Re: Easy Gravity

How would that work? Where does gravity point to? How strong is it? How big is the object?

Do you see why this isn't a good idea?

How many objects? Which sprites are gravitized and which aren't? Is it like N-body gravity or platformer gravity? The list goes on and on...

Re: Easy Gravity

gravity is too complex to merit its own block/function in the scratch program. scratch blocks are meant to be only the basic functions.

if you dont understand gravity i suggest you search around the scratch wiki or ask for help in help with scripts

Re: Easy Gravity

Try Stencyl, that has fancy gravity and collisions and is a lot like Scratch.
