Hello everyone,
I am looking for an FP implementation of a pong game with more realistic ball physics. For example, I would like the ball to bounce off from polygon objects with proper angle. Something like the picture below. I would like to have complex polygons (maybe also circles) inside the field.
I suppose this is best done using the pixel-perfect collision with pixel masks, so I would also appreciate a link to a tutorial about that. Cheers.
Using Nape might also be a good idea, since it’d allow you to integrate as-complex-as-you-want physics without much hassle.
You’d probably be best off using polygons instead of pixels. Metanet’s tutorials are really good and would probably be a great place for you to start.
Or, you could just implement Box2D and let it do the work, but where’s the fun in that?
Thanks, guys, for very useful suggestions 
. I am not sure if I want to use physics engine, I want the game to run smoothly and do not really need to much of physics to justify the engine. I will probably do the collision myself. I was hoping maybe somebody here already had a basic version and was willing to share.
Btw, Nape says it is a few times faster than Box2D.
I’ve tested nape before in much more complex scenes and its pretty damn fast :). The performance hit with one dynamic object (the ball) in the world is virtually nonexistent. A game like this is really easy to make with nape. Or you could just go the hard/fun route and do what @zachwlewis said ^^
P.S: IMO, Nape physics is pretty much superior to Box2D in every way. The only downside is the lack of resources concerning nape.
100% agree. One of the worst parts of working with nape was getting started - the only real resource you have is the nape website manual and demos’ code, which aren’t always that great. Once I got used to the API, it was pretty smooth.
hey man im rly struggling getting started with nape. Do you have any early build of a project that uses flashpunk simultaneously I could use as a base. If so i would really appreciate
I found this basic setup on their forum. Have not really tested it but here is the link
There’s nothing I can give you right now, but you can maybe take a look at how HaxeFlixel does it. It’s Haxe, and it’s Flixel, but from what I see it should be fairly easy to port. If you do it, please share! In the meantime, I’ll see if I can write some sort of template. Maybe @Copying is interested as well?
I’ve never used Haxe so far and so far i’ve got enough work with other projects (remember, i’m rewritting the library from 0). But i’ll bookmark it for the future 
Hey I think I had a project with nape entities in them. If you still need need help I could clean it up and send it to you.
Just gotta finish up my personal statement >.>
