Oramac Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 2 hours ago, buckswrath said: The graphics library i'm using uses a unit circle that is different than the unit circle that all trigonometric functions use, in order to orient objects on the screen. A normal unit circle is setup with 0° in the positive X direction, 90° in the positive Y direction, 180° in the negative X direction, and 270° in the negative Y direction. Their circle is rotated 90° counter-clockwise, and flipped over the Y axis. This combined with the fact that most computers consider the positive Y to go down the screen makes 0° point in the negative Y direction, 90° in the positive X direction, 180° in the positive Y direction, and 270° in the negative X direction. The fix turned out to be taking the angle from the graphics library multiplying it by -1 and adding 360° to get the angle on the standard unit circle. Since the program window has a flipped y-axis, I had to take the converted angle and plug it into the negative sine function and negative cosine function to get the X and Y, respectively. Then, I could take the X and Y and use it to modify the direction of my object. I haven't got a clue why the maintainers of the graphics library couldn't set up a unit circle correctly. Oh well. 1 Quote "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment
Kishi Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 So what you're saying, with regard to the circle, is that you had to pull a Willy Wonka - "Switch that, reverse it!" - and that to get it to play nicely with the code that you already had in place. Which, assuming I understand you, is way more than I know how to do. Assuming I don't understand, well, the point is all the more pertinent. So it sounds like the big project is a game?

I really just wanted to complain about the fact that I had to calculate that at all. Yeah the CS class project is a game, i'm trying to do an astroids clone. I figured that would be best since i've already got the art for it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Kishi Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Not much sleep this time, huh? Also, this is officially the end of the challenge! Kick back, relax, write up, and chill. 1 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment
UnknownUser Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hmm, yeah sleep has been lacking this challenge. This week i've been sleeping in since it's spring break. Tomorrow i'm back to my normal schedule. In review, i've got a lot done so far. I've completed a side project, I got my new portfolio up and running, I made a Youtube tutorial (something i've wanted to do for a long time), and completed my 20,000 kick challenge. I think the best course of action is to keep chugging. 1 Quote Link to comment
