Hello guys,

Me and a friend are developing a small android game where you have to protect a hamburger for an enemy.
We need ideas to place the coins in our levels. We don't know what kind of pattern will be more fun or effective for the player.
You need the coins to unlock more items.

You can use sin,cos and tan to place coins in a pattern.

The patterns made by these functions are pleasing to the human mind, mostly because thy are familiar even to those who don't use maths in a day to day bases.

try changing the collectibles to something more related to the game's theme.
