:smacks-head: Of course, why didn't I understand that when I first saw your initial post? Laugh | :laugh: Poke tongue | ;-P

Well, judging from your images, they're simply 10x10 blocks, with (the right-hand) 1/2 filled with characters. If you were to assume the windows co-ord system (the one your using when outputting to the console), where by (0,0) is at the top left of the screen, with (width-1, height-1) being at the bottom right you could view the problem like so:

Image 1: draw line from (0,0) to (9,9) - fill in any pixels to the right of this line up to X=9
Image 2: draw line from (9,0) to (0,0) - fill in any pixels to the right of this line up to X=9

You need to animate between the two.

---

(1) Since the block is 10 stars wide, you'll need 10 frames
(2) The middle frame would be - draw line from (4,0) to (4,9) - a vertical line.

Hmm perhaps we could run a 10 iter loop -
iterNum = 0 .. 9
    x1 = iterNum
    y1 = 0
    x2 = 9-iterNum
    y2 = 9
    FillBetweenAndToRightOf(x1,y2, x2,y2)
endLoop



You'll obviously have to come up with the FillBetweenAndToRightOf function yourself.

Your above tricks won't work when it comes to determining how many spaces to print before you start printing * characters, this time you'll need to calculate the gradient of the line
Recall that gradient = rise/run.
For img1, your X pos varies by 10(from 0-9), as the Y pos changes by 10(from 0-9). Therefore the gradient is 10/10 = 1.

You can then multiply the gradient by the Y pos, add this to X1 to find the first * character on the line. E.g row 4 (0 based) 4*1 + 0 = 4.

For img2, your X pos varies by -10 as the Y pos changes by 10. This time the gradient is -10/10 = -1
E.g row 4 (0 based) 4*-1 + 9 = 5.


Simply draw the figure 10 times with changing values of x1 and x2, using the above formulas to calculate where to start and how many stars to draw on each line.
