Magnet-like repel

[calmrr3]

Hello,

Is it possible to create something like this: http://www.absorblearning.com/media/att ... 4y&att=348
whereby the cursor is the main magnet and any graphics on the card animate as though they are being repelled when the cursor goes near to them.

Thanks!

Yep - to get started, see the mouseMove message and the rectangle and location properties in the Dictionary.

Hi Callum,
I know who I'm going to get to make my next video, saw yours (from another post) and they are great!

Ok so I've just built a demo of that magnet thing and here is my take:

Code: Select all

      put the right of btn 1 into tRight
      put the left of btn 2 into tLeft
      if tRight + 20 >= tLeft then --there is the key
            set the left of btn 2 to tRight + 20 --thats the answer
      end if

Well there is a start.
I'd be happy to help you with the rest of the mouseMove if you'd like.
