(a2 * b) + c – d
1. a2
2. * b
3. + c
4. – d
a / A = x / X
| a | b | |
| — | = | — |
| A | B |
You’re trying to solve x. You have to cross-multiply. Be mindful of order of operations.
x * A = a * X x = a * X / A
Because I’m so nice, I coded up a very basic proportions calculator for you. Give it a try now!

Let me explain the bare minimum concepts behind getting your first 2D game engine up and running in Nokia’s Qt envirnoment. (more…)
3D game development gets into another dimension of complexity, literally. But sometimes simple is better. Let’s see some simple math equations and structures used in 2D game development. (more…)
