Description

This is a digital representation of an analog altimeter, usually found in planes.

This plugin was made in advance of Deep Dip 2. This version is a MVP and is still WIP.

Later improvements:

• [ ] Improving this README by adding details about texture sizes
• [ ] Making all textures customizable
• [ ] Make sense of the Units

Code

The code used in this plugin is heavialy inspired by the Speedometer plugin made by Greep.

Textures

The original textures for this plugin is made by Marek Cel. I have modified the backplate of the altimeter by removing some text elements and the callibration scale.

Brains

2D, trigonometry, visual programming, translation and rotation is not my strong suit.

I almost gave up on getting this ready before the start of Deep Dip 2 when the pointers in the altimeter was rotating all over my screen.

Until I remembered that Daniel Shiffman has a great YouTube channel where he teaches aspects of visual programming. And I wasn't dissapointed! Even though he teaches P5.js he explained exactly what I struggled with in this YouTube video.
