Title: How would you do pendulum movement?
Post by: baguettio on March 23, 2020, 08:32:47 pm

Trying to make the player swing on a pendulum with the mouse on a right-click being the pivot, so far managed to find the distance between the player and the mouse, the angle, and from that the pendulum period and frequency. How do I use these to calculate velocity?

That's pretty much just a math/physics problem. Maybe you're lucky and someone has recently done something similar, but this is probably best ask somewhere else that focuses more on math in games. ;)

Ok. I'm willing to give you one pointer:
