WalkingMotion is a class library that generates 2D pseudo human walking motion by a combination of a couple of trigonometric functions.
See the demo page.
An instance of the Walker class has the following PVector variables:
headshoulderwaistarms[][]legs[][]
head, shoulder and waist are obvious. arms[0][0] provides the position of the joint of his right arm, and arms[0][1] provides the position of his right hand. legs[1][0] provides the joint of his left leg, and so on.
In order to update the posture of the walker, call update(float phase). Walking motion is a periodic function for phase 0.0-1.0.
X coordinate is relative to the trunk of the body, and Y coordinates is relative to the grounding point of the contacting feet and thus all Y coordinates are negative or zero.
Runner class provdies a running motion. See comments in WalkingMotion.pde
for advanced usage.
