Neat, though the ball doesn't seem to roll to the deepest point in the terrain?

I love the movements and behaviour of the tentacles alot espically when you only have like 4 spread out and they are throwing it up in the air to each other... very impressive.

And i have been programming for a few years now, so i expect my work to be good. But if somebody is new...i dont expect too much.
Thanks for the comment and im glad u like my work. I Needa think of some new stuff tho.

hey, i have an idea! but i need your permission.
i'll decompile your tentacles program, and change a few looks.
like i'll call it "micheal jackson's baby drop"!
i'll change the ball into a baby.
there's a note at the bottom explaining that it's your work.
ive started working on it, but i need your permission to release it

oh my God. This time you really showed out what your mathematical level is
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, this is really working perfect!
And the graphics are nice as well
Good work!
If you allow the question: are you using hitTest for the collision detection between ball/tentacles and terrain?
π: 0 β©: 1
I use a combination of hitTest and some math for the collision between the ball and the terrain.
For the colission between the ball and tentacles is all math.
And thanks for your comment, makes me happy. lol.

This really is some amazing work. The emergent behaviour the tentacles display given the right conditions is fascinating. At times it actually appears like they are consciously playing a game of some kind. One of my favourite behaviours I saw was when the tentacles appeared to βCrowd Surfβ the ball. I could play with this for ages
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha yea. With the right combination of tentacles along with the ball's speed, it will appear to "Crowd Surf".
I find that effect very cool along with when the tentacle will actually launch the ball.
Thanks for the comment. I like hearing from people on my work.

Another aspect I like is if you put multiple tentacles in the same spot it appears as if they are a single, more powerful tentacle
π: 0 β©: 1
Yea, that is cool. Thanks for ur comments.

Wow! I could play with this for hours!
Mybe sometime, you could make a proper game where you can add so many tenatacles, and you cant let the ball touch the ground or something.
I know it goes against my journal, but Faved!

The funny part is I do have a game in mind with these types of things. Not sure when ill get around to it, but it will come.
Thanks for your ideas tho, i like them.

Very cool! what i'm havin a hard time with is, how do you really control the ball?
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, sorry but you actually cant control the ball.
The only things u can control is adding tentacle, clearing them, and regenerating the terrain.
Maybe i should let people be able to drag the ball around. I had that idea but i kind of forgot to make it.

Yea, ill ger around to it sometime.

i want to ask how you do so when you right click something a menu appears asking what to do.
also i want to ask how to open a website in flash
π: 0 β©: 2
As for the website, there are many ways to go about it, just play around in flash and make something you like as your website.
To get a name and hosting, go to places like mediatemple.com or godaddy.com

For making a custom menu, you do this:
MENU = new ContextMenu();
MENU.hideBuiltInItems();
function menuItem() { getURL("[link] "); }
Button= new ContextMenuItem("Created by David Brody", menuItem,true);
// goes the title of the button, the function it calls when u click it then if u want a line above button
[link] (Button);
_root.menu = MENU;

again im rather amazed. i love the whole skeleton thing you got so that the tentacle sections rotate and move to stay end to end. im in sheer awe of your skills. a button to add a ball would be nice though. but would tht make the tentacles screw up with 2 of em?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yea, i was thinking about be able to add a ball, but that would confuse the tentacles and look wierd, so i decided not to.
Maybe i will play with it in the near future. For now, enjoy this one.
