Jim, Thanks! I'll have another look/try.
To put this into context, My original need grew out of an attempt to demo (unsuccessfully, as it turned out) using Rev to create a game of moving objects on a map/background. The map would need to scroll as the moving character image hit the edges of the window. Check. Got that. Got the critter moving. Check. Got that. But where I had problems (there were two) was in (1) doing collision detection. This was because the students wanted to use an orthoscopic map. Imagine using X,Y coords but they're skewed by 45 degrees. This meant having to use irregularly-shaped targets. Hence my first problem. (2) It wasn't enough to do collision detection; I needed a coorection factor for where the critter had to _go around_ an obstacle (that is: detect collision and reset position to just before collision to alert the player that the critter need to go around the obstacle). It was especially the second that prompted somebody to tell me to go read an algorithm book. Like I said, I just gave up there. Maybe I'll pester you if I run into obstacles myself ;-) Thanks, Judy On Fri, 24 Jun 2005, Jim Hurley wrote: > > > >Message: 12 > >Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2005 10:49:17 -0700 (PDT) > >From: Judy Perry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Subject: Re: is within ... polygon shape? > >To: How to use Revolution <[email protected]> > >Message-ID: > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII > > > >bummer... > > > >I was hoping that you'd found a solution to my need for the sort of > >irregularly-shaped buttons that an old HC external provided. > > > >Drats! > > > >Judy > > > > Judy, > > Take a look at: > > go stack url "http://home.infostations.net/jhurley/CollidingPolygons.rev"; > > Hope you all make it home all right.
