MoveRightdeltaX

MoveRightdeltaX is a term used in programming and game development to describe the operation of moving an object along the horizontal axis by a specified amount, deltaX, in the positive x direction. In most 2D and many 3D coordinate systems, the x-axis increases to the right, so increasing x by deltaX results in a rightward displacement. The term can refer to a function, method, or a simple descriptive action within update loops or animation pipelines.

Usage and conventions

MoveRightdeltaX is typically invoked during an update or animation step to modify an object's position. It is often paired with movement constraints such as world boundaries, collisions, or velocity limits. In some codebases the same concept is expressed as a generic translation or as a dedicated moveRight function with deltaX passed as a parameter. The naming is project-dependent, and some teams may prefer moveRight with a parameter named deltaX, while others use moveRightdeltaX as a single, composite function name.

Common implementation

A simple implementation adds deltaX to the object's x coordinate:

function moveRightdeltaX(obj, deltaX) {

obj.x += deltaX;

}

In languages with object literals, similar patterns appear in methods or class constructors. It may also be combined with deltaTime to ensure frame-rate independent movement:

dx = speed * deltaTime

moveRightdeltaX(obj, dx)

Considerations

DeltaX units must match the coordinate system (pixels, meters, units). Boundary checks and collision handling are often required. Negative deltaX values move left, while positive values move right.

Notes

MoveRightdeltaX is not a universally standardized function name; its exact form depends on the codebase’s naming conventions. As with any movement helper, clarity and consistency within the project are key.
