Hey everyone,

Sorry about not replying sooner. I'll make a sketch and put it up in a few minutes. We've been really slammed and I've gotten to the point of frustration with this entire project. I'll be back in a couple of minutes.

Many apologies,

Right; my algorithm detects approximate encirclement the way I've seen in many games, where reversing direction or being too far away from the encircled object "cancels" the encirclement. Like seen in various 3D platformers, such as Soul Reaver, Super Mario 64, or Banjo-Kazooie. It's certainly not a general-purpose algorithm, by any means.

Hey Everyone,

I actually can't post a sketch of the gameplay, because of legality issues. Well I've decided that I could treat my object like a clock. Once my minute hand crosses my hour hand I have passed the area I need to go in. However I need to figure out if I went clockwise or counter clock wise. I've been using Atan2 to get the side of my side that I am on. Am I on the right track?

Thanks,
