Title: More Q's!!!!!!!
Post by: NUTTZ on January 18, 2002, 08:01:27 PM

why does HTC use -+3,1416 as a full flip and not 180 degrees, I didn't excell in Math, but degrees would of been alittle easier to a layman like myself. Or is it a coding thing i wouldn't understand?...

hehehe i can feel the answer already:)

Hello Nuttz

I thought the same thing.  Also thought it looked like pi but thought pi = 3.1414  but its 3.141592......
