I understand how collision is checked with two circles but I need someone to help me with psuedo code to develop the code to check collisions with paddles in a pinball game I want to make. First off, I found this script here http://wd-testnet.world-direct.at/mozilla/dhtml/funo/pinballtest/pinball2textAlignCenter.htm and modified it while learning how it worked. I'm trying to learn javascript by picking apart free resources I find on the web. I needed to learn how to use soundmanager and this script was begging for sounds. Teethgrinder has an image rotate script that I modified while picking apart and got some flippers. I have almost everything ready but I need to figure out the paddle math. Is there anyone here who has done this calculation before.? I assure you, I've scoured the internet. I have saved two working examples of balls hitting irregular slopes but I don't want to spend forever trying to sort out the script just to back out the calculations. It's seems easier to ask you pros and gasp actually code for myself instead of splicing in some code I cut and pasted from somewhere. Here's my testing version with sound. http://h1.ripway.com/tinyscript/pinballRedux.html# Here's my flipper script http://h1.ripway.com/tinyscript/canvasPinballFlippers.html and the next link is flippers drawn with the canvas element but they look strange. Could be the way I'm drawing them. http://h1.ripway.com/tinyscript/CanvasPinballFlipperDrawingTest.html finally, for testing purposes, here's an ozone pinball script with some flippers. I screwed up the script a little, but shingebas wrote this. it's the perpetual pinball script. I made it work for canvas and then added the flippers. I think I was trying to resize the playing field and then I was going to resize the ball, but it might be easier to resize the paddles smaller if anyone is actually interested in this and wnts to help. I've seriously hit a dead end. I don't know where to find out how to do this. Loading...
