Helicopter blades
« on: August 31, 2018, 12:32:15 am »
I was working on an idea for helicopter blades tonight for a game similar to: http://www.helicopter-game.org/

I thought instead of using a sprite sheet why not mathematically draw them and then store them in images instead of using a sprite sheet. Below is the result which I though I would share because the routine may be useful to others. Right now it looks like a ceiling fan spinning casting a shadow, LOL.

Code: QB64: [Select]

  2. ' Helicopter blades idea
  3.  
  4. CONST PI = 3.1415926
  5.  
  6. start = -.00000001
  7. finish = -2 * PI / 16
  8. steps = finish / 20
  9. inc = -.0981726875
  10.  
  11. SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(640, 480, 32)
  13.  
  15.     FOR j = 0 TO 15
  16.         _LIMIT 30
  17.         CIRCLE (319, 239), 35, _RGB(25, 76, 127), , , .35
  18.         PAINT (319, 239), _RGB(25, 76, 127), _RGB(25, 76, 127)
  19.         FOR i = start + (inc * j) TO finish + (inc * j) STEP steps
  20.             FOR k = 0 TO 3
  21.                 radian = i + k * -1.5707963
  22.                 IF radian < -2 * PI THEN radian = radian + 2 * PI
  23.                 CIRCLE (319, 239), 35, _RGB(12, 38, 88), radian, radian, .35
  24.                 CIRCLE (319, 209), 35, _RGB(12, 38, 88), radian, radian, .35
  25.             NEXT k
  26.         NEXT i
  27.         _DISPLAY
  28.         CLS
  29.     NEXT j

Thanks, I though about changing the aspect of the ellipse and blade width according my relation to horizon but decided to have lunch instead. :)

Yes, math can be fun, so is inspiring others. I admire your tutorial efforts.
