Ball Physics

#1 You could just have an animated sprite that "looks" like its rotating and then move it wherever you want. If you want a ball that can reverse direction then that will take more work, like a staticsprite and set its rotation speed based on its movement speed and direction each tick or whenever there is a change.

Oh for some reason I thought this was a post in the TGB forums, a rolling ball in TGE? You may need to implement a setangularvelocity function, sry I'm not much help there.

#2 Haha okay thanks anyway ;)

I am thinking of developing a minigolf game, and I would like a realistic ball physics system. Could this be scripted, or will I need to modify the engine source code?

#3 There is a rigid shape physics system in the engine, that was incorperated in tge 1.5 , check out the rigid shape wiki page on the TDN.

Hope that Helps
