This lecture has me puzzled, I did not impregnate on much knowledge

I’ve done this one several times and it now seems safe to assume that I have more difficulty understanding math content like this.

Concepts that penetrated:

  • Amplitude
  • Period
  • Cycles
  • Sin-s, and why they make for a smoother movement than left<->right.
  • The fact that Mathf is a thing I can use

What I copied without very much interiorizing it:

  • The sintax of Mathf.Sin ( cycles * tau )
  • The actual logic behind the actual code ( as for how we code the smothness )

It overall felt that I have missed a class in between or something.
I will probably go back several times over this one in hopes to get to understand it. :frowning:

Hello Manu, I got confused too. This site recommended in another post helped me a lot https://www.desmos.com/calculator/nqfu5lxaij, in the left bar, try adding sin functions with values between parenthesis from 0 -> 2.

example:

  • sin(0)
  • sin(0.1)
  • sin(0.2)
    .
    .
    .

Then you will be able to visualize how the result fluctuates between 0 and 1, and how the fluctuation acts according to Time.time, hence the smoothness in the animation. Hope I helped buddy !
