Questions about velocities and accelerations

[eldacar]

The spd() will return the speed/velocity of an object as a tuple. Is there any way to then set the velocity of an object as a tuple? If I understand correctly, add_angle_speed() will only add speed in the direction of the object.
Is there a corresponding function to spd() that will return the acceleration of an object?

Well you could make an second object of the specified object. The first object will be accerlerating to a specified speed, and then it dieds and spawns the second object that is having the speed of the first object, but is deccerlerating to a specified speed.

If I had an object moving 10 to the right (->) saved the angle, then changed the angle to up (^) and added 10 to the speed with add_angle_speed, and then changed the angle back to the right, what would happen? Would the object be point to the right, but moving at 14.142 to the top-right?

Exactly that. Sorry about ignoring you the other day btw ;>

No prob

What are angles measured in btw? Degrees/radians? Where is 0 and which way is positive (if that makes any sense).

Oh, and it would be helpful if the default console variables values could be added to the docs.

degrees, 0 is up 90º is right etc..

EDIT: Hmm.. wait a second.. I made a mistake add_angle_speed wont add speed in the direction the object aims, it will add to the angular speed.
