Due to mmf's way of animation direction, I need to have a way to figure out the following.

First mmf animation direction(ad) goes from 0 to 31.

I want to know if there is a mathmatetical equation that could figure that if ad = 1 than convert ad to equal 62. If ad = 31 than convert ad to equal 2.

Basically it goes as follows

1 = 62
2 = 60
3 = 58

etc

Everthing is in incriments of 2, all the way through to ad 31
I would like to do this without having to create a look up table.

When x = the smaller ad value and y = the bigger ad value:

y = 64 - 2x

x = (64 - y)/2

I'm curious to know why you're doing this?

I had put a question out, asking for help in causing my star field to reverse. The topic title is "reverse starfield?". I have had 28 people down load my example but not a single person has been able to figure it out. So one day I spent hours and hours on trial and error. Not having a clue what I was really doing but just trying things. I also went back to my old c code that I originally wrote for this game I am trying to put together with mmf. The reason why I switched to mmf was because my c code was buggy and written in dos. It was just easier to port it over to mmf and less time consuming. So between the two I finally figured out how to get the star field to reverse.

So that is what I need this formula for.
