Midpoint Camera Between Player and Cursor Example

[Sumo]

Hey Guys!
I'm here with another example file that I made for my game that I thought could be useful for the community. Previously I used to always center the camera on the player, but that's no fun. I came up with a compromise that makes the game feel more interesting. The camera is placed at the midpoint between the player and their cursor. Therefore they can stretch out their view to look farther ahead in the game. There's a max distance restriction so the camera doesn't go too far. You can change the position of the camera too, so it's not in the center (line 4 change the 0.5 value. I prefer 0.25). The example comes with on-screen directions and values that you can test.

Kudos to you for making me finally understand an implementation of an arctangent function!
Your timing couldn't have been better, as I was searching for something like this to replace my obsolete midpoint system.

Thanks. I think I added the wrong link to test out the flash example. This should be the correct link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...intCamera.html
