PHP vectors

[zed_katarn]

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a simple game using php, and i want to calculate the x and y speeds of an object traveling from its current position to a point (x,y).

For example:

A ship with a speed of 400m/s travelling to a point 20x and -400y from its current location would need (x) m/s on the x direction, and (y) m/s on the y direction.

I'm not a physicist and most of the help i have found on the internet involves other languages.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
K

I'm no physicist either, but if you can find some example code in a different language, it shouldn't be too hard to convert into PHP syntax...
