Scratch has many limitations, but I thought I could find my way around one of the major ones ...

After some success with the Arkanoid demo I created in Scratch with only one brick sprite being stamped in multiple places, I thought I'd go for a parallax scrolling starfield using only one sprite object for next week's practical session.

I started off by creating a Star sprite with two costumes, one with a single white pixel for drawing the star, and one with a single black pixel for erasing the… Continue

TTH Revival

I'm sure most people on the CGT course will have at some point created a game or demo for one of their courseworks and planned to return to it later on in their own time to continue working on it. One such project for me has always been my 2D Graphics Programming coursework, TTH.

About TTH

Two Tanks and a Hill (yes, I know we were very inventive), is a simple 2D game like Scorched Tanks (old amiga game) where there is a tank at either side of a randomly generated hilly terrain. Each pla… Continue

I've checked my last message, but the code has come out all wrong. Don't worry about it anyway - I'll keep battling on with vectors in my own time. I'll get there eventually!

At 7:48pm on July 1, 2009, The STIG said…: Hello, it's Malcolm again:

I'm generally making progress on the Python book, but there is one "listing" which isn't working. I'm trying to produce a vector, whereby I am plotting an object stopping ten times going from Position A to Position B. This is the code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import math

class Vector2(object):

def __init__(self, x=0.0, y=0.0):
self.x = x
self.y = y

def __str__(self):
return "(%s, %s)"%(self.x, self.y)

@staticmethod
def from_points(P1, P2):
return Vector2( P2[0] - P1[0], P2[1] - P1[1] )

def __mul__(self, scalar):
return Vector2(self.x * scalar, self.y * scalar)

A = (10.0, 20.0)
B = (30.0, 35.0)
AB = Vector2.from_points(A, B)
step = AB * 0.1
position = Vector2(A.x, A.y)
for n in range(10):
position += step
print position

For some reason this isn't working, despite it being in the book. I was wondering if you had some cunning ideas on fixing this problem?

Thanks, Malcolm

I have had a look through google and I can only seem to come up with GCSE revision stuff which is inadequate to my needs.
