Hi Josh,
As Thomas said, I use pretty basic math in my games even my racing simulator
Mach 1. And Puppy 1. I also got threw algebra and geometry, but that is it.
I just make up the math as I go. And I do experiment with it until I like the
way that the games play. In Puppy 1 the planes and each bullet does have a 3d
coordinate that are up dated many times a second, but I just use simple math to
do it. My brother gave me the math formula for Star Mule to calculate the
distance between planets in a 3d environment. That is the only game that I use
it in though.
Awesome Homer was pretty easy math wise, even adding an analog jump system
wouldn't take much.
One thing that I do is when I have a game idea I just get started working on it
and don't over think it all and get bogged down with it all before even
starting.
BFN
Jim
