Comment on WTF XNA, Quaternion to Euler conversion by RohoMech

Hi Scott,

Yea, it looks like what I’ve posted isn’t working for your case.
Though, this code didn’t make its way into production, sorry you’re that found the issue.

The approach we ended up taking was to store both the Euler angles along with the quaternion.

I put in the following and expected to get back something different:

Quaternion quat1 = Quaternion.CreateFromAxisAngle(Vector3.UnitY, (float)Math.PI); //180 degres
Quaternion quat2 = Quaternion.CreateFromAxisAngle(Vector3.UnitX, (float)Math.PI); //180 degres
Quaternion quat = quat1 * quat2;

?v
{X:5.008956E-06 Y:-5.008956E-06 Z:180}
X: 0.00000500895567
Y: -0.00000500895567
Z: 180.0

I would have expected to get:
X: 180
Y: 180
Z: 0

XTR – Its worth a shot, I’m not sure what uninstalling C# is going to do….hmmm

So if I installed C# and then XNA, could I uninstall C# and still get XNA to work in C++? Disk cost is a big concern of mine. I already have C++, and don’t want to install another version of Visual Studio.

I think you *need* to have C# installed, so, I’d give that a shot. But then use Scott’s project to work in C++ instead.

I’ve heard that some of you guys above have XNA Game Studio 2.0 with VC++ 2005 Express and can’t get the sample to build. I can’t even get XNA to install on my computer.

When I try to install, it says I need to download C# 2005 Express or Visual Studio 2005 first.

I’m using C++ 2005 Express and cannot get XNA to work.

I’d love to see the prototype of the week. I’m specifically curious about the shader app as well as the screenshot that looks like a bunch of entities with trails behind them.

Hi,

First, thanks for the original sample!!
Without this one, I wouldn’t be able to start with XNA & C++.

This page is the second rank in google when you try to find “XNA C++”, and there are so few interesting discussion about this – the others are trolling (C# is the best and only possible for XNA or I’m a beginner so I want VB…).If you have an existing code in C++, and want to reuse it, it’s better to try to use C++ with XNA…

Well, I have the same issue to build to original sample, so I change it to work with VC++ 2005 Express & XNA 2.0 (So many major changes were done in 2.0…)

This should work for you also, just don’t forget to add your access path to XNA in the reference directory (in your option).
