Hello,
Looks simple enough, a little trigonometry. I'd need to know the types of the fields, which ones block the view and do you consider a field visible if all of it is visible or some part(configurable percentage) is enough. I assume the fields are squares, not rectangles, and that all of the field is blocking the view, not just say a circle inside it. I can do it that latter way too, but it would require more work, for both you and me.
If you wish me to fit this into your data structures and variable names, you'd need to send me some part of your code (vars declarations).
I suppose you need a function like
Function VisibleFrom(ThisField As Field, ThatField as Field) As Boolean
or at least that is what I was able to figure out from your bid request. What is supposed to be in the module besides that function?
Also, if speed is an issue, I can make a C++ dll(VB takes 60% more time for same job than C++ does) but you'd need to maintain dll's internal image of the fields too. Which sounds more complicated than it is. It would be adding one line of code where you're writing data to your own vars, just pass a copy to dll. The C++ dll, if you want it at all, would be another $5.
I'm pretty good in these small and quick jobs, you can see my ratings and what other buyers told about me.
Looking forward to working with you.
Boban. |
