Tutorial: Juggle a soccer ball

MikeHart

Hi folks,

I have redone a tutorial script which I have created in 2010 for "mexican beer" SDK and added a few things to it.

In this app you have a ball which you should not let touch the ground. Touch the screen slightly under the ball and it will be pushed upwards.

Have fun

Edit: Attached the file to the post.

That's great! I scored 15 on my Galaxy S 2

Very good result!

This function (getContentWidth) comes with beta5. I'm sending you a link for beta5.

MikeHart

Ouch. Sorry!

Download beta 7, there it works. I used a command from the inoffical beta5 version.

The link doesn't work...do you have another link to download JuggleSoccerBall_Gideros.zip?

Thanks!

Just looking at this. I see you did something in corona and then translated it. It went from 80 something lines to like 150 lines hah when going to Gideros.

I get better performance with Gideros, so if it takes extra lines of code to get that performance, I'm ok with that hehe

I get 10 to 13 for score, then I mess up, guess I am not that skilled lol.

I see the growing of the code here not as a problem as Gideros gives your more freedom with the physics. In bigger projects this would become a non issue as you would wrap these into functions that are more reusable.
