Comments on: Know where a Point is relevant to a Segment http://keith-hair.net/blog/2009/05/28/know-where-a-point-is-relevant-to-a-segment/ Scripting is fun like any other hobby Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:17:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Keith H http://keith-hair.net/blog/2009/05/28/know-where-a-point-is-relevant-to-a-segment/comment-page-1/#comment-745 Keith H Fri, 25 Jun 2010 22:18:17 +0000 http://keith-hair.net/blog/?p=68#comment-745 Frank, I came up with this myself. Your Left and and Right ears allow you to know where a sound is located in relation to your position. Both your ears compare distance and angle of the sound to know if the sound is behind, front, left, right (or top and bottom) of the center point between them. ...well that's how I think it works. Do a web search on how an Owl hears and locate objects in space, that's even more interesting. As for the circle and line intersection functions, there's plenty of information online in various programming languages that where easy enough to translate into an AS3 one. After figuring out one thing figuring out other problems become clearer. Frank,

I already reformed and used the intersect functions (circle on line, line on line) and will use this one too if you don't mind. I was wondering where you find those functions. Do you make them yourself or do you check some math examples. Nice one.
