Gravity waves are disturbances in the gravitational pull experienced at … , which are caused by the motions of large masses. Gravity is completely explained by the effects of relativity and the… motion of space through the time dimension. Gravity is the drag induced when motion through time tries to… Re: Gravity Waves 17 Years Ago by Rashakil Fol "gravity" isn't a wave -- in the same sense, electric fields are not waves. It's variations in gravitational fields that propagate. For example, the variations in gravitational fields created by a binary star system, or by the Sun-Earth system. Re: Gravity Waves 17 Years Ago by sk8ndestroy14 Gravity waves still exist, just as electromagnetic waves exist. The thing is that we don't know a whole lot about it. Just like we don't know a whole lot about electromagnetic waves: why they act as waves and particles, but we still call them waves because of their characteristics.

If you know anything post it here. Re: gravity in dark gdk 14 Years Ago by mrnutty What exactly do you mean? If you have an object moving, and you want gravity to account for its movement, then you can just do this : [code] const float GRAVITY = -9.8; ball.x += ball.velocity.x * dt; ball.y += ball.velocity.y + GRAVITY * dt; [/code] Those follow from basic Newtonian equation. gravity, acceleration 13 Years Ago by nuclear …'m using frame independent movement, everything works fine with no gravity or acceleration: [CODE]boxOffsetY += yVel * ( DELTA.get_ticks() / 1000.f );[/CODE… frame rate i use.

P.S by gravity i mean that it accelerates, it doesnt stay the same until the Player reaches the ground.

Good Luck gravity in dark gdk 14 Years Ago by uhmyeah i am pretty new to c++ and dark gdk. im trying to make a simple platform game to start off. i have the basic controls down, the animations, and collision. but i am having much trouble finding how to create the effects of gravity. please help. Re: gravity in dark gdk 14 Years Ago by nbaztec Parabolic trajectory is nothing but a velocity vector under the influence of non-perpendicular deceleration(gravity). Gravity Form Entries 9 Years Ago by Stephano How to pass gravity form entries to other multiple forms. i have a registration form that users enter their details. now i have 2 other forms that have some similar fields to the registration form. now i want those similar fields in these 2 other forms to be auto filled with the entries given at registration. gravity form auto populate drop down 9 Years Ago by Stephano Iam using gravity forms. I have a registration form that people fill in,the form has both entry fields and drop down fields. i want to capture the entries that they enter in the drop down fields because there is another form that has similar fields, and would not want them to enter the values again.

Best Regards Harry Vested Gravity Collection Re: plz help with gravity in java applet 12 Years Ago by JamesCherrill Somewhere you should have a method that executes at regular intervals (eg 30 per second) to update the position according to the velocity. (A javax.swing.Timer is the best way to do that.)

I never have.. so I have to do research about these topics online, and I am always surprised, amazed, and confused at my findings lol.. But yea, I don't know much about this other from the relativistic standpoint.. and I'm going to be an engineer major next year.. pff lol Re: Gravity Waves 17 Years Ago by sk8ndestroy14 Yeah, well the seniors at my school get our a few days early and since my Physics Honors class is primarily meant for seniors the juniors in that class take the finals with them and then the last few days its just us and we talk about stuff like theoretical physics. If you find anything with your research post it here.
