LiveCode Forums.

Hi I'm new to livecode and I'm trying to create a simple physics mechanic that I wish to use in a game. All I'm try to achieve is to get a rock to fall, stop when detecting a floor and then roll down the floor if its sloped. I was hoping someone maybe able to help me with this. Thank you

Personally I would recommend checking out animationEngine because he has done most of the work for you (movement, acceleration, collision detection, etc).. There is a little bit of work to using the API, but much less than writing it all by yourself.. Otherwise check out the move command and intersect function..

Hi Joe,

1. welcome to the forum!
2. additionally to what Sean said, it may be a good idea to get the basics of Livecode first

Check these great stacks:

Listen to Klaus.. He is <3

I'm smaller than 3? WTF?

Something like that

Hey, you're guaranteed a gold or silver, nothing to complain about there.

There are also some nice physics examples in the User Examples stacks (click the icon in the toolbar.) Look for stuff by John Hurley. He wrote a pool game if I remember right, along with some others. Or search there for "physics".
