So, anyone have plans for what they're programming this summer?

Asteroids, Bust-a-Move, Missile Command (or Warhead), and Slime Volleyball are some good ones.

Note: I always work in radian mode (not degree).
A = degrees
B = radius
* = degree thing
Drawing an n-gon:
0->D
ClrDraw
ClrHome
Prompt A,B
ClrHome
360/C
For(A,0,360+Ans,Ans
Line(Bcos(D*),Bsin(D*),Bcos(A*),Bsin(A*
A->D
End
DelvarADelvarBDelvarCDelvarDDisp
The little "o" (reachable from the Angle menu) can be replaced with 180/pi, but it's a little slower that way. Also, the polygons may be a bit skewed if you have stupid window settings.
To display a point at an angle:
cos( for X
sin( for Y
Pt-On(radius * cos( degree * 180/pi), radius * sin( degree * 180/pi
To get an angle (in radians) given a point:
If X<>0
tan^-1(Y/X)+180(Y<0)
If A=0
90+180(Y<0
The only reason for having the If statements is avoiding the "Divide by 0" error, so it's unnecessary if your game would never come across that.
That last example would be good for an overhead-view game where the computer always has his gun pointed in your direction. It would also work if you chose to make Bust-a-Move incredibly easy.
Uh, there are other ways, too. I know you don't like being taught, but it's one of the best ways to learn things :img19:.

Look at my earlier post on a polygon-drawer. Once you have enough sides, it looks like a circle (less sides means faster drawing but not as exact).

Total Posts: 96 | I got the circle/n-gon thing working, but is it possible to move them to different coordinates?
Do I just add the x coordinates to the first and third in the line( command and add y for the second and fourth? sounds close enough imma gonna try it :alien: :sunglasses2: :alien:
