How do you calculate acceleration in a time based animation? the basic formula I am using for the linear animation is newloc = elapsedTime * vector / overallTime + startloc -- thanks to Darrel Plant but I am stumped when it comes to including the math involved in the acceleration Gravity acceleration is itself a time-based formula, the standard simple form is: accel (t) = 32 ft / (t * t) (or 9.8m / (t * t) ) That's usually referred to as g. Acceleration doesn't tell the whole story, though. What's more useful is the distance travelled in free fall: From: Fumio Nonaka <nonaka@attainj.co.jp> Organization: Attain Corporation Subject: Re: Fast-start 7 projector [was: Fatal error on NT] To: DIRECT-L@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU X-UIDL: bf516c6ba7872ec05bfff7a6abbd376f Hi, Thank you all who replyed to my post. I found information about DLLs in Microsoft's web site as the below. _____ Warren 'The Howdy Man' Ockrassa wrote: > Gads, I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds that note absurd.

For example, if MSVCRT.dll or MFC40.dll are installed in an application's directory, but not in the system directory as expected, the application will not see the DLLs even though they exist in the same directory. CAUSE Windows 98 defines a registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\SessionManager\KnownDLLs If a .dll name is placed under this registry setting, Windows 98 only looks in the system directory for that file. This enhances performance. If you remove the registry key, Windows 98 will find the DLL in the application directory. RESOLUTION Remove the registry key for the DLL if this is a problem. STATUS This behavior is by design. ==========
