LÖVE

hey guys

im working on a new demo at the moment but im stuck on how to use the physics to allow a vehicle to drive properly as well as drift around turns, think of something like wipeout for an idea of what i mean

are there any really useful links, tutorials or librariess to achieve this? ive had a look for hours and havent turned up anything i can follow yet

a basic .love would be awesome

take it easy

I would imagine you just turn down the friction and keep gravity at (0,0)

but working out angles and the heading using sin etc? i dont know how that works, any ideas?

this is writen for a game in java but the math's is just the same i guess.

it explains it well

ive had a go and think it should work but the values arnt numbers :S does anyone have any ideas?

velocity~=position

so how do you go about using it then? the angles are messed up

I pretty much completely rewrote it, but have a look at what I did here.

thanks, it seems to have lost the drifting using the friction value though, how do you implement that?

Instead of using setVelocity, might try using applyImpulse or something similar. Or a hybrid of the two.
