MonoGame uses radians, right? I thought it did. Anyway, here’s the problem:
So, the path of this unit is the blue line. At the end of it’s path, the unit should be facing approximately north, but it’s facing east, instead.
I’m taking the last and the 15th from the last points on the calculated path and using this formula:
Thank you so much! That’s what I get for googling “C# angle to radians”, grabbing something off of GitHub and not really looking at it. I so miss coding with a partner and having another set of eyes. Thank you again!
Nez has some helper math to deal with this stuff… What always gets me is Y is going down. the clockwise and winding conventions to… since we learn trig with Y up + its gets confusng.

thinly veiled? Stack Exchange is the most gamified , egoist, living in moms basement, post grad but unemployable, anti Einstein, incel -infested rote learning site for ****…never mmind some of the very basic programming questions have half decent answers … one gjy was trying to link to a c lib to c# to normalize some vectors. i suggested porting the c lib to c# and using numerics lib and SIMD and compex numbers not using the c lib and arrays… Downvoted. -10 for not answering the dll import question exactly. on Natural philosophy and physics, downvoted for totally relevant ontological points in 4D cosmology , quoting Eisntein adn Hawking in a sort of discussion (there are no right answers or socratic dialogs unless u got tonsof points) dont ever contribute to them. they might have an answer or two but old and not open to new approches, presence of females, wild or new ideas that are relevant but the downvoters lack the imagination to make the connection. Einstein or Hawking would have like -666 score in physcs on there, if he was still “moving”. tI think we all miss coding with other some eyes, preferably in the room, covid screwed that up…sorry for the rant its summer, venting frustration at being at computer, behind schedule.
