I’m currently trying to replicate “Swipe Brick Breaker” a clone of one of the games made by 111% games.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrjuN6Vx7KM <------ (this is what I’m trying to make)
I currently have 3 balls moving on screen but only the first ball spawned can properly collide with the bricks. The balls are being iterated through a ballTable within the enterFrame listener so that they can all move. I thought I would do the same thing for collision ie: have collision function iterate through the ballTable so that all balls can collide with my brick but this somehow only works for one ball. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Here’s what I have:
