Hey everyone! I have this super original idea for a pinball game, but can't get the hang of the pinball movement in MMF2. Does anyone have an open source or tutorial? I won't use your code, just learn from it...
Thanks in advance!
I've found and tried VisualPinball but doesn't offer me the options that mmf2 does. It also needs to be a stand-alone application without the VP logo on it. I also plan to make the game 2D. A good movement for a pinball in MMF2 is the only thing I need to learn/see, everything else I can do.
Chipmunk Phizix object then.
I'm not sure that doesn't come with a pinball example included (I may be imagining that though).
Otherwise, it's going to be difficult to make the ball follow curved walls properly (rather than just bounce off), and collision detection with the flippers will be very hard too. Plus, if you have a multi-ball mode, it's almost impossible to handle simultaneous collisions between 3+ balls/flippers.

Multiple collisions shouldn't be hard. Compare two general values = friend.
Ok thanks you two! I'll have to wait until I get back to my dad's place to update MMF2 with the CD. I need to make it build246... Until then, I still want to know other options and tuts/sources for making the pinball movement work!
