SHADOW THEORY FINALLY CALCULATED!

[snotskie]

lolwow.
took a while didn't it?

finally found the piece-wise function i was looking for, and the way to implement it correctly.

where a = obstacle.xpos and b = obstacle.ypos and q = destination.xpos...
when x < a: -(x/(a*sqrt(b)/b) - sqrt(b))^2 + b

else: -((x-q)/((a-q)*sqrt(b)/b))^2 + b

i hope to see this used to calculate exact path movements in the next few games of mine... ;D

EDIT:

see a demo of it here: kno3.tk/
(will need java installed)

Pretty cool. I see you still haven't got the clock to display the correct time though.

LMAO
yeh.. thats a minor flaw..
cun member the function(s) to call to get the system time ://

EDIT BUMP:

So..
Guess who gets to do field tests at his school to future his studies of Shadow Theory ;D
We're gonna place random as hell shit in the middle of the freshman wing and record how they walk around it. Not only is it in the name of SCIENCE, but it'll be well worth the lulz

Depending on how we collect data, I might even post some screens
