I am making a bowling game and most of the time when you toss the ball in to the pins the entire project freezes up. However the project works fine when played from the scratch program. I cannot find what is causing the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

The buggy project ----> http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/archmage/101881

I just tried another way for the pins to detect collisions with other pins and it still freezes. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/archmage/103108

Many users, including myself, are encountering freezes and other glitches using collision detection in the online version which don't occur in Scratch. I'd definitely like to see these resolved, too.

My example:

It seems to lock when there isn't a collision going on.

After several edits, something that I've done is letting the project run! (It's a bouncing ball with no user input.) I have noticed that an odd bounce shows up occasionally; I wonder if the Java version has a problem with angles (perhaps a trig function is "blowing up") that doesn't happen in the Scratch environment?

On the web it is working perfect for me. Just your computer probably. It works fine.

I changed it so that the pins don't check for other pins. They just check for the colour red on the other pins. When I tried to make the pins detect the other pins it would freeze.

Maybe, its because you over-programmed the limit on scratch!

But it worked when I played it on the scratch program. There is probally a bug in the java scratch player.

I still say it's your computer.

archmage · 2008-02-25 18:58:20

I tried it on several computers with the same result. You probably only played the project that uses colour sensing instead of collision testing for all the pins.

Not related to this project, but projects which have a "change mosaic by x" block inside an infinite forever loop appear to cause IE to totally lock up.

No archmage, I just tried the bowling you have right now. On February 26th, 2008 at 3:07 PM(EST)

The bowling I have on right now is FIXED. I updated it a while ago.

I reuploaded the broken version, try it out. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/archmage/107609

I don't see the problem with the "broken" (atleast you say) version.
