RotationMatrix

Introduction

The RotationMatrix property is a property that represents the full rotation of an IRotatable. The information contained in RotationMatrix combines the information of FlatRedBall.Math.IRotatable.RotationX, FlatRedBall.Math.IRotatable.RotationY, and FlatRedBall.Math.IRotatable.RotationZ.

Vector Components

The Matrix object contains numerous Vector3 properties which can be used to extract direction values. For example, the following code can be used to move a car forward in 2D space, assuming that the un-rotated car faces up:

CarInstance.Velocity = CarInstance.RotationMatrix.Up * CarInstance.Speed;
