How do you apply certain Algorithims or math terms (etc..) such as ATAN2 which is in the mathfunction dump in the roblox wiki or certain asthmatically formulas to scripts. Like i learned geometry recently yet all they teach me is how cos = adjacent/hypotenuse and etc...
Like how does scripters like xSoulstealerx apply certain algorithims and etc... to script and how can i learn how to apply certain math terms and etc.. to scripts my self.?
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Function_dump/Mathematical_functions This has all the functions under math.* and such.
There aren't specific ways to "apply" a formula or algorithm to something since you could do it many different ways.
An example algorithm:
x = y + 2
Both x and y are variables in both programming and mathematical terms. You can manipulate them in whatever way you want using x = *number* and this will change the outcome of the equation.
That is not an algorithm.
BlueTaslem is correct, those examples you game are not algorithms.
However, I believe the answer of your question of how to use math functions is simple:
angle = math.atan2(x,y)
Just use math. to get at the math functions.

Equations / formulas / mathematical functions are NOT algorithms. Algorithms are methods to compute something, NOT the computation itself.
