Hello,

 

The title says it all but if you need more information please ask and me VERY specific of what you want to see because i never know people want when they just say, let me see your source code, you have to tell me what part of the source you want to see

UGH! why'd you have to say that!!!!..... I'm so going to fail math 1500... I just know it....

 

And well i don't really have any source code right now because i just made it spin in a circle.... but i'll explain the thaought process

 

Okay, so in the entityturret class there is 2 variables, faceX and faceY, then in the renderturret class it takes those variables and sends them to the modelturret class to a method call "swivel" that's all i got right now

Learn radians, sine and cosine, how to convert vectors into angles, and that basic stuff.

Do you learn this is Pre-Calc/Algebra II? I'm taking both this year.

So, what would happen if I did push that shiny red button over there? ... Really? ... Can I try it? ... Damn.

I learned it back in junior high, that was well *well* over a decade ago, so I do not remember the exact class, but it is very easy stuff (just wait until you get to Limits), as well as plenty of documentation on the Internet.  ;)

 

I 'think' it was Trig class though.

So this year for me. YAY! :D

 

(If me celebrating learning arcane math seems strange, you should see what else I like to do. :P)

Arcane?  O.o

 

Trig is just a reduced form of Calculus, basic stuff; wait until you get to Calculus, and certainly not arcane, they are very recent developments, all things considered.  ;)

 

Yeah, arcane was a bad word. I do that all the time...

How about:

feared-by-juniors-everywhere

:P

Yeah, I'm three grades ahead in math compared to most people in 9th grade.
