Pongy - A Different Type of Game - SierraKen - 10-30-2024
You move the big green paddle anywhere you want hitting the white ball to try and aim for the moving goal up above. At the same time try not to have the white ball hit the larger moving red ball. When the red ball hits the white ball, you lose a white ball. You start out with 5. I don't know if anyone has made this yet, but I think it's fun. My high score so far is 17.
I used Chat GPT for some of the math code because I've always been terrible with math. But tell me what you think, thanks.

RE: Pongy - A Different Type of Game - bplus - 10-30-2024
Interesting game!
Saves a step of unneeded calcs:
Code: (Select All)
radAngle = _Atan2(ballY - mouseY, ballX - mouseX) ' * 180 / 3.14159265
'radAngle = angle * 3.14159265 / 180_Atan2 returns a radian angle, no need to convert it to degrees and then back again.

Nice one Ken; it's always good to see new variations on a theme! Nice smooth action, with good parameters (even I scored 3)!
RE: Pongy - A Different Type of Game - SierraKen - 10-30-2024
Thanks Phil! Yeah these types of games take a little practice.
RE: Pongy - A Different Type of Game - SierraKen - 10-30-2024
Thanks B+! I updated those 2 lines and added it a bit better so the ball doesn't get stuck in the wall as often.
