Paintable Canvas Hacks

[justinedwards.jle]

Gaming Applications:

I was showing off the paintable canvas to my son and simultaneous showing him some practical applications for the vector math he was studying in trigonometry class. Things probably got a little carried away, and Bananas! was born. The whole game is rendered by a single paintable canvas, so there are a lot of cool hacks in there: slider controls, switches, buttons, animations, etc.

Introducing Bananas!

A single or multiplayer video game for Vision. To Play: Select whether each player will be a robot or a human. Select how many victories are required to win the game, and adjust the gravity if desired. Finally, click the 'Start Game' button. Object of the game: Hit the other monkey with a banana by adjusting the angle and velocity of the throw. The game can be played with a single player, two players, or it's also possible to make both players virtual and just watch the monkeys fight it out. …

I had already constructed some of the ground work this a couple of years ago when I made this post:

Add script to dynamically created objects

Just for fun:

That code includes moving dynamically created shapes around inside a canvas with a mouse, and it has various animation concepts such as momentum, reflection, etc.
