Checking the Position of the Guess Using Error Margins

Author:Serkan Ozel

Now that the error margins have been set, it’s time to evaluate whether a given guess falls within the first margin of error (n), the second margin of error (m), or outside of these regions. To achieve this, we will use the IsInRegion(point, region) command to determine the position of the guessed point in relation to the error boundaries. Step-by-Step Implementation: 1. Regions Defined by Error Margins:

Green Region (n): The tighter, more precise margin of error.
Orange Region (m): The broader, less precise margin of error, encompassing the green region.
Red Region: Outside both margins (purely decorative but indicates guesses that are too far off).

2. Using the IsInRegion Command:

We will use the IsInRegion(point, region) command to verify if the guessed point lies within a specific margin.
The point represents the guessed angle’s position after rotation.
The region corresponds to the defined circular areas:
Green Region for the first margin (n).
Orange Region for the second margin (m).

3. Checking the Guess:

The logic will follow these steps:

1. Check the Green Region: • If IsInRegion(guess, green_region) == true: • The guess is within the first (n) margin, indicating high precision. 2. Check the Orange Region (if not in the green region): • Else If IsInRegion(guess, orange_region) == true: • The guess is within the second (m) margin, meaning it is less precise but still acceptable. 3. Outside Both Regions: • Else: • The guess is outside both margins, indicating it is far off the correct angle. 4. Handling the Results: • Depending on where the guess falls, you can provide different feedback to the user: • In the Green Region: “Excellent! Your guess is very precise.” • In the Orange Region: “Good attempt! Your guess is close but could be more precise.” • Outside Both Regions: “Try again! Your guess is too far off.” 5. Visual Feedback: • Use color-coded highlights or animations to show where the guess landed relative to the margins (e.g., flash the corresponding region or mark the guess point).

If you are do not know the label of the point (for guessing the angle) and margin of error regions, you can right click on them and see the names (like in the examples above).

In the figures above, we observe how the IsInRegion() command works to verify whether the guessed point falls within a defined error margin. Specifically:

Green Region (n): If the guessed point lies within this region, the boolean variable a becomes true, indicating that the guess is precise.
Outside Green Region: If the point lies outside the green region, a becomes false, showing that the guess is not precise enough.

Now, it’s your turn to apply your skills and extend this logic to incorporate multiple regions and provide feedback based on the guess’s position.
