  • I need to display a point on an x/y axis

    Posted by Chris Gulliford on September 12, 2014 at 4:36 pm

    The x and the y will come from two arrays or one array that every other item is either the x or the y component. The point will move every six frames (30 fms). I’ve got a solution for handling the time element, but have no idea now to accomplish setting the point.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    I guess I’d do it something like this:

    posArray = [0,100,100,200,200,300];
    idx = Math.min(Math.floor(timeToFrames(time)/6)*2,posArray.length-2);
    [posArray[idx],posArray[idx+1]]
