Hi

I've been working my through the 3D commands and adding examples to the help files and came up with collision demo which I thought was quite fun.



It was written in V2 but should work in V1 but V1 uses might need to set the screen up to see it properly.

Works perfectly in V1

This is a very good example for the 3d collision commands.
Thank you for the contribution

Great example! I love how easy it is to get great collision in AGK.

This would make a great screensaver as well, if you added a couple more spheres and maybe even another odd shape.

I like that demo! Lots of fun just tweaking the gravity value. It's a great demo for beginners. Thanks for making it and adding it to the help system.

Have you added a lot of help demos so far?

Thank you for the badge! It's so shiny!

I'm having a lot of fun coming up with examples and I'm still adding more.

@Yodaman Jer - even though the 3D commands are limited I'm finding them really good to work with.

Lovely bit of code

I've tweaked it a bit. I thought the only things missing were side walls and the ability to have more than one ball.
Just change the constant on the first line to adjust the number of balls:

That's really cool. I think the walls are a good addition.

When doing the examples I wanted to keep things simple. People, I'm guessing beginners, will be looking for the implementation of a single command, in this case "GetObjectRayCastBounceX()", so I didn't want to spend too much time at the start setting it all up, I wanted the example to be easy to follow. Because of this I almost just had a single peg but having the pattern made it a lot more fun.
