Hi everybody,
plz i want a openGL code to make a flag seems fly(flap)
plz its very important...

[roxtar]

You could take the flag to be two parallel sine waves which shift their phase a little bit in each frame.

for(phase=0;phase<360;phase++) {

 for(theta=0;theta<360;theta++) {

  x=(theta+phase)*PI/180;

  y1=sin(x);

  y2=sin(x)+y_trans;

  plot pixel at x,y1 and x,y2

 }

 clear screen

}

This may not be too exact but I hope you got the idea. There surely must be better ways to do this also.

thanx but i need more information

[monjardin]

The book "Physics for Game Developers" from O'Reilly has an example.
Didn't you just post this question a few days ago?

[eddie]

This sounds sneakily like a homework project.

[monjardin]

You aren't the first to think this. He cross posted this question two weeks ago:
http://www.devmaster...read.php?t=4586
http://www.devmaster...read.php?t=4588
And bladder already gave him an answer.

[ramzi085]

but i didnt get any reply that answer my question!!!

[Axel]

Don't feed the troll.

ramzi085:

You didn't ask a very good question.

roxtar gave you a fantastic answer, and yet all you ask is, "I need more information". If you can't at least tell us what you're missing, how the hell can we help you?

If you're looking for the entire thing written out for you, you're going to find it a hard time to get what you're looking for: very few people are going to spoon feed you this.

This might help ...

eddie i do my best in this project but i dont know how can make the flag seems fly thats all and i need simple code for that in 2d and i will do like it thats all
thanx anyway

[eddie]

That's fine ramzi, but you should really learn to ask good questions. Large vague questions are hard to answer, and often frustrate the people on this forum.

If you could limit it a specific area you're having issue with, even if it's, "I have to do x, y, and z, and I'm not sure where to start. Should I do x first? Or y? Or z?". Better yet, if you can experiment some and say, "I've tried x,y,z and I've got it mostly, but I'm really stuck with y. How do I do step 3 in y?".

Those will yield you the best results.

Hey... Go to nehe.gamedev.net There is a waving flag tutorial there...

wht does y_trans refer to???
thnx in advance

[Reedbeta]

In this case, y_trans is the height of the flag.

ok..thnx a lot :yes:

[XORcist]

I hope, we are finally done with waving flag thing. :sneaky:

good luck ramzie, kgkg, ... :yes:
