How To Make The Basic Game, Setting Up The Physics

The tutorial shows how to make the alley, the ball and how to append a ready made skittle, into a 3D scene.

The tutorial shows how to set up the ‘physics’ for the objects and how to duplicate the skittle to make ten pins.

The following are the extra lines of code that are added to the JavaScript file to give the ball an initial velocity –

var m_scenes = require("scenes");
var m_phys = require("physics");


 var ball = m_scenes.get_object_by_name("Sphere");
 m_phys.apply_velocity_world(ball, 0, 15, 0)
