How many pixels will translate to 1 km?

| Does anyone remember the old dos game: Gorilla? There were 2 gorillas on top of randomly generated sky scrapers, and you had to throw banannas at one another to win. You had to type in the angle and speed to throw the bananna. The speed works in killo-metres(KM), not pixels. So if you type in the speed as 50, it will go slower then if it were pixels. angle = 30 speed = 50 ;vspeed=speed*sin(angle) vspeed#=0 hspeed#=speed*Cos(angle) That's what I got so far. -Thanks |

| You will just have to decide how many pixels will make up a kilometer then calculate a scaleing factor... example: 5 pixels per meter pixels_per_meter# = 5 scale_factor# = pixels_per_meter# / 1000 then to calculate Vspeed and Hspeed: Vspeed# = (speed * scale_factor#) * SIN(angle) Hspeed# = (speed * scale_factor#) * COS(angle) |

| Just make them naked then the distance will be a lot less, particularly if they are ford mountain gorillas. |
| ||
| Why can't the naked ford gorillas be friendly anyway? Why must they hurt each other when they can just be lovers. |
| ||
| Sweet lovers, peeling each others bannanas tenderly and with care. Like husband ape and wife ape. Perhaps they can make a nest on the same tower? |
| ||
| no no now the two towers don't make sence... |
| ||
| A little bit off topic.... |
| ||
| Whatever, just try with random factors until it fits your expectations. And by the way, how to make explosive bananas? |

| dist=3000 ;m distance beetween the 2 apes (3km) ape1x=10 ;x pixel coordinate of ape1 ape2x=60 ;x pixel coordinate of ape2 distpix=abs(ape1x-ape2x); distance in pixel beetween the 2 apes pixfactor=(dist/distpix); distance of 1 pixel in meters |
