Well just a small game I've been working on since yesterday. Not gonna be big but it's quite funny. No purpose yet as it is still in development .

In the final version the player is supposed to shoot a ball away and collect as much items/coins/powerups/stuff as possible with the ball while it flies through space pulled out of it's way towards planets and stuff. The final version will contain a level editor and the game itself. Currently it's just the editor... well for how far I made it then .

You can shoot a ball by creating a start object (right mouse -> start) and put it somewhere, then click and hold the mouse on the object and drag the ball backwards. The further you drag the faster you'll shoot. You can put down planets to get some gravity and influence the ball's path.

That's it for so far.
Getting on to some more objects and collecting items.
Hope to show some more soon .

Enjoy:
download gravball!

looks really funny and cool

hehe very funny game try it out!

Good job!

hehe, very funny game
i like it.

cool idea. i like it.

gives you some impressions how sattelites move along planets

My Idea: make planets, that circle aound the sun.

Then the player has to launch a sattelite from the earth,
and try to hit a certain planet.

For example: shoot the sattelite from Earth toward Jupiter, and then
take the velocity to reach Pluto or another planet.

Could be even a battle game.

Or try to hit a big Comet, like Halley.

Thanx for the comments and hurray for physics

Well I am plannign to put some nice sun's and planets (maybe rotating around them) in the field, but the game will be not to defend something or much action, it'll be a puzzle game. You have to find the right angle and speed to navigate your ball through the level and pick up as much items as you can on the way to the target. That will be the game in big lines, and I'll try to add some nice effects and more nice functions to it.

But I'm stuck on the damn GUI now I hate 3dgs on that part.

huh? I thought ur GUI so far, or at least the little "X" and "arrows" button u have are great. Kinda funny. looks like you've put some complicated mathemathical equations in there, and then you're having a hard time making the UI?
My point is: The game so far is very simple, yet amazing. I wish I would have had the idea... and I'm sure you'll do good on the UI as well.
Keep it up! I'd really like to see different planet sizes (and different gravities)...
good job, very nice idea,

Somehow, I did not notice before, that panels can be created
dynamically. Thanks to your skript reminding me on that, I can now save a lot of
time on gui creation.
