Rotating wheel with touch adding velocity
- by Lewis
I have a wheel control in a game which is setup like so:
- (void)ccTouchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:[touch view]];
location = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] convertToGL:location];
if (CGRectContainsPoint(wheel.boundingBox, location))
{
CGPoint firstLocation = [touch previousLocationInView:[touch view]];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:[touch view]];
CGPoint touchingPoint = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] convertToGL:location];
CGPoint firstTouchingPoint = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] convertToGL:firstLocation];
CGPoint firstVector = ccpSub(firstTouchingPoint, wheel.position);
CGFloat firstRotateAngle = -ccpToAngle(firstVector);
CGFloat previousTouch = CC_RADIANS_TO_DEGREES(firstRotateAngle);
CGPoint vector = ccpSub(touchingPoint, wheel.position);
CGFloat rotateAngle = -ccpToAngle(vector);
CGFloat currentTouch = CC_RADIANS_TO_DEGREES(rotateAngle);
wheelRotation += (currentTouch - previousTouch) * 0.6; //limit speed 0.6
}
}
I update the rotation of a the wheel in the update method by doing:
wheel.rotation = wheelRotation;
Now once the user lets go of the wheel I want it to rotate back to where it was before but not without taking into account the velocity of the swipe the user has done. This is the bit I really can't get my head around. So if the swipe generates a lot of velocity then the wheel will carry on moving slightly in that direction until the overall force which pulls the wheel back to the starting position kicks in.
Any ideas/code snippets?
