    Hi everyone. I am currently working on combining my existing Box2D "3D physics" building blocks to get a working 3D "box" collision. The idea is to have a combination of what I'm calling "linear" and "angular" pieces, between which you smoothly transition. The linear pieces work fine, but at...

    GML Find Point on Rotated Ellispe Sprite Contour

    What formula would find the contour (aka edge) of a rotating ellipse shaped sprite (assume a center origin) starting from the sprite center and in the direction usually of the image angle? I know lengthdir_x(len,dir) and lengthdir_y(len,dir) would work for a circle sprite, or on a non rotating...

    How do I get the "depth = -y" effect in a rotatable view?

    This is probably basic trigonometry but I have tried and failed. I would like to know "how far up" a point is in the view, even though "up" is no longer -y, since the view may be rotated. Thank you for any help or resources, unfortunately the ones I found did not help me since I did not...
