Trigonometry Vertex Coordinates

I have gone over basic trig functions in high-school, but I don't remember ever being taught an algorithm for finding the coordinates of a vertex.

I know that I can create a second right triangle to grab (x,y), but I was wondering if there is a simpler way to do this.

Images in Tabs

Sat, 16 Oct 2010 22:03:11 +0000

Is there any way I could add an image to a tab? Right now i have it set up with buttons and a child, but when it's online there's a split-second delay between the time you press the button and the child updates. It's more of a nuisance than anything, and by no means will it hinder your gaming experience, but it could look more polished.

Try it out, post any bugs and errors that you find, and try to beat my highscore! It shouldn't be too hard, I suck at Pacman.

Transparent Output

Sat, 20 Dec 2008 13:24:48 +0000

Originally I was going to use mik_chat for an on-screen chat output, but the requirements of the code didn't work well with my game. I was wondering if there was a way to make just the output transparent without seeing through the whole window?

                B.icon = 'ChatBG.dmi'
                B.icon_state = "[count+1]"
                B.screen_loc = "[count-(round(count/19)*19)+1],[4-(round(count/19))]"
                B.layer = 1000
                B.name = ""
                usr.client.screen += B
