The Unofficial GameSalad Function Guide

Well, that's what I would like it to be.

My query involves the Expression Editor. There is a drop-down editor with several math functions. Unfortunately, many of the younger, non-math devouring GS user(myself included) are in the dark about what many of these do. Like:
What is the "atan" function?
How do "sin" and "cos" work to make things rotate around a fixed point?

I'm hoping that older users with a flair for math functions, like RThurman( Offcenter Rotations) and Orbz(known on the forum for his math knowledge) can step in and answer these questions. Maybe if the younger users know how these work, we can use them to improve our game.
Help us, GameSalad Members. You're this post's only hope.

    I would not expect any trig lessons. If you have not gotten there in school you need to try to get into that class to get the full understanding of Sin Cos Etc… If you want to be a developer your gonna have to learn some advanced math. So you better study up.

    Here's a link to GameSalads explanation of the Functions. There may also be something listed in the Cookbook.

    Hes made some really useful stuff for everyone in the past. Most of those are downloadable by searching in GameSalad Creator under the new tab.

    How do I divide by zero?

    You cannot divide by zero in any math that I am aware of.
