Hi! Thanks for joining me from my previous thread or if you're new here! Previous thread: MAJOR GOAL: Create a multiplayer game using websockets. GAME CONCEPT: Attempt to be the last ball surviving as other balls and environmental effects attempt to knock you off the platform. STATUS: Finessing the single-player version where it is just player vs. environmental effects. Check out the current incarnation of the single-player game here: http://aaronjanke.com/ballGame/ Github: https://github.com/ballAndBoardInc/ballGame CHALLENGE #1 Currently, I'm looking at finessing the controls. They accelerate too quickly, since holding down the key doesn't provide immediate repetition of the trigger. It's awkward. Looking for smoother acceleration. CHALLENGE #2 We are implementing a game reset, but in its current incarnation it doesnt properly rebind the controls after it resets. Definitely open to thoughts. This is our current control system: scene.actionManager = new BABYLON.ActionManager(scene); scene.actionManager.registerAction( new BABYLON.ExecuteCodeAction( { trigger: BABYLON.ActionManager.OnKeyDownTrigger, parameter: 'a' }, function () { console.log('a pressed'); playerMesh.applyImpulse(new BABYLON.Vector3(10, 0, 0), playerMesh.getAbsolutePosition()); } ) ); scene.actionManager.registerAction( new BABYLON.ExecuteCodeAction( { trigger: BABYLON.ActionManager.OnKeyDownTrigger, parameter: 'w' }, function () { console.log('w pressed'); playerMesh.applyImpulse(new BABYLON.Vector3(0, 0, -10), playerMesh.getAbsolutePosition()); } ) ); scene.actionManager.registerAction( new BABYLON.ExecuteCodeAction( { trigger: BABYLON.ActionManager.OnKeyDownTrigger, parameter: 'd' }, function () { console.log('d pressed'); playerMesh.applyImpulse(new BABYLON.Vector3(-10, 0, 0), playerMesh.getAbsolutePosition()); } ) ); scene.actionManager.registerAction( new BABYLON.ExecuteCodeAction( { trigger: BABYLON.ActionManager.OnKeyDownTrigger, parameter: 's' }, function () { console.log('s pressed'); playerMesh.applyImpulse(new BABYLON.Vector3(0, 0, 10), playerMesh.getAbsolutePosition()); } ) );
