Thanks, Lucas! Glad you enjoyed it. For you, the problem may be laziness. For me, it’s white-knuckled fear.

Very nice article. Sometimes it isn’t that hard to do basic maths, maybe we are just lazy :)

Hi there Ryan. Too bad about your fear for numbers, they are really not that bad. I’m actually kinda surprised that I read through the whole thing as I’m awsome at math :D anyway, I found an equation that might be misunderstood, thought you might wanted to change it from this:
dot.x == character.x/background.width*miniMap.width;
to this:
dot.x == (character.x/background.width)*miniMap.width;
Just to make everything clear.
