PLAY RING TRACKS

You can play ring tracks and courses created by others. See Ring Tracks for details on ring tracks and courses in general.

1. SPIRAL BASIC TRAINING
   The tracks in the Spiral Basic Training get increasingly more complicated. Try guessing the parametric equations necessary to complete each track in this course.
   1. Set up the Course
   1. Under the Gallery tab, open Other People, then Samples, and then Ring Courses.
   2. Now double-click on Spiral Basic Training. The first track, Straight Move, will be set up in the display area.

   1. Guess the Math Move
   1. Navigate around the world so you get a good look at the ring arrangement.
   2. Try using the Axes option under the Environment menu. Axes are only available with First Person view.
   3. Now enter in an equation that you think will go through all the rings in this first Spiral Basic Training track.
   4. Look at the Feedback Area to see if you got it correct. If you missed some rings, keep trying equations until you guess the right one.
   2. Try the Next Track
   1. Once you have guessed the first move correctly, try the next track. Click the right arrow at the bottom of the Move tab to set up the rings.
   2. Try to guess the equations for this set of rings.
   3. After you have figured out the equation for each track in the course, click the arrow to move on to the next.
   4. They build on each other so none of the equations will be very different.
   5. Hint: You may have to use some multiplication.
