Work in Progress: Fun with Cups

[iiceman]

I am playing around and got this: http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1QBHYZ#2 http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1QBHYZ#3 http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1QBHYZ#5

 

Edit: probably final version: http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1QBHYZ#6

 

If anybody finds a bug or something that doesn't seem right, please let me know

 

Any ideas for improvements? Every input is very appreciated!

Did notice a couple things.  If you loose a couple times, intentionally, the ball may show outside the cups when they stop.  The other is sometime you do not have to intensionally loose, though that could be intentional on your part.

@JCPalmer: you mean that the ball is not where it is supposed to be? I thought so, too, but I was not sure and thought I just got it wrong, I'll check that. Thanks for testing

I didn't won a single game... :'( 

 

Anyway this is awesome

[iiceman]

Okay, I changed it a bit, I think I did some stuff during the animation that messed things up. Please test again and tell me if the ball now ends up where it is supposed to be

 

@JCP: about the ball outside the cup: still trying to figure that out... might be a similiar problem, something wrong with my timing

I made test my 5 year old daughter and she wins every time and me, I'm wrong every time.

Same as JCP. sometimes the ball slightly out of the goblet.

Hehee, cool. Well sometimes kids are better at those games ... or I messed up on the programming I'll check that tonight again if I have time.

 

I am planing to show it to my boss and ask him to sell it to a company that we create website for as a mini game on their ad campaign. But I should be sure it works well before I suggest something like that

Nice iiceman. I like it.

 

Somehow, it reminded me of British comedian Tommy Cooper. A master magician - whose comedy was based upon tricks going wrong.

 

And also of a holiday in Paris - the street entertainers who would run when the gendarmes showed up ;-)

 

cheers, gryff

Hey guys, thanks for all the comments. I tired to improve it a bit and made some options configurable:  http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1QBHYZ#5

 

You can now set the number of cups

 

I am still trying to figure out why sometimes the cups end up in the wrong position (b it too much in the back). Might be some problem with timing my animations and setting the final position.

 

 

Edit: okay, I think I finally got it right: http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1QBHYZ#6

If you guys still find something that goes wrong or that could be better, I would love to hear about it! Thanks for the help!
