I was doing some thinking today and I thought "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if you could use units like centimeters and seconds in GE?". So I created some simple code that let's you do just that. Here it is ^.^
- Code: Select all
#define GAMESCALE 1
#define MM (0.43 * GAMESCALE)
#define CM (43 * GAMESCALE)
#define M (4300 * GAMESCALE)
#define KM (4300000 * GAMESCALE)
#define IN (108 * GAMESCALE)
#define FT (1296 * GAMESCALE)
#define MI (6842880 * GAMESCALE)
#define MS (real_fps / 1000)
#define SEC (real_fps )
#define MIN (real_fps * 60 )
#define HR (real_fps * 360 )
Now here is how everything works. First of all, you have your "GAMESCALE". This is basically the proportion of your game reletive to the real world. So when it's set to 1, that means that everything is the same as in real life. Now after that, you have all of your units. Here is some example code showing how to use them.
global code:
- Code: Select all
int time = 0;
Player -> Create Actor -> Script Editor
- Code: Select all
x += 1 * IN;//This makes the player move to the side one inch
Player -> Draw Actor -> Script Editor
- Code: Select all
i++;
if(i > 1 * MIN)//After one minute...
{
b = 0;//...The actor will turn yellow
}
y += 2 *CM/SEC;//The actor moves down two centimeters per second
So yeah, that's it. I hope you can find useful in some way -_^
