Re: Learning how to code free movement and panning in a game like Swamp. @Aprone, thank you for these tutorials on coding and can someone please post the link for beginners since I’m still learning the language. This is advanced for me but very helpful. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net

Re: Learning how to code free movement and panning in a game like Swamp. I know this question might be stupid, but I am genuinely interestedi n the process.How does the cosine relate to the horizontal, and sine to the vertical line? DOes it have to do something with the function graphs? I

Re: Learning how to code free movement and panning in a game like Swamp. Hi all,Afraid I've done that most terrible of things! I've copy and pasted Aprone's wonderful formula into my own code, without really understanding the maths behind it.It's all working fine, exc

Re: Learning how to code free movement and panning in a game like Swamp.

Re: Learning how to code free movement and panning in a game like Swamp. I understud all of the consepts of the code, but i'm not able to think on how we could play a footstep sound exactly whem the player moves a distance of 1.0 from their previous spot. Is there a formula to solve i

Re: Learning how to code free movement and panning in a game like Swamp.

Re: Learning how to code free movement and panning in a game like Swamp. Yeah. You probably can't actually fix that, and in practice it's not noticeable.See, the thing is that two floats are almost never equal.  The only time you can be sure that a==b is if you type out the va

Re: Learning how to code free movement and panning in a game like Swamp. So, This just pans a sound based on a location 1 coord away.But it also says that the sound is behind when it is really to the side. See the following prints:print pan_value((3, 2), 90, (5, 2))print pan_value((4, 2

Re: Learning how to code free movement and panning in a game like Swamp. My east is at 0 because I was trying not to break the convention too badly, but Aprone's east is at zero most likely because this is how trigonometry works.  The standard convention in the literature is east

Re: Learning how to code free movement and panning in a game like Swamp. The following code is correct as far as I can tell.  I included the test cases.  The function pan_value returns two things: a value between -1 and 1 as above and a true/false value that tells you if the object is

Re: Learning how to code free movement and panning in a game like Swamp. Well,The problem is that each set of code that was typed out here is different and none of it seems to work for me. Granted I am not the best at BGT, so there could have been some new thing that was introduced above
