Help on how to have user draw a line that is also a physical body

Hello everyone! I’m trying to see if I can do this but I’m confused on how to do certain things. In general: how can I have the user slide their finger and a line comes up? In specific: I want to be able to limit how long the user can make the line. Thanks for any help! [import]uid: 35535 topic_id: 19950 reply_id: 319950[/import]

Hi

Check out the flight path sample code at http://developer.anscamobile.com/code/flight-path you will need to modify a little but should get you started [import]uid: 103970 topic_id: 19950 reply_id: 77665[/import]

Hello,

Flight path is definitely not the right path to go, it does use a “line” but is not simple to modify. Not to degrade your answer mygamingproject.

There is a much better way to go i actually myself am probably trying to accomplish almost exactly what your doing Nate112, a game where there is a ball or some sort of object, you draw a line with physics, you drop it, you have a set limit of line (more challenging), then you get to your destination.

These links, more preferably the second is great for something you are trying to accomplish. Haha, even if it’s not what i produced :wink:

On the other hand, for the limit it is no so easy. I took the harder path which I know is not the best and I know their is A MUCH BETTER WAY but i did not want to take the time to find out. I made a pixel size squares fitting the whole screen, IT TOOK A LONG TIME. The whole screen was therefore took up of a tiny squares which i added physic bodies too. When the line has a collision with the physic bodies, it has a negative effect to the overall limit. If the line hit 5 squares, it would be - 5 of the score. Yes this is the hard way, the stupid way but it works very well now. Which i had someone telling me this before :wink:

I am making a similar game. If you need any more help ask. I went through this all :slight_smile:

* I have noticed that MANY people are trying to make games that involves the line, ansca should have a template, I think it will help many * [import]uid: 23689 topic_id: 19950 reply_id: 77668[/import]
