unit clock starter library ignores clock-wise=false

[flannery-denny]

I might be missing something, but I'm pretty sure that when we switch from clockwise to counter clockwise the blue curve for y-values should look identical, but the green curve for x-values should curve down toward negative values rather than up toward positive values.

If this will take a lot of work to fix, I would suggest just removing the counterclockwise feature since it's not clear to me how much it's adding.

Here's the starter file: https://code.pyret.org/editor#shareurl=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bootstrapworld/starter-files/fall2026/algebra-2/Unit%20Clock%20Starter%20File.arr

@schanzer While you're poking around in this starter file, could you make a function that would allow us to see radians on the curve?

The lesson plan mentioned it, but when I went to the starter-file to test it out it couldn't handle it (I understand why not so I've changed the wording and am making a note to teachers)... but maybe it could?

@flannery-denny Not sure I follow - what do you mean by "see radians on the curve"?

[flannery-denny]

@schanzer Here is what it now says in our lesson plan,

As with hours, degrees, and compass directions, switching our unit-clock graph from hours to radians wouldn’t change the curve of our graph at all. It would only change the tick marks on the x-axis.

This last thought is for thinking about, not for testing in the starter file, which isn’t set up to run in radians, so can’t handle π.

because when I read what was there before I went to the starter file and changed

# divide clock into "slices"
num-slices = 2 * PI 

# the number of evenly-spaced labels around the clock
num-labels = PI / 2

and got

@flannery-denny that error doesn't math the code change you're showing me here. Read the error carefully, and fix the code to make sure it runs. If you still don't like the way it looks we can discuss.

Where is this clock library file at? It no longer seems to be my original one, which did not take a clock-wise argument.

Note to @schanzer - see if we can have non-integer numbers of labels
