Rotate your terrain using the keyboard |
Using XNA, it is very easy to read in the current state of your keyboard. The correct libraries, Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Input, are already linked to by default when you’ve started your XNA project, so we can immediately move on to the code that reads in the keyboard input.
Add this bit of code to your Update method, which is called 60 times per second:
KeyboardState keyState = Keyboard.GetState(); if (keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.Delete)) angle += 0.05f; if (keyState.IsKeyDown(Keys.PageDown)) angle -= 0.05f;
Here you put the current state of the keyboard in a variable 'keyState'. Using this variable, you can immediately read out which keys are currently being pressed! When the user presses the Delete or PageDown key, the value of the ‘angle’ variable will be adjusted.
In our Draw method, we need to make sure that this rotation is taken into account by our World matrix:
Matrix worldMatrix = Matrix.CreateTranslation(-terrainWidth / 2.0f, 0, terrainHeight / 2.0f) * Matrix.CreateRotationY(angle);
The terrain is rotated around the Y Up axis before it is moved to the (0,0,0) 3D origin.
Et voila! When you run the code, you can rotate your terrain simply by pressing the Delete and PageDown buttons!

You can try these exercises to practice what you've learned:
Add some code that reads in the Arrow keys. Adjust your world matrix so the terrain is moved into the direction of the Arrow key being pressed.
The code for our rotating terrain:
