Nice tutorial ! Can you talk about how we can use the trig functions to make primitive shapes like triangle, regular polygon and circle.. I’m sure others will like to know how cool trigonometry can accomplish this
(52:00) My preferred explanation for radians is: It's the length of the circumference of the angle (on unit circle). Which happens to be 6.28.. or 2π or Tau for full revolution.
"It's the length of the circumference of the angle (on unit circle)." u meant: "The length of the *arc* substended by an angle on the unit circle" ? The word circunference is not a part of something, its a whole. Arc is a part (substended by a central angle of a circle) of the circunference.

The reason so many things do not make sense to you is the world you confine yourself in. Well established or not, your world is what is flipped and twisted, you should appreciate that and deal with it instead of complaining. One would think you'd be a bit more openminded... But let's not argue, just take a look at this: The order is sine, cosine because the sine function is the base for the "co-sine" function. Of course this doesn't match your x, y order, but consider a world where 0° is 'up' and rotation taking place in a clockwise manner. In this world you'd find that sin(α) gives you the x-component and cos(α) the y-component. And guess what - atan2 takes x as the first argument in that world. Also, that's where I've lived for most of my life. Boy, was I confused when I first got into openGL, where everything was rotated on the side and then flipped on its face. I mean you should just adapt and appreciate that things are not the same for everyone, everywhere. Just because something doesn't fit well into your scheme of things doesn't mean it's wrong, right?
Yes, it is a quirk. The math ist not stupid but perfectly fine, that's what I'm saying. It just doesn't fit so we'll in that world where axes are swapped. This is where the quirk lies, not in the order of function arguments. So what I meant is that she didn't seem to know, nor care that there's reason for those things. And by deal with it, I meant actually dealing with it; making it no longer be a problem, in whatever manner comfortable to her. Maybe my first comment seemed a bit harsher than it was meant to, so here's an apology for that. Just don't call a thing stupid, when you don't know why it is the way it is. It might not be stupid after all.
It seems your turret forward vector code is incorrect, just letting you know, i mean it works on flat surfaces but not slopes, by cross producting it with a sloped normal, it no longer points in the look direction of the camera (or whatever origin ray was used)
For the first problem:I made an overcomplicated solution where i got the "local space" basis vectors at the rayhit and did a bunch of dot products. Feling very dumb after seeing the easy solution.
I'm not a game dev by far. I've been trying to figure out how to code a simple plane ai for a game called From the Depths lol. Been trying to figure out how to get a plane to roll left or right depending on target bearing.
Recently watched and enjoyed the talk. At the 10:40 mark a reference to a document on How Meshes Work and how they are structured. Curious to know if that link is still available?
4:20 If I was to do a quick cheap technique, I would just grab the vector, put the source at where it needs to hit the surface and multiple vector.y by - 😂

Thank you for this content!! I have been struggling on some math for several weeks now, never touched trig in my life and you were able to help me with the math I needed for my functions!! Amazing!!!
I'm wondering if perhaps part of the reason Pi is more ubiquitous than Tau is because those inverse trig functions only really work unambiguously within the first two quadrants (eg: Where the angle is < Pi radians). I'm not saying that it's a good reason of course.
I'd say it's simply a matter of habit. A long, long time ago it was much easier to measure the diameter of a circle than its radius. The concept of π is rooted in thousands of years of tradition and thus, by extension, is rooted in thousands of years of mathematical discoveries.
@2:01:55 I just wanted to mention that the range of arcsin (asin) is -1/4 turn to +1/4 turn, -90 to +90 degrees, -tau/4 to +tau/4 ( -pi/2 to +pi/2). That is in fact how atan2 can recognize the quadrant. If the vector is in the lower right corner, acos is positive and asin is negative. Similarly for the other quadrants, the signs of asin and acos are different so the correct quadrant can be determined. If asin had a range of 0 to 1/2 turn, then that would not be possible as the sign would always be positive, and thus not give the required additional clue for the quadrant.
I'll admit that I was pretty scared about my math skills when I started my own game about month ago. My math teachers in every educational level have been shit to worse. But then at my work suggested this tutorial here and oh boy. You girl are pure gold! I now understand everything so clearly thanks to your super educational tutorials. Thank you so much!
I am a Mathematician and Philosopher; (I hate Mathematicians and Philosophers) All they do is {arg}ue about everything ! Alexander Grothendieck is insane because of everything you say and do, has so be a debate about semantics, context, and preconditions. {1}
Public education is criminal. This was infinitely easier to understand than going through the nonsense of math. Everything made sense until we started bluring the area between the contextual idea of length and distance. You'll get lost if you forget these are all VECTORS with a DIRECTION. In terms of algebra we don't really care. And I feel like the tangent segment started to slip into that area where vectors are not talked about. The animation does not make sense algebraically. Because you are asking why the tangent Shrinking is...well if you look at the tangent being a LINE it doesn't make sense but when you remember the tangent IS a vector...that is dependent on other vectors it makes sense. I was going to hop back in engine after 2 but I think I'm just going to keep watching for a bit more.
Error. Tangent is cos to sin ratio if you doing algebra, and raycasting of angle vector to (Y-inf to +inf) line going though (X=1.0f). Illustrated in this video kinda tangent must have a hole between -1 and 1, but it continuous in that range.
what about the bonus challenge?:) Spent an entire night on "make an object move along the bounced path at a fixed speed when you press play" but can't get it to work properly... wonder if we can get some insight on that
Does the determinant thing work in 3D? I remember there is an equation for that in 3D. I actually have needed this in 3D to keep a physics object on a track using physics. If it's to the right of the path push it to the left to keep it on and so on.
"atan" and "atan2" is the same, with "atan" u need to give one input which is the slope (y / x) and with "atan2" u don't need to divide yourself and just give y and x as an input (the "2" just stands for 2 inputs). I also thougth for a long time that "atan2" is something special^^
You are incorrect, atan2 does more than just atan(y/x). It runs a check to determine if cos(α) is negative and adds pi to the result if it is. If you used simply atan(y/x) you'd have to assume that your coordinates DEFINITELY reside in quadrants I or IV. If they didn't, you'd end up with results you don't expect.
@@King-mj2bn Doesn't it just check whether x is positive and negative? That's the only thing needed to check if it's in quadrants 2 or 3 instead of 1 or 4.. (1 being positive X and Y). float atan2( float y, float x ) => atan( y / x ) + 0 > x ? PI : 0;
