The script creates a horizontal line at $y=1$ and a green circle defined by points $C$ and $P$. A glider $B$ moves along the circle and is connected to $C$ with a segment. The circle then rolls along the line, generating a roulette curve while point $P$ traces its path. **AI generated desctiption**
