How can I simulate a ball sliding down a random matrix, with inertia and stuff? Is it possible with darkbasic classic? Do you have source codes that could help me? I need advice!
Thanks in advance
Bye

i made this codesnippet of a ball sliding down a matrix, but it doesn't work yet so maybe you can look at it and see the general concept...if i figure it out then i'll tell you


remember this is NOT working (well it is in THEORY )...
what i did is i got 8 points around the ball (and one point right where the ball is) and i check to see if any of them are the lowest, and if they are then i moved the ball down (gravity\nothing depending on the distance i had left to go) and repositioned its x and y coordinates accordingly...but for some reason it doesn't work , sorry

Responding to Comando 300 I actually needed 3d gravity, although your code works very well. Thanks anyway!
I looked Magellan Studios' source code but I think that you've programmed it in DarkBasic Pro, because when I try to run the program it doesn't recognises a string (precisely "gravity as float"). But I had just the same idea you've written in your post, the one of getting the ground height of some points around the ball and checking the lowest one. I think it's the right way to go...I'll post a message if I can get something to work.
Thanks for your help!
