Hello everyone.

I'm planning on making a newer version of my game BallFrog (BallFrog 2 was also released this week), but for the next version I want the aiming fixed so its more accurate, aswell as a better bouncing ball movement.

Here is the game so you can see what I mean

Does anyone have a tutorial/example of this kind of thing, as i'm all out of ideas on how to make it work

Note: It needs to be possible to export as .swf, so any extensions must be compatible.

Thanks in advance.

That's a really cool little game - an original take on the classic Arkanoid gameplay
Maybe you'll add destructible blocks in v2? Perhaps switches that open doors when hit? More stuff like that...

Anyway, here's what I was able to put together in a short space of time:

The collisions are a bit rubbish gravity is in effect, but I can't be bothered to try and fix it at the moment.
The rest should be more or less okayish - it's all done in 360 degree at least...

Hope it helps

Hello Sketchy,

Thanks for taking the time to help, I will definatly be using this.

Glad you like the game.

I plan on making a new version so I wanted a new engine, one with more accurate shooting as this was the thing people commented most on.

I do plan on enhancing the gameplay like you said, new game types, destructable blocks, flaming balls etc.

Thanks again!

No worries

I've made a few very minor changes:

Comments are still pretty minimal, so if you want anything explaining, just ask.

I've corrected a small mistake, so the speed is always exactly right now (you probably wouldn't have noticed anyway).
It should read:

xStep = xVel / Ceil(moveSpeed)
yStep = yVel / Ceil(moveSpeed)

Also, I've added a little fix so that the ball bounces off the sides properly even when gravity is in effect.
