A kit of parts for making your own marble rolling layouts! It's pretty slow online...download and play in Presentation Mode for best performance. Updates: 12/23/09 - Added bouncing. Also made it so that the ball can be thrown with the mouse. New setups. The Parts ======= All blue ramps and purple boosters can be moved by dragging from the center and rotated by dragging from the ends. The brown squares teleport the ball from one square to the other square. The upward pointing green triangle teleports the ball to the downward green triangle. The Controls ========= Use the mouse to drag ramps, boosters, teleportation items and the ball around and rotate some of them. Use the Clean Up button to put all parts back in the "box" on the right. Use the Next Setup button to cycle through some preset layouts that I made. Note that one of the setups is designed to be used with the "ball throw" feature...it's kind of like an aracade game - you try and throw the ball so it runs up a ramp and ends up in the teleporter. Credits ===== Many thanks to MathWizz for the inspiration! Technical notes =========== The hardest part of this project was coming up with the correct math to locate the ball on the top of the ramp at the right spot as soon as the ramp sensed contact. There are still some strange things that happen if a ball hits a ramp from the underside...the ball magically appears on the top of the ramp!
