearly see that its not making exactly 360 degrees
For those who want to see my code. (the question here is about why Math.toRadians() is not accurate. there is no issue with my code)
Here it is.

This may be the problem. As the coordinates get updated, continuous processing of previous coordinates can introduce floating point errors. Even if the math is sound. It's like making a copy of a copy. Here is an example. The triangle is rotated on its base. It's coordinates get updated over and over again and it starts to shrink due to the limitations of floating point math.

If this is the situation, for each move you either need to update the original coordinates to the new location, or translate the graphics context to the new location and just move the original figure relative to its new position. As I am not versed in nor setup for JavaFX I could not run your code.

You must account for the size of the pen when you update penX and penY by adding or subtracting penSize/2 1.
This will only work for odd pen sizes!
