how about making a big bitmap with a 1 pixel dot at the fixed point, and
the pendulum bob at the bottom on the radius. if the bob is radially
symmetrical, you should be able to rotate that whole thing about the
fixed point, and it will act like a pendulum. of course you'll have to
manage the speed of rotation to have it slow down and speed up when it
gets to the tops and the bottom of the arc...
just a thought...
