chingu_vectors

Enables you to place and move your game objects via vectors. Also speed and hastening are not declared as pixels per frame but in pixels per second.

Get it

You know how you get it:

gem install chingu_vectors

Use it

After require "chingu_vectors" The trait :vectors is available:

class Player < Chingu::GameObject

    trait :vectors

    #This method will make the player move 20 pixes left per second
    def move_left
        self.speed = [0,-20]
    end

end

Another example

This would be a method that lets a ball follow another ball ("follow") nice and smoothly. See example b for how it looks def update radii = size + follow.size link = (follow.position - position) if link.length < radii self.speed = Vector::ZERO else link = link - link.normalize * radii # Connection between edges self.speed = link * Game.speed end end
