y=mx+b

i'm looking for the best way to move a ball on a
angle with velocity
I think i could use y = mx + b or somthing

eg.
angle = 90:velocity = 1
this will send the ball up slowly.
(i don't want to say ware the ball will go just the angle)

Code:

---

vy=sin(angle)*Velocity
Vx=cos(angle)*Velocity

well you move the ball like with a velocity vector, add the velocity component x and y to the ball coordinates.

No that's a equation for a linear thing!
you should use something like y =x*x

or you could use a 'ballistic' equation.

Misantrop, ballistical equations are quite too complicated for this case

this is starting to work

Velocity = 1
ang = 90 * 3.14159
Do
X = Shape2(1).Left
y = Shape2(1).Top

X = X + Sin(ang)
y = y + Cos(ang)

Shape2(1).Left = X
Shape2(1).Top = y

For n = 1 To 1000
DoEvents
Next n
a = a + 1
Loop Until a = 1000

wait a minute, you have to convert pi/180 degrees to get radians:

Code:

---

ang = 90 * 3.14159 /180
