I have asked this question before but I am revisiting this question, I want to get a sprite to jump in a parabolic fashion.
void jump(int val)
{
y = (-0.01) * x * x;//-100 to 0 to -100
x -= 5;// 100 to -100
if (x <= -100)
{
x = -100;
}
glutPostRedisplay();
glutTimerFunc(500, update, 0);
}
ok well I have got the sprite to move up and down but what I want it to do is move up and down once not continuously like it does now.
void jump(int val)
{
y = (-0.01) * x * x;//-100 to 0 to -100
x += 5;// 100 to -100
if (x >= 100)
{
x = -100;
}
glutPostRedisplay();
cout << y << endl;
glutTimerFunc(50, jump, 0);
}
Please phrase the question in the form of a QUESTION, as opposed to a STATEMENT, Phil. A question always ends with a question mark (?). We know what you want to do, but we don't know what question you are asking.
I watched the video and I get the hint and my little dog game is the project I am working on. yes, I am struggling with it but I still solve my problems it just takes me a little longer than most. I still enjoy it that's why I have not given up. I agree that the only way to get good at programming is to still program.
Another way to get good at it is to ask good questions (in the form of a question, ending with a question mark).

I am working on an old project that is like a 2d platformer, I have drawn two animated sprites and andone can jump in parabolic fashion.
How come you can't answer your own βquestionβ seeing that you've done it before???

That thread is a great example of you jumping ship after getting good advice.
