Re: My tanks goes haywire, halp :S

Well, I guess that writing this topic somehow helped me to think, I came up with this (bad)solution inside that function: --add rotation local step = 0 --- -[[ for i = 1, #shape - 1, 2 do --check x,y pairs for the 4 points of the rectangle (8 total values) --distance from current point to pivot loca...

Re: Help me displaying my vector pls x_x

Thanks for the explanation s-ol, I think that another reason I was a bit confused about it was that (unless I did something horribly wrong) the circle seems rotated 90° counter-clockwise compared to the image of it I see on google, meaning pi/2 is on the left :? Edit: maybe is that multiplying by -0...

Simple math practice

Since I suck at math I thought I could make myself a tool to help me visualize it and see relations between numbers, practice some very useful math stuff needed for game development and such. So I started today trying to visualize the distance formula x^2 + y^2 = c^2 Program below, feel free to try ...
