World coordinates

#1 Left -> Right = -50 -> 50
Top -> Bottom = -35 -> 35

Pixel to unit conversion isn't really possible as the coordinates will remain the same regardless of resolution

#2 You can set the world units to whatever you want, just so you know. But we provide a good default recommended size.

Using pixels as game units is a very bad idea most of the time. Unless you plan to allow your players to only play at one screenres, using pixels as world units really complicates the programming involved.

#3 Pablo,

Anthony posted a piece of code here that I have been using to show me world positions. It links to another thread that goes over other things too.

I don't know if you want this stuff for ingame changes or to better place things on the screen, but it works really good

#4 Thanks a lot everyone, I want this specially to keep thing proporcionate, when I load pngs into sprites(in the basic tutorial) there's a change in their proportions, I just wanted to understand this so I could keep them proportionate.

Thanks every1

PD. is there any function to calculate the angle between two points? I know I can make this with baqsci trigonometry, but just wondering.

#5 I've a similar question: How do I determine speeds?
If I set the X speed to 40, what does that mean? Speed is distance over time, so is it 40 logical units per second?

#6 40 units per second, yes.

#7 Yes it is Lennart. :)
