Original post by Bluseed CAn someone tell me if this equation looks right. Im moving a ball on an x any y axis like this. Ball.x += cosf(BallAngle * PI / 180) * Ball.xv / 60; Is there anything fishy about this?

It should probably look more like this:

Ball.x += cos(BallAngle * PI / 180.0f) * Ball.speed * timeStep;Ball.y += sin(BallAngle * PI / 180.0f) * Ball.speed * timeStep;

There are other improvements that could be made as well, such as using vector rather than per-component notation.

Vector instead of pre-component notation? Can you explain a little more?

It's generally easier to work with geometric vectors as a class or struct of which the vector components are member variables, rather than individual variables as you're doing. Check out the articles section here for some introductory articles on vector and matrix math (you should be able to find some example code as well).

Damn That is beautiful i never seen that section of GDNET, i feel like an asshole!! lol thx i think thats the best help ever..
