So basically this is code for a project. I have the circles rotating how I’d like them to, I also have a point on the inner circle rotating how i’d like it to. The point’s x and y positions are being saved in an array after first becoming a vector. Later on in my show function i tried a for loop to draw a vertex at each x and y position. However it only draws a vertex at the current x and y point. Im very confused, been trying this for ages.

in this version  
[https://editor.p5js.org/kll/sketches/ngqEdx1IF](https://editor.p5js.org/kll/sketches/ngqEdx1IF)  
i try:

```auto
//curve.getX(px);
//curve.getY(py);|
curve.addPoint(px,py);

```

with:

```auto
  addPoint(x,y){
    this.current = createVector();
    this.current.x = x;
    this.current.y = y;
    this.path.push(this.current);
  }

```
