Operators: Mathematical

Objective

Students must use mathematical operators to perform calculations for game physics and positioning.

Evidence

Mathematical calculations in game components:

• Ghost.js - Math.hypot(dx, dy) for distance calculation
• Ghost.js - Speed calculations with multiplication and division
• Multiple classes - Physics calculations (gravity, velocity, collision)

Implementation Details

• Basic operators: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/)
• Modulo (%) for remainder calculations
• Exponentiation (**) for power calculations
• Math object functions (Math.hypot, Math.sqrt, Math.abs, etc.)
• Operator precedence and parentheses

Key Concepts

• Arithmetic operators and precedence
• Math object methods: Math.sqrt, Math.abs, Math.floor, Math.random, etc.
• Distance calculations with Pythagorean theorem
• Velocity and acceleration calculations
• Rounding and truncating numbers
