Talking about Filler game, Actionscript 3, Box2D, Flash and Game development.
Here we are with the 3rd part… this time we’ll manage collision detection.
I recommend to read step 1 and 2 before continuing.
You should how to manage collisions with Box2D, and if not go and read Understanding how Box2D manages collisions, but this time we won’t use the collision handler.
Since all collisions we have to manage are among circles, I’ll simply use the Pythagoras theorem.
The only thing that differs from the original concept is when you touch a ball or the boundaries, the ball you are drawing does not disappear but falls down. Just to make something different…
