Trigonometry Functions in GBDK
There is probably a rather elegant solution to this, but for the life of me I am unable to find any form of trig functions in gbdk – with the "math.h" library not included (probably missing something). Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Trigonometry Functions in GBDK
I know the GB's computational capabilities are extremely limited, even multiplication and division are not natively supported by the hardware. I'd imagine that there are no available libraries available for these complex mathematical operations, but there's no reason you can't write your own using addition subtraction. Would be an interesting project.

Re: Trigonometry Functions in GBDK
You can see an example of using a sine/cosine lookup table in C with GBStudio's source code:

Re: Trigonometry Functions in GBDK
If you *really* need trig functions, e.g. for a calculator program, there's GBDK-3.
It's a fork of GBDK with an updated SDCC and a full math library.
I found it here: http://www.rrsd.com/software_developmen … velopment/
One thing to note: This tool is basically completely unsupported. It works, but don't expect any help from anyone.
