I can follow along, but still do not completely understand when those functions are applicable in games (trying to avoid just memorizing code). I was wondering if anyone know where there are some good resources that goes over this and how it is applied to games. I believe this functions could be beneficial in creating a Field Goal kicking game, where one bar bounces back forth on the…
