Re: [Audyssey] looking for programming advice: cyntaxdifferencebetween bgt and java
I'm aiming to create a multi-level (multi-stage?) fps game. I plan to have a central location between stages, and each stage will have it's own map(s). I'm hoping to create a 3d game (similar to swamp in navigation). I plan to have about 15 different types of terrain, and will probably end up manually creating the map files, with numbers to designate the type of terrain. As far as movement goes, I'm thinking of storing x and y in ints, and possibly creating timers to tell when the character changes coordinates. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle angles though. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Date sent: Sun, 28 Jul 2013 21:42:46 -0400 Subject: Re: [Audyssey] looking for programming advice: cyntaxdifferencebetween bgt and java Hi John, As I indicated before it all depends on exactly what type of game you are writing, and what exactly you want to do. If this is just a 2d side-scroller than you can get by with declaring a couple of variables to hold your coordinates. Basically, just an x variable to hold your horizontal movement and a y variable for your horizontal movement. However, if you are thinking of an FPS where you will have 360 degrees of movement then we will have to work on building at least a trig based system of movement which isn't complicated to do. I guess before I can really answer your questions maybe you can give us an outline of the game you want to create in BGT. Once you give us a basic outline of what you plan to do we can give you the best advice possible.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for programming advice: cyntaxdifferencebetween bgt and java
Hi John, Okay, I am glad you told me that, because what you want to do is going to require some basic understanding of trig and geometry to pull off. I can certainly help you with that, but there is absolutely no way out of the math requirements for movement in that type of game. First, simple integers for x and y coordinates won't work in an FPS. They aren't precise enough for what you want and you'll loose accuracy and precision. You would be better off using floats or even better yet doubles for a wider degree of accuracy when moving from coordinate to coordinate. Second, you don't have to use timers to update the player's position. You can simply update the player's position in real time as the up or down arrow keys are pressed. To keep them at a constant speed you can check if the step sounds are playing or not. If playing ignore the command. If not playing play step sound and update position. That's basically all there is to it. Finally, as far as handling angles there are two ways of handling this. You can use the Cartesian calculations with 0 oriented as due east, or you can use the bearing system where 0 is oriented do north. If we know how you want to handle this it will be pretty easy to pass along some formulas for calculating your position. Cheers!

I'm certainly willing to give the geometry my best shot, but I think it's worth mentioning that the only serious concept I've got down is the pythagerium theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2 if that name doesn't come out correctly).

