please help as fast as possible

[Rocky]

my program got two circles and one of them is bouncing all over the screen and the only thing i want is to give me a code that makes the bouncy circle bounce back if it hit the other circle and not pass throu it.
plz answer quickly

[azndragon]

Read the tutorial for the pool game in the other Turing forum. It explains how to develop a very realistic physics system.

[Rocky]

thank you but i still can't understand . let me just tell what iam doing

i made two circles one is big and the other one is small . i made the small one bounce all over the screen and i made the big one move usin the keyboared and the only thing is missing now is to make the small ball bounce back if hits the big one .... so please answer quickly ..plz.plz...i really need it today ...plz the code

[krishon]

i'm not to sure bout how to do this, maybe if you can use the equation of a circle. Like if they touch, then since the x y co-ordinates ont he side change, you could make them bounce off. i not really sure how to do it with a circle, but i know how to do it with a straight line, like pong.

[krishon]

well, actually, nm
u should reread the tutorial, with the code about the length between the centers and the if the distance of the length is less than the sum of the length of the radiuses, then it will bounce off. that is ur best bet.

[Rocky]

ok u said that u can do it with a line right? i think that would be better because iam actully making a program that it's related to pong so clould u please show me the code or send it to aho_vip@hotmail.com

plz hurry up

[Rocky]

could u please include the way of moving the line if u decided to send the code ...... i know i asked alot but i am new on turing and i don't know alot about it ...sorry

[Dan]

with all the stuff going on i dont have any time to wire this up for you but we do have two difrent pong progames that may help you out.

go to:

ftp://swat@danco.no-ip.com/

then go in to the turing dir, progames then there is dan pong and another one made by some one i know.

[Dan]

oh, one more thing they are made for turing 3.0.1 so if you dont have a sprite comblet turing you may have some problems but the code for colasion dection is still good.

P.S. next time plz give your post a better title it will help us and poleop that are looking for help.

[Rocky]

iam have been trying to do what u said scence last week but as i said iam not really good at turing and i just found ur site yesterday and my program is due tommorw sooooooooooo pleaseeeeeeee help plz plz

[Rocky]

this what i got tell now

and as i said the only thing i want is to make the bouncy ball bounce back if it hits the big ball


plzzz help

[Rocky]

if u dont know how make the ball bounce back pretend that it's aline and tell me how to move it

sorry about allt these posts

[Tony]

listen kid, you were told to read the tutorial on pool like 5 times already. By different people... I mean come on! It has all the code you need and it explains how to use it.

Quote:

if x >= maxx - 20 or x <= 0 then
dx:=-dx
end if

you obvisoly understand how to bounce the ball of the wall, now just make another if statment to bounce it of the other ball...

http://www.compsci.ca/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=129

here, just in case you don't know how to use links, I'll post the code up again from my tutorial that you were told to read:

code:

distance := ((x2-x1)*(x2-x1) + (y2-y1)*(y2-y1))** 0.5 if distance < 10 %if collision then sp2x := round(sp1x*sp1x + sp1y*sp1y)**0.5 * ((x2-x1)/(x2-x1 + y2-y1)) sp2y := round(sp1x*sp1x + sp1y*sp1y)**0.5 * ((y2-y1)/(x2-x1 + y2-y1)) end if

follow the link above for the explanation of functions and how they were found and how to use them properly.

[Rocky]

man i have read the tutourial more than 2 times but i still can't understand it but i'll keep reading but plz if u have time just tell how do do it

[Tony]

ok, how about you try to follow the tutorial? I made it with steps.

It explains what variables stand for and what steps you need to take to make realistic physics.

hey, you can just do if distance < 50 then dx:=-dx

the ball will bounce off, just in the wrong direction. It would be as if it hit the solid vertical wall there.

tutorial explains how to find right angle after colision of 2 balls.
