Vector Tutorials

[walesmd]

This isn't Lua/LOVE specific but I thought it could help some people out. I found a really good article on Vector Fundamentals.

If this isn't the place for this, by all means let me know - it just seemed as if the Wiki was very LOVE-centric and, reading many of the posts on these forums, I think some generic, back-to-basics, tutorials/articles could be helpful as well.

Wolfire also wrote up an excellent set of posts on vectors and other math'y stuff as it pertains to game development.

Be sure not to miss this article as well: http://www.devmag.org.za/articles/245-B ... ES/#topall It takes the mathematical concepts explained in the first article and shows how they can be applied in programming.

EDIT: Holy crap, this is a gold mine! http://www.devmag.org.za/tags/explanation/ there's stuff on vectors, trigonometry and 2d collision testing.
