Hi Everyone,

Just wondering is it possible to create a game similar to the original flash based platform game Bowman.

the game where 2 archers are standing opposing sides and fire arrows at each other.

just wondering if any one can mock up a very similar replica of this game as where I’ve gotten so far has bewildered me.

would be awesome if movement could be applied to the archers but for now I’m fine with just trying to get the shooting mechanic down pat.

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Jarrad

Hi Jarrad.

I’m not really sure what your question is. Are you asking if someone can code your game for you?

essentially yes, I’ve attempted a shooting mechanic myself. I just can’t get it right.

I was just purely wondering if anyone has attempted their own shooting mechanic with a bow using realistic physics and can give me some pointers

Here’s a forum post discussing the physics around throwing a spear. One would presume you could modify it to fit an arrow’s flight.

As for someone “mocking up” the game for you, you’d be better off posting in the Corona Jobs forum.
