Irrlicht Engine

Thanks for replies, guys :) @nespa getHorizontalAngle() includes a sqrt calculation and 2 arctan calculations, so I don't think that would be a good choice. Thanks for working on my problem though ;) @CuteAlien I will definitely try this one, not sure what impact the normalizations will have on spee...

Assume we have a line, defined by two points (A and B), and a set of points we have to test. Now we have to find the point where the angle PHI (see image) is the largest we can find. If we mirror a point over the line, the test should yield different results, as we want only negative-oriented points...

EPIC WIN!!
I bet the seats are quite comfortable!

If you want only the 2D solution then here's my solution:
- take a point (P3)
- make a line out of other points (P1 --> P2)
- determine if the point is BELOW or ABOVE the line
- below: negative orientation of the tri.
- above: positive orientation of the tri.

Or is there already a tool where i can enter the address of the life value, and the tool displays the address of the base/static pointer plus the corresponding offsets? You should try studying reverse engineering. Oh yeah, ever heard of cheat engine? And here's a better alternative: memoryhacking.c...

Well then here's another one for you to figure out:
Why did they invent the so-called bit fields?

Right, it seems like its problem with this plane I made in blender. Its just plane I exported to 3ds, but it seems like I have to bark something with materials first. First you must unwrap it. While in edit mode just hit 'U'. Personally I find "smart projections" and "reset" the...

You shouldn't rely too much on your OS. Instead, try to understand how destructors work and how to properly delete object instances.

Sorry, my bad. I meant to say fractional part, not exponential

Grayscale depth buffer is pretty much useless, because it can only store 8 bit values. Your buffer should store the z values in the red channel and their exponential part in the green channel (you could also make use of the blue channel, but it's not necessary), so that it can be decyphered like thi...

I believe your damping values are way to high. You should set them to about 0.1 or 0.2 (I actually don't know, I've never used bullet, but I did work with newton. You should definitely try experimenting with those values). The thing is that spheres have nothing to do with friction if there is no dam...

Maybe you're using too small values, as floats are in fact quite inaccurate on small scales.

You certainly can't, if you set camera's absolute position each frame
short question - short answer

Maybe you should take a look at this:

I guess it's possible, but not really practical...

Have you ever heard of trigonometric functions? You probably need something like this: vector3df pos = node->getPosition(); f32 rot = node->getRotation().Y; f32 distance = 10.f; //or speed, if you'd like to put it that way pos.X += cos(rot * DEGTORAD) * distance; pos.Z += sin(rot * DEGTORAD) * dista...
