Something very simple, yet satisfying.
Blackpool Pier Style Penny Shoot.



No media, here's the code

Nice one miki, see you found away of making coins, could not get that bit to work on my version of penny falls, looks very good.

plus your coin cute system is cool and has shown a possible way of making the game where the table with black and white stripes on the belt with an amount you could win rolls by could be made.

I'll look out for the belt one.

Another one I been trying to do is the one with the ball bearing that spins around a spirl the drops into a lose or win hole. I think you know the one I mean.

an inspiring machine.

would you attempt to build the machine in script, or go straight for the 3dsmax....?

and you'd need some clever thinking to simulate the shoot, to build in some skill factor that satisfies the player, makes him feel clever.

Have been trying to do it both ways no joy yet, but thats the fun of it, one day I find away or see something that can make it.

Making a 3d spiral is the hard part after that it would simple (I think).

Thanks for your interest

frankley, it's interesting.
those old machines provide a challenging and entertaining arena for dark physics.

and there are thousands of them.

quite inspiring.

i'll keep you posted on how it works.

you sure know your way around max that better then I have done in AC3D or Turespace, just will PhysX see or not.

on some of the ones I have seen there was not so many turns in the spiral like three then the ball would drop into a win hole or missed them all and fall into lost hole.

All the coins are standing vertical for me and won't lay flat at all.

Was this from an update?

wonder what happen there, have you checked your code with what you had at the start of the thread.

Yes, its the code from the start.

Just got DarkPhysics a few weeks ago.

It says I have this version in the help files.
Quote: "At this current time the available drivers are version 2.5.0 and after installation of Dark Physics"

And thats the runtime for AGEIA I am using.

I am also using DBPro 1.071

on Vista32

Note: that the center shooter is not moving with the mouse either

OK installed version 9.09.0121

Still doesn't work properly.

can you confirm for me that this code is working for you?
(just hit the right key to start the rotation)??

looks like kinematic rotation is not working...
are you using the latest dbpro version???

I want the box to remain in the sky and rotate on kinematic commands.

(it is very good it is not falling and it is not supposed to fall)

I sent this to the Bug forum.


Unless you can tell me the kinematic rotate is working for DBpro 1.0.71

Please tell me:
what version of DBPro are you using:
AND
Does this code work for you when you press the right arrow key.






I can't look at your Penny Arcade Code because it is not working for me. And this is not a good thing considering I bought Dark Physx Last Week.

Thanks HowDo

Sorry for messing up your Penny Arcade post

works good now...

I wasn't aware of the update since I installed the first time last week.

Thought maybe it would take care of itself.

Sorry
