Great game!
For me, the issue is this: the direction that you drag when you're doing your first anchor point is the opposite of the direction that it should be. You're dragging away from the direction you want it to curve, rather than towards it. But for every anchor point other than the first one, you're dragging towards it.
- duopixel 12y agoAuthor here. That's the way Adobe Illustrator thinks Bézier curves should work, unfortunately. I have no idea why,I chose to follow their lead because the purpose is learning how to use a tool. Still on the fence on this one, I even had to go out of my way to implement it.

- hamburglar 12y agoNo, for the first point, you are doing it exactly the opposite of the way Illustrator does it. In Illustrator, you click for your starting point, and you drag in the direction you want the curve to go. In yours, you click for your starting point, and drag in the opposite direction.
- egypturnash 12y agoIf your copy of Illustrator does that with its curves then something is direly wrong with it. I've used it since 2000 and it's never done that.
