Counting a circle path

[Bee-Ant]

I found, you could make that CIRCLE movement with put this code in DrawActor

Code: Select all

angle+=10;
directional_velocity=10;

Ummm...I think you know how to do this

[Troodon]

Yeah, but this is weaker. I mean, this movement isn't count using the "mass center". It's just making a circle.

[Bee-Ant]

So you wanna make something moving in circle constantly depend on it's center?
Like a moon and an earth???

[Troodon]

Moon doesn't rotate around earth in circle but yeah, something like that. But don't worry, I've got a good tutorial of it here in this topic. I just haven't had time to try it yet.

[Bee-Ant]

Oh...how about use my last code also use this :
Actor>DrawActor>MoveTo>Avoid>Centre

Wow, that's "simple" and working! Now I only have to understand what is it doing

[Kalladdolf]

yeah, it is.
my brother-in-law helped me making it.
he's a C++ genius

[Kalladdolf]

oh, I forgot:
what you do is, you basically increase/decrease the value of the anle "a".

Great job! If I give you a point will you pass it on to your brother in law?

[Kalladdolf]

he doesn't have a forum account...
but I'll give him a piece of cake

The problem for me is that everything is in english

now I understand why one type of software isn't compatable with the same type made in another country: the programming language is different!.... am I correct?

[Troodon]

Programming language (PL) and human language (let's call it HP as "human protocol") are not together.
When you write something with PL (for example Java, C, OpenGL...) you write it the same way, it doesn't change if you are chinese, american or from Samoa. Myvar = 455; do the same thing in all HPs. If your HP is for example french, you understand the PL the same as someone with spanish HP. The difference comes in comments and user interface which must use more or less HP. That's why most of programs are in english HP.
If one software isn't compatable in another country, it may mean that it uses for example [ , ] instead of [ . ] etc.
