Hello guys Im working on this project were I have to make the shape of my inicials "HIP" then make the letter H rotate on its center against the clock + make it rotate clock wise around the letter "I". I also have to make the letter "P" move up and down. The letter "I" stay fit on its location. I could make the "H' rotate on its center and around the letter "I" but not at the same time. I also could move the letter "P" up or down but I dont know how to make it doit on it self with the timer. I welcome you to help me on this one thanks in advance. Here is the code and a attach file so you could have a peek.

Const hsize = 13
Const isize = 12
Const psize = 6
Const rotAngle = -0.04
Const rotAngle2 = 0.04
Const desplazamineto = 10

From your code i am not sure what are you trying to do .
And where is the letter P ?

From your code i am not sure what are you trying to do .
And where is the letter P ?

I made some changes to the code here is the new one. I still have the same problem. The values of the letter P are in betwen line 118 to 123. The codes that draws the leter P is in betwen line 43 to 48. Im trying to make the letter H rotate around the letter I just like the moon rotates around the earth and its self. I also want the letter P to move up and down.

Is that some sort of an assignment for you . Why not use some multimedia tool for all that.

Yes it is and I must use VB6 for it.
