Python 2.7 - Pygame - intersecting two moving sprites -


i've got 2 sprites (well... 3). 1 sprite traveling in straight line @ steady speed @ random angle (in radians). other sprite shooting @ moving sprite. projectile sprite lands behind target because projectile given destination based on center of target when it's fired. have update, silly if projectile changed directions homing missile.

so, how on earth go this? 

class projectile (pygame.sprite.sprite):      container = pygame.sprite.group()      def __init__ (self, pos, target):         pygame.sprite.sprite.__init__ (self, self.container)          self.image = fireball         self.rect = self.image.get_rect()         self.rect.center = pos         self.true_loc = self.rect.center         self.destination = target.rect.center         self.speed = 200         diffx = self.destination[0]-self.rect.center[0]         diffy = self.destination[1]-self.rect.center[1]         self.angle = math.atan2(diffx, diffy)      def combinecoords (self, coord1, coord2):          return map(sum, zip(*[coord1, coord2]))      def update (self, time_passed):          new_move = (math.sin(self.angle) * time_passed * self.speed,                     math.cos(self.angle) * time_passed * self.speed)         self.true_loc = self.combinecoords(self.true_loc, new_move)         self.rect.center = self.true_loc

the target class instance same thing specific class attributes needs. specifically, don't know how calculate distance target travel based off it's angle , speed based on distance projectile has travel there. both have varying speeds , angles. should have paid attention in math class...

edit: dawned on me it's going trickier anticipated, dynamically move sprites based on player's framerate. attempting calculate distance between projectile , target.center, divide number how many frames pass until reaches it's destination, update self.destination moving target's angle multiplying it's movement , frames. method if player's screen hitches whatever reason (which common) projectile miss. great... i'm square one, haha.

if fix timestep, have stability in physics. can keep variable video framerate, constant timestep physics.

the famous fix-your timestep link http://gafferongames.com/game-physics/fix-your-timestep/ , pygame example: http://www.pygame.org/wiki/constantgamespeed?parent=cookbook

theres's bunch of info , sublinks @ https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/4995/predicting-enemy-position-in-order-to-have-an-object-lead-its-target

jquery - How can I dynamically add a browser tab? -

since using iframes house external pages are, accounts "not preferred method" , disallowed sites (flickr, one), want dynamically generate browser tabs. e.g., when user submits form, want dynamically generate tab on browser in response submitted. e.g., might want add new tab url like: http://www.bigsurgarrapata.com/contact how in jquery? you want form target attribute action attribute. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_form_target.asp browsers have ultimate control on result of target attribute open new tab value of _blank. <form action="contact_submit.php" target="_blank" method="post">

keyboard - C++ GetAsyncKeyState alternative -

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua
