Hi all,

Another penny arcade, I found this one while seraching thourgh lots of pictures on line, it simple you have to get the ball to get traped in the wheel with the short hole in it, if you get the long hole then you lose, the wheeel will move it up to the next level, there will be a bar to hold the ball to get your timing right, at the top of each wheel there's a hole in backplate which the ball will fall thourgh if in the long hole gap.


code update

given up on the above one as there must have been something I missed when making the drawing, can't get the ball sphere to drop into the gaps right. plus can't find the picture I found when searching.

so here's another one I've start, this it called Prize finder, now i have a disc that spins ok, but when you put object on to it the don't stick, they go round but at about two thirds the speed of the disc.

here's the code if anyone think they might be able to see what might be wrong if anything.

Hmm, I tried increasing the friction but no dice... the objects started to spin backwards

@bmaczero,

your reply had me think what if the values where negative, well now they sit in the air?

As they say the clues are there,(Oh yeh), ho well more messing about.

cheers for looking.

I took out all the shape making stuff and just put a box for the shapes to drop on to, but even that does not work. So how do I get it to do what I want?

This sort of works but does the opposite, everthing moves to the center?

Meh, I think you'll have to resort to other means to make them stay with disk. I'd try adding some little ridges to the disc:



I think it could work with some fine-tuning.

@bmaczero

don't think it would work right, as later on I was hoping to add an arm the would swing across in parallel arc to the spinning disc to knock the object off into the prize gift exit hole.

look up prize finder in picture search to see what I am trying make.

edit
here a link to one the machine half way down the page.

Ah, I think I see.

Well, I think the best thing to do other than trying to find out what's up with the friction would be to have the program attached the prizes to the wheel until the arm is released or about to hit them, to minimize the sliding.

Ho! rats, guess what, its to do with scale, make it to big and its not going to work, so taken the code and added scale=50.0 thus reducing all the object by 50% and now it works.

so you could say build it full size you like to see it then reduce every thing down afterwards.

I've put the swing arm in but it does not knock anything off, I'm off to bed now, if anyone wants to have a look and see what might need to be done there welcome other wise I continue with it later.
