Hi,
I'm having this movement code. It is copied from the example in the sparky's directory. But I have a problem the ball doesn't slide when on tilted surfaces? Is it an error in the code, or i have to add something, because in the comments I can see that there is some code for sliding.
Forward thanks!

// get the normalY direction to work out how flat the gorund
// below the player is, 0-slope# is flatter, slope#-1 is steeper.
