@poi830 The black and white fine lines one was an experiment with the glitch in the avatar display in chat. Then I changed it to a ray traced scene for the launch of Computer Graphics SE. Then I reverted to my turtle from my first ever PPCG answer. Then the turtle went inverse coloured for Halloween.
Gravity is a force that is calculated by:
F_G = gamma * mass1 * mass2 / distance^2
Where gamma is the gravity constant and mass1 and mass2 are the objects' masses. You get the resulting acceleration with:
F_G = a * mass1
a = F_G / mass1
= gamma * mass2 / distance^2
And you'll see that the acceleration is independent of the moving object's mass. What remains is gamma * mass2 which you can set to an arbitrary constant. Whichever meets your needs best.
Now we have the length of the acceleration vector. The direction is of course normalize(cursorPosition - pointPosition). So the overall ac…
I'm not sure why it's cubed though. Should just be squared, I think.
Incidentally, you can save an operation by calculating the magnitude of the distance vector and not square-rooting it if you know it'll be squared later.
And here I was thinking you could put whatever you want in comments and get away with it
Anyone have ideas or should I go to S/O? I'm like "almost certain" percent sure that this program contains no errors and that Eclipse is doing A Thing.
And honestly, I just stopped caring about languages. I love JavaScript. I can love PHP. I don't think Java is bad. Each language has a purpose, and each one is just fine.
19B == 1111111111111111111 or 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111?
