Let us type in movement

Abelysk · 2017-10-24 00:00:13

Instead of using WASD can we just type in /w, /a, /s, or /d in chat? It will help us type faster eventually and get us prepared for coding. I think this idea fits with the general programming community of EE. for example you type in /w 2, /a 34, /s 1, /d 44 to go left 2 tiles, up 34 tiles, down 1 tile, right 44 tiles.

Thoughts? Woots please?

What about /move x y xs ys xm ym xd yd g sp spj tick

Master1 · 2017-10-24 00:53:30

good suggest

can we also have negatives
/w -5 - move down 5 blocks
/a -5 - move right 5 blocks
/s -5 - move up 5 blocks
/d -5 - move left 5 blocks

??????

seems very USE

How about diagonal movement? There's a lot of untapped potential right here, and I'm surprised it took this long for somebody to suggest this.

Abelysk · 2017-10-24 01:58:11

For diagonal movement you don't include a comma between two directional commands. "/w 22 /a 22" will move a player northwest 22 tiles. Adding a comma in between those two will cause a player to go up 22 times, then left 22 times.

just use sine and cosine noob

what about /wa, /wd, /sa, /sd <x,y>

Nice idea but needs to be more streamlined. We already have Backspace hotkeyed in to /PM <whoever>, so let's hotkey W A S D to /w /a /s /d.

Wait so your saying instead of making it easy and using the WASD keys you have to manually type it in the chat! You may as well just teleport. The only use I can see in this is if ur trying to evenly space blocks apart, but you may as well just teleport.

i am a contractile typist which means i contract when i type so i really like contracting therefore by the law of syllables i really like typing

so your argument is invalidated bc imo typing out wasd keys via backslash letter commands and therefore by the law of sylables it's easier than using my arrow keys

also do you notice things keep going over your head??? play solitaire to imrpove spatial awareness (especially when things keep going over your head (by the law of syllogism of cour))

What if I want curved movement? /d 10 /w x^2 ??

drunkbnu

Abelysk · 2017-10-25 00:47:04

For curved movement you have to use decimals

in that case you may as well define the path of your motion by a function y(x) and then find your movement probably as a function of time but who am I to say?

here we'll set a to the current x pos and b remains unknown. Then we solve this integral so that we have essentially our end point b in terms of the length we want s. The trick will be when you introduce nonelementary functions to integrate.

edit: I suppose for motion we'd have to then just subdivide the interval from A to B by however many frames we care to use... then just plug the x in... and if the command overlaps another then you'd probably need to just overwrite the old path... how would you even consolidate the two? average two points?

edit 2: no we wouldn't subdivide A to B, we'd subdivide L and plug it into our equation to find our endpoint B again nvm.

I am out of this. (also it's too much work)
