This is normally written as cos–1. So, all you do is use the inverse cosine button on a calculator (if you can’t see cos–1 on your calculator, you may have to press the inverse button before the cosine button) to get the result: ? 54) At this point I’m going to end the lesson in trigonometry. Although it is a vast subject, the Pythagorean theorem and SohCahToa are all the trig theory you are going to need for the rest of this book. TLFeBOOK 18 | Chapter 1 Mathematics Vectors You’ll be using vector math frequently when designing the AI for your games.
Therefore we need to determine the vector TP — the vector that points directly at the princess. This is calculated by subtracting point T from point P. Because T is at the origin (0, 0), in this example P–T = P. However, the answer P–T is a vector, so let’s show this by typing it in bold and calling it P. We know that the cosine of the angle the troll needs to turn to face the princess is equivalent to the dot product of H and P, provided both vectors are normalized. H is already normalized so we only need to normalize P.
The answer is that the amount of acceleration, a, is proportional to the object’s mass, m, and to the total force applied, F. 94) Using this equation, if we know how fast an object is accelerating and its mass, we can calculate the total force acting upon it. 5 = 3000 N Also using the equations for force, acceleration, velocity, and position, if we know how much force is acting on an object, we can determine the acceleration due to that force and update the object’s position and velocity accordingly.
