During maths when i got bored i started thinking 'bout cogs (i hadnt even opened a cog for over 10 days) and wondered what sort of math could be done in cogs if we wanted to. Though i wonder if it would be worth doing it.

Like, working math calculations just for the purpose of doing the math? Probably not worth doing. There are much better and simpler ways.

you can add multiply subtract devide, you cant do root functions, you might be able to figure out a way to do Sin Cos Tan...ect.....its really not practical

A great way to do sin cos tan is by using sin cos and tan, respectively

It's the inverse trig functions that aren't available.

just an idea that i got, just thought ill post it and see if its worth it.

hmm..fardreamer...so there is a way to get sin cos tan? Interesting...we could create reflective projectiles (reflecting more than twice) if we took the vector of the proj and the surf normal of the wall, then divide the vectordot by the vectordot of the absolute values, which would result the cos of the angle. Argg, we need invcos here.

Why don't you create a JK Calculator room. Set up a large room with all the calculator buttons - Kyle then runs around pressing buttons to enter the figures and your cog then displays the answer

I had an idea once. To make a mod, with 15 or so hotkeys. (Hmm, that might not be possible.. Oh well) Which would be assigned to the numerical keypad on your keyboard. Pressing one of those buttons would send a trigger to a main cog, that would run the actual calculations, and output the answer to the console.

heh

You need arccos for any sort of angle calculations, since the only way to retrieve angles is with the dot product.

An easy way to work around this problem, while not perfect, is to make predefined settings for angels, i.e.

if (ThingViewDot(a, b) <= -0.9) angle = 180;
