The following are the code to approximate the motion of falling object. However the Object does not move...

I have shown the "time" and the "distance" at the top right of the screen. The time is run, but the distance stop at 0....
Can anyone help me to correct it?
(i am using Visual Studio2008)

+ Code Snippet

#include "DarkGDk.h"

const int RefreshRate = 60;
const int Acceleration = 0.98;


void DarkGDK()
{
	int ball1x, ball1y, ball2x, ball2y;
	int time = 0;
	float distance;

	void setup();

	int maxY = dbScreenHeight() - 50;

	ball2y = 100;
	ball2x = dbScreenWidth() / 2 +50;

	ball1y = 0;
	ball1x = dbScreenWidth() / 2 -50;

	dbSyncOn();
	dbSyncRate(RefreshRate);

	while (LoopGDK())
	{ 
		dbCLS();

		const DWORD RED = dbRGB(255,0,0);
		const DWORD BLACK = dbRGB(0,0,0);

		dbInk(RED,BLACK);
		dbBox( ball1x, ball1y, ball2x, ball2y);
		dbPrint(dbStr(time));



		if (ball2y < maxY)
		{
			

			distance =  0.5 * Acceleration * time * time;

			ball1y = distance;
			ball2y += distance;

			dbPrint(dbStr(distance));

			dbLine(0,ball1y,100,ball1y);



			time++;
		}
		else
		{
			ball2y = maxY;
			ball1y = maxY - 100;
		}



		dbSync();
	
	}

}

Thankyou@@!

const int Acceleration = 0.98;

Make that a float. If it's int, it's zero (the integer part of 0.98). So you are always multiplying with zero.

You should also correct the calculation of the first y coordinate to += not only = otherwise the box will stretch.

+ Code Snippet

ball1y += distance;

I have changed a bit of the program...and ...it does not work again...Would you please have a look?

The objective of the programme change to approximate the motion of object with acceleration and deceleration.

The odject will accelerate until travelling distance = 300,
and change to deceleration at constant rate. The object will stop at velocity = 0.

I am not sure which part is wrong....

#include "DarkGDk.h"

void DackGDK()
{
	dbSetDisplayMode(700,300,dbScreenDepth());
	dbSetWindowTitle("Moving Box With Acceleration and Deceleration");

const float Acceleration = 0.1;
	const float Deceleration = 0.1;
	const int RefreshRate = 60;
	const int StartToDecelerate = 300;

int box1x, box1y, box2x, box2y;
	int Time = 0;
	float TravelDistance = 0;
	float TravelVelocity = 0;

box2x = 25;
	box2y = dbScreenHeight() /2 + 5;
	box1x = 15;
	box1y = dbScreenHeight() /2 - 5;

dbSyncOn();
	dbSyncRate(RefreshRate);

while (LoopGDK())
	{ 
		dbCLS();

const DWORD RED = dbRGB(255,0,0);
		const DWORD BLACK = dbRGB(0,0,0);

dbInk(RED,BLACK);
		dbBox( box1x, box1y, box2x, box2y);
		dbPrint(dbStr(TravelDistance));
		dbPrint(dbStr(Time));

if (TravelDistance < StartToDecelerate)
		{
			TravelVelocity = Acceleration * Time;
			TravelDistance = Acceleration * Time * Time /2;
			box2x += TravelDistance;
			box1x += TravelDistance;
			Time ++;		
		}
		else if (TravelVelocity > 0)
		{
			Time = 0;
			
			TravelVelocity -= (Deceleration * Time);
		
			TravelDistance += (TravelVelocity * Time - Deceleration * Time * Time /2);

box2x += TravelDistance;
			box1x += TravelDistance;
			Time ++;
		}
		else
		{
			box2x = TravelDistance;
			box1x = TravelDistance;
		}
	dbSync();
	}
}

}

The system has the following output:
