Calculate Distance using Coordinates

Calculating distance between coordinates



After doing little research(absolutely no research) I claimed to have created something even though all that I truly did was calculate distance using equirectangular projection(someone had already done that many years ago).


I did 3d models and tried to explain as simple as I could what I had in my brain. Then exported it as PDF and uploaded it here so that all of you can access the document.


Then I downloaded a Geo JSON file from a website and used its coordinates and the previously mentioned mathematical method to generate a 2d map of the earth in svg format and hosted it on github pages. Full source code for generating the map is available here.

If you happen to use dart programming language and would like to use this mathematical method check out my library so that you don't have to go through all the work all over again.

Counting in Hexadecimal

When searching for how to convert decimal numbers to hexadecimal it may seem like a daunting task. Until you learn about modulo . The easiest way for me to count in Hex is by counting in decimal and converting to Hexadecimal using the modulo operator(like a programmer). First you divide the decimal number by 16 Math.floor() the Division Result Find the Division Remainder using modulo Divide the number of your Division Result by 16 Repeat the previous steps until your Division Result is 0 For this example we will use the decimal number 53 Divide Division Result Division Remainder 53 / 16 Math.floor(3.3125) = 3 53 % 16 = 5 3 / 16 Math.floor(0.1875) = 0 3 % 16 = 3 We take the remainders going from the latest remainder to the one we got first. In this case 3 5 (the order is important). Then we use this table to translate the remainders into hex Decimal value Hex Equivalent 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 10...

Get started on animation

I've always been curious about how animations work and how one day I could be able to make one. One day I decided to look for 3d animation courses online and ended up paying for one that was rated as one of the best online courses. Here I leave a list that hopefully might get you get started.     First things first: Download an animation software like the ones listed below(they're entirely free) Blender 3d Pencil2d   Synfig Studio(2d animation)   Take a course that can help you get started: My favorite course from GameDev.tv Blender Enviroment Artist: Create 3d Worlds https://cgboost.com/ Software for texturing: Armor Paint Blender 3d Free PBR textures and HDRIs: ambientCG Poly Haven Textures Websites: 3Dassets.one Share Textures http://texturelib.com/ https://pixabay.com/ https://unsplash.com/ https://www.pexels.com/ Poliigon Textures Textures.com Let your imagination fly     Check out the simple animations that I was able to make after dedicating a couple...
