1. ICONS...(DEAD HORSE I KNOW)
I looked in the archives but couldn't find anything that says how to
place an icon in the upper left of a window. Is this possible and if
so how? I read somewhere to use this " setIcon( bullet, "SHUTTLE.ico" ) "
Will it work? Also could someone look at this and let me know if you
se any problems with my coding. It just doesn't seem right to me.
How could I make the y axis a different scale than the x axis and still
have it come out simy acurate. Thanks in advance.
atom t,t2, x, y, maxx, maxy, timeinc,timeinc2, velocity,oldx,oldy
oldx=50
oldy=300
timeinc = .0001
timeinc2= .0001
velocity = 100
t2= 0
t = 0
x = 0
y = 0
max_x = 950
max_y = 500
while(x<max_x)and(y<max_y) do
x = (velocity * t) + oldx
y = (.5 * 32 * t2* t2) + oldy --32f/s vice 9.8 m/s
x = floor(x)
y = floor(y)
setPixel(bullet,x,y,Blue)--plot points
t = t + timeinc --increase time
t2 = t2 + timeinc2
end while
Also does anyone know any round to whole number procedures other than floor?
Thanks again.

setIcon is the function to use.

You should only need one time variable unless you live in a strange
universe where time does not advance at a contant rate...

If you want to round to the nearest integer:
function round( atom number )
return floor( number + 0.5 )
end function

/me raises a paw.....
Remember that experiment in the 70's with two planes that flew around the
world in opposite directions, both with sync'd atomic clocks,, and when they
landed, both were out of sync with the clock that stayed behind? It has been
repeated several times, with the same results. Einstin predicted it would
happen,, he also predicted that time vs speed problem tossed about in FTL
travel discussions.

I have since fixed that. I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks for
pointing it out.

David, I forgot a '2' the height would be
H = V * V / 2 * G or plugging in the numbers 15, 625

Although we all know that float() is horribly slow, in fact slower than
sqrt(). In a thread a long time ago this was discussed, and Rob explained that
Intel have a round() and sqrt() instruction on the chip but floor() has to be
done in software.
What I cannot remember ever being told was why, if this is the case, we have
floor() and do not have round(). Also why we could not have both, and why
floor() cannot be hardcoded to be intel:machine_round(x-.5) [pseudocode]
