Rope Simulation?
I know this is a big job for such a small project, but if someone could teach me how to make a rope simulation without copying?
EDIT: 3000th post!

How long a rope? I finally figured out how to do a simple 1 string rope, but I have no idea how to do something like Rhy's rope.

The longest it can get without lagging a whole bunch online 
It needs alot of gravity too.

Re: Rope Simulation?
No, no. I mean how many segments. I can get it any length, but the amount of segments makes it harder.

Darn. Anything at all? It doesn't really matter how many segments

Re: Rope Simulation?
Well, you need a few variables, but first, are you using velocity and scrolling?

Nope. But part of the rope needs to stay stationary, while the other part is stretchy and loose 
It's for a virtual simulator of a "Pull my string! I talk!" toy

Re: Rope Simulation?
Alrighty. I figured out a little of the stuff that I needed, but I've got to go to soccer, so I'll have to work on it later.

Re: Rope Simulation?
Ok, I need to know what you want the rope to do. Is it swinging, zipping back, etc?

Re: Rope Simulation?
Well then, you might just need one sprite that goes to the mouse until it reaches a certain distance. Then it snaps back by changing a variable.
