Prototype of a Flash game like Floaty Light

Do we really need another “move a ball in some way from A to B avoiding C” game?
Noooooooo… but it seems two or three people still like this kind of games, so the new torture branded Game Garage is Floaty Light.
Just kidding, of course.
I made this prototype using the gravity and speed as described in the Flash game creation tutorial – part 1 post, the collision detection as shown in the Create a flash draw game like Line Rider or others – part 2 post and the control system already seen at A new player control concept, with only a minor change.
As said, nothing new, but it’s an interesting concept anyway

_root.attachMovie("wall", "wall", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:240, _y:200});
_root.attachMovie("arrow", "arrow", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
moving = false;
gravity = 0.01;
xspeed = 0;
yspeed = 0;

Mouse.hide();
arrow.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x = _xmouse;
this._y = _ymouse;
dist_x = ball._x-this._x;
dist_y = ball._y-this._y;
total_dist = Math.sqrt(dist_x*dist_x+dist_y*dist_y);
if (total_dist>300) {
total_dist = 300;
}
total_dist = (300-total_dist)/500;
angle = Math.atan2(dist_y, dist_x);
this._rotation = angle*57.2957795;
};
ball.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (moving) {
dir = arrow._rotation;
xspeed += total_dist*Math.cos(dir*0.0174532925);
yspeed += total_dist*Math.sin(dir*0.0174532925);
}
yspeed += gravity;
this._x += xspeed;
this._y += yspeed;
xspeed *= 0.99;
yspeed *= 0.99;
for (x=1; x<precision; x++) {
spot_x = this._x+radius*Math.sin(x*360/precision*0.0174532925);
spot_y = this._y-radius*Math.cos(x*360/precision*0.0174532925);
if (wall.hitTest(spot_x, spot_y, true)) {
xspeed = 0;
yspeed = 0;
this._x = 50;
this._y = 50;
}
}
};
_root.onMouseDown = function() {
moving = true;
};
_root.onMouseUp = function() {
moving = false;
}; |
Let’s play it!

awesome work!
btw, why did you use 0.0174532925 where you could have used radians?
Thats really good ! I think of it more as a clone of Nitrome’s Hot Air !
It’s nice, but…How do you give the game “lives”, time-based scoring, and a game-over screen when you run out of lives? O_o?
Your Cewl! :D
It’s good but how do you make it go to different levels and add lives etc?
@Amy
He does this on purpose, you are supposed to do that stuff yourself, he doesn’t want to just give you a game, your supposed to work on it!
i have an idea for a game. (mumbles)
Im a newbie at coding, i can normally figure it out myself but this type of game confuses me alot.
Very similar to this:

hello I am Brazilian, he was seeing his site and I liked a lot, I adored the tutorial!
