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("ball", "ball", _root.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:50, _y:50});
_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;
precision = 24;
radius = 15;
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
Let's play it!
