Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone would be tempted to write a tutorial on a very basic Angry Crate (Angry Birds) clone.

I would break it down like this:

1. User uses a mouse to click in an area to start the pull back of the sling shot, a line comes out, the longer the line, the more power it has, with the line also showing angle.

2. When user clicks mouse again it releases the crate and calculates the path based on velocity, angle and gravity.

3. Darkphysics is used to calculate hits of the crate on the other crates on the other side of the screen (crates will do for the time being).

It would be a very good programming example to show simple games can sometimes be the best. I'm no programming expert but would be a good start for some people.

DBPro is the new Amos (I hope)

You could easily use the Box2D demos and tutorials to piece together everything you need. Dark Physics is also 3D, which isn't really Angry Birds style, although it would be a great twist on the game.