[Audyssey] anyone able to connect to the mud called underdark race wars?
Hi, anyone been able to connect to the mud called underdark race wars? Got the info on the game from the mud connector, but I get an error that the mud timed out when I tried to connect. Love the books about the underdark in the D and D worlds, so i wwould love to try this game.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for programming advice:cyntaxdifferencebetween bgt and java
Hi John,
Well, if we are talking a very minimalistic movement system etc you
can probably get away with only four or five trig formulas for a basic
FPS game. Its really not that complex to calculate the distance
between two coordinates, calculate direction, and update your
position. Here is some sample functions written in C++ that should
give you the basic concept. These functions assume 0 is due north and
180 is south as you requested.
// Function: GetDirection(double, double, double, double).
// Description: Calculates the absolute direction between
// two sets of coordinates.
double GetDirection(double x1, double z1, double x2, double z2)
{
// Subtract x2 from x1
double x = x1 - x2;
// Subtract z1 from z2
double z = z2 - z1;
// Calculate theta by the arc tangent
// of -x*z
double theta = std::atan2(-x, z);
// Now, multiply theta by 180
// and divide by PI
double direction = (theta * 180) / 3.14159265;
// Return the direction
return direction;
}
// Function: GetDistance(double, double, double, double, double, double).
// Description: Calculates the distance between
// two sets of coordinates.
double GetDistance(double x1, double y1, double z1,
double x2, double y2, double z2)
{
// Subtract the first set of coordinates
// from the second set of coordinates
double x = x2 - x1;
double y = y2 - y1;
double z = z2 - z1;
// Square x, y, and z
x = x * x;
y = y * y;
z = z * z;
// Calculate the distance by getting the
// square route of x, y, and z
double distance = std::sqrt(x + y + z);
// Return the distance
return distance;
}
// Function: GetRelative(double, double, double, double, double).
// Description: Calculates the relative direction between
// two sets of coordinates.
double GetRelative(double angle, double x1, double z1,
double x2, double z2)
{
// First, we want to calculate the absolute direction
// between the two coordinates
double absolute = GetDirection(x1, z1, x2, z2);
// Calculate the relative direction by
// subtracting the direction the object is facing
// from the absolute direction
double relative = absolute - angle;
// Return the relative direction
return relative;
}
// Function: GetX(double, double, double).
// Description: Calculates the next possible x coordinate.
double GetX(double direction, double x, double velocity)
{
// Calculate the next x coordinate by
// multiplying velocity by the sine of
// direction*PI/180
x += velocity * std::sin((direction * 3.14159265) / 180);
// Return the new x coordinate
return x;
}
// Function: GetY(double, double, double).
// Description: Calculates the next possible y coordinate.
double GetY(double direction, double y, double velocity)
{
// Calculate the next y coordinate by
// multiplying velocity by the cosine of
// direction*PI/180
y += velocity * std::cos((direction * 3.14159265) / 180);
// Return the new y coordinate
return y;
}
// Function: GetZ(double, double, double).
// Description: Calculates the next possible z coordinate.
double GetZ(double direction, double z, double velocity)
{
// Calculate the next z coordinate by
// multiplying velocity by the cosine of
// direction*PI/180
z += velocity * std::cos((direction * 3.14159265) / 180);
// Return the new z coordinate
return z;
}
That code should give you a very minimal 3d system so you can
calculate distance, direction, and the next x, y, and z coordinates
along a given vector. I might add that x is left/right, y is up/down
vertically, and z represents your forward/back axis.
Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] looking for programming advice: cyntaxdifferencebetween bgt and java
I'm not sure why you wouldn't use a timer to calculate movement rate. If you rely on whether the sound is playing or not, you run into a whole host of problems: * If you change the step sound, the game's speed changes. * If your floor footstep is shorter than your grass one, you would move faster on a floor. * If you want to adjust speed either up or down on the fly, you're out of luck. * Literals, especially such obscure ones, are not a good idea. If you're going to have your player move a tile at a time, use a timer, then have the sound stopped and restarted if it's already playing. -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Monday, July 29, 2013 7:49 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] looking for programming advice: cyntaxdifferencebetween bgt and java Hi John, Okay, I am glad you told me that, because what you want to do is going to require some basic understanding of trig and geometry to pull off. I can certainly help you with that, but there is absolutely no way out of the math requirements for movement in that type of game. First, simple integers for x and y coordinates won't work in an FPS. They aren't precise enough for what you want and you'll loose accuracy and precision. You would be better off using floats or even better yet doubles for a wider degree of accuracy when moving from coordinate to coordinate. Second, you don't have to use timers to update the player's position. You can simply update the player's position in real time as the up or down arrow keys are pressed. To keep them at a constant speed you can check if the step sounds are playing or not. If playing ignore the command. If not playing play step sound and update position. That's basically all there is to it. Finally, as far as handling angles there are two ways of handling this. You can use the Cartesian calculations with 0 oriented as due east, or you can use the bearing system where 0 is oriented do north. If we know how you want to handle this it will be pretty easy to pass along some formulas for calculating your position.

[Audyssey] Solara help.
Hello. I have been playing Solara on my iPhone for the last few days. Can someone please give a little bit of help? I would like to start a new game. I have deleted the game from both my gamecenter and phone, but when I reinstall the game it starts right were I left off.

I understand most of these; could you explain the point of getX, getY, and getZ?

Re: [Audyssey] Solara help.
you can't restart. you can hardly mess it up. so just play from where you are. you could always communicate with the dev's, but i suspect they will tell you much the same.
