c# - how to move point a given distance d (and get a new coordinates)
Hi I was wondering if there is any efficent way to calculating coordinates of point (which was moved distance d from it's original location). Let's say I have a point P(0.3,0.5) and I need to move that point random direction with distance d. So far I did it by random picking new x and y coordinates and I was checking if distance between old and new point equals d. I do realize that is't too eficient way to do that. How would You do it ?? Given a point (x1, y1) , we want to find a "random" point (x2, y2) at a distance d from it. Pick a random angle theta . Then: x2 = x1 + d * cos(theta) y2 = y1
