That was easy enough for me to understand, and that means it's awesome. Thanks.

Nice! That'll come in really handy. That's the sort of thing I just never think of.

wynand 2009-02-10 17:03:40

nice =) so you figured it all out yourself? should make a tutorial and submit it =) sure there will be a huge flock of people trying their hand and submitting it =) good work

Vector maths is so insanely useful in graphical programming. My own Vector2D class is the most used class in my code library by far, so much so in fact that I've had to employ object pooling to speed things up!

I love the diagram

Remember when the hockey puck hit you in the nipple at London?
Good times... Good times.....

That's smart, boy do I feel like an idiot for doing it the other way!

Everything mathematical is so much easier with vectors. Seriously. Whenever anyone I know (including myself) has learnt vector maths, they've just gone "holy crap, why the hell did I waste so much time studying regular trigonometry!"

It also helped me understand the theory behind complex numbers. There's a BIG secret about the square root of minus one, and I don't mean non-existence.

I totally got that. Reminded me of my math classes, god i hate analitic geometry so much.

Lalo 2009-02-10 20:41:29

I didnt really get it. My sarcasm sucks D:

Now, why is normalizing called normalizing? Surely they could have thought up a better name for it.. like the one I can't think of right now.

RickyBrown 2009-02-11 00:37:28

your so cool

Glaiel-Gamer 2009-02-11 01:04:17

or wrap it in a class. Which is so much nicer in c++ when you have operator overloading.

brenhil 2009-02-11 08:38:33

WoW, that was easy to read! Thanks!

weaselfan 2009-02-11 11:35:10

you never seace to amaze me mike

I was like wtf until i saw the diagram, that should be in every programming book from now on.

Also, adding sniper rifles saves time with this coding :D

SEXORCIST10 2009-02-11 16:59:16

cool

Ismael92 2009-02-11 18:40:50

It's cool to see how you did something that so many people think it's difficult but in a simple way. I had to remember some things I learnt in my English class years ago to fully understand it, and it's good.

Thanks, I don't think I'll use it but someone probably will.
