Does any 1 now how to use sin or cos in a game at the moment i am using
a bit of code i have borrowed which involves look up tables and i don't
understand it ( it from amatuer wars and uses a >>12 thing in it ) . i
have also looked at the section in the libary reference but like the
rest of the book it means nothing to me . if anyone know's which is
faster look up tables or the sin function please tell me .
here is my attempt so far at using lookup tables

#include <libps.h>
#include "sincos.h"

int main()
{

int adjacent,oppisate,angle;

angle = 32;

adjacent = (SIN[angle]*10);
oppisate = (COS[angle]*10);

printf("A triangle has a angle of %d\n",angle);
printf("and a hypotonuse of 10 so!!\n");
printf("so it's adjacent side is %d long\n",adjacent);
printf("and its oppisate side is %d long\n\n",oppisate);


return 0;
}
