finally
Thank you so much. Finally something that isn't a parody or something else completely stupid. It's good to know that at least 1 person on NG has a grasp on physics. I would really hate to see this submission get a low score because people think its boring!
Excellent!
Well Done! Exactly the kind of tutorial needed in and worthy of the flash tutorial collection. Would love to see more like this. This flash covers a very good ball bouncing behavior, collision detection, interacting with the ground, and more. The math is fairly advanced and complicated but it is explained thoroughly and can be understood with a little effort from those challenged by math; it's deals with trigonometric functions and differential equations and it explains and makes allowances for some of flash's limitations in dealing with math expressions. Very Good and I would love to see more like this!
Woaaah
This is front page material! You are one smart cookie. Everything was explained so well :D
Great Tut for begginners AND advanced users
The 'Next' and 'Back' buttons could a bit bigger though, but 10/10 for the thoroughness .
Fantastic tutorial. I cannot emphasize this enough; PROGRAMMERS NEED TO LEARN MATH. There are so many cool things you can do with math just in moving things alone, but as for some people like me, you either didn't go through public school or highschool to learn it or forgot it entirely.
I can't post any links, but here are some good things to help you with:
Khanecademy: fantastic place for general education and their website has an awesome math exercise campaign style application (even comes with achievements).
Math.com: Good for taking a quick glance at math if you don't feel like watching videos all day.
Wiki-freakin'-pedia (not in quotes): just type in random math questions and browse through the blue words.
Learning math is a long process and can only be learned if you put it to use. Find some excuses to use some really complicated methods of math such as general physics or trigonometry (tower defense turrets uses some of those equations). Good luck to all of us mates!
