Let's calculate the angle of a right triangle Alrighty, here's my problem. I have an agent on a 2-dimensional space. This agent has a current location (myX and myY) and he has a destination (destination[0] and destination[1] for X and Y respectively). I'm trying to calculate the angle be...

Linking tiles vs. use of an array Heyall. Imagine a house with four rooms. There's a north-western room, north-eastern room, south-western room and a south-eastern room. It's a 2x2 matrix of rooms (or for the purposes of this forum, of tiles). The NW room is connected to the NE...

want to avoid goto, how can I? I just can't see how to do this. I should be able to complete this function without using a goto, shouldn't I? I can't see how it can be done, though. And the last three hours of my life have been dedicated to staring dumbly at this snippet for the s...

fixed 2d array, dynamic third dimension I'm working on some research for a professor and am trying to solve a problem (more a limitation) that we've come across. I've got a world that exists as a 2 dimensional array. I've populated it with 8000 moth objects that "fly" about for a f...

Data Structure (Array) - Java or otherwise Hi all, I'm looking to implement an ArrayList in my game. I'm trying to figure out how's the best way to get this thing going. It's currently written out on paper, I haven't started programming it yet. Here's my current class listing: Play...

J2ME - What to look for I'm looking into buying a cell-phone this September (so I've still got a while to research and look around). What I want is a phone that I can upload my programs to directly from my PC to my phone through a USB or Seriel cable. I want to bypass up...

Let's calculate the angle of a right triangle Thanks for the replies, funk* I managed to find my problem yesterday, it required me to recognize when my destination point was less than that of my current point along the X axis. Here's what has seemed to have fixed it: double sinDiff = Ma...

Let's calculate the angle of a right triangle What I've done is calculate the angle between two points. Within computer science (at least within java and c), the quadrants of a 2 dimensional space are flipped. The angles are counter-intuitive in that when starting from 0 degrees where the 1st an...

3D Java Hiya. I'm not trying to nitpick, but I think you may be misunderstanding what is happening in the Pokemon games, and the classic Zelda games. You won't be needing a fullblown 3D engine, as they are simply using layers. Of course, should you want t...

Using Remote Desktop to develop games? I definitely recommend setting up a home network for use with remote access. If the laptop or desktop I am on is lacking in processing power, it is always nice to be able to access a faster computer and compile/test on that one. But...

My Kubuntu Flight 6 experience report... I've been using Ubuntu/Kubuntu the last couple years. Fair enough, KDE + Ubuntu does seem to put focus on the visual effects. I've had good experience running the XFCE windowing system, but at the same time why not just install Ubuntu and go str...

Nintendo in the News I just want to say for the record that I think this Nintendo Revolution this is going to be something else. Well, yeah, I guess that's like saying my cats breath smells like cat food or that people who mumble are hard to understand. I really do hope...

want to avoid goto, how can I? Thanks again for the help, the later replies make for good discussion/reading as well. The snippet is from this site over here for those interested. I'm actually a java programmer myself and am in the process of learning C. In doing so, I thought I'd...

want to avoid goto, how can I? doynax is correct. A goto is the simplest way to go about it. However, another programming language, such as java, doesn't have an easy way to do a goto statement. Those were quicker replies than I'd anticipated and my editing seems to have result...
