Small pinball game using circle-line collision routines from Marcus
#1
This is not meant to be a proper simulation (as you will see if you run it Smile), but just an experiment with the terrific circle-line functions that Marcus provided a while back. I've used the functions as they were originally written by Marcus, with one small alteration to the polygon function, where I have added a fifth argument to allow me to specify a point around which the polygon is rotated, rather than the center point of the polygon (I needed this for the 2 flippers).

There a few values that can be altered in the code to change the way that the ball reacts to certain lines - I've marked some of these as "arbitrary values", and I'm sure changing these will make for a smoother game, but I've decided to move on to a new project.

Control the flippers with the A and D keys, and launch the ball using the UP arrow.

   

Code:

Dude, that's really cool Smile

Probably it would be possible to ... I'm not sure, just thinking out loud ... split up the movement of the flippers into tinier steps (just logically, while updating) to get better precision when they hit the ball. That way the flippers could move a lot faster without any loss of accuracy.

I know it's just a test. But still, it would probably not be that hard to use this in combination with 'draw poly image' or 'draw image xform' to get textured graphics. I'll look into that when I get the time Smile

Well done!

It's awesome. Pinball game in N7, great !
Insert Coins to continue the game...
