Rolling a Sphere with Keyboard and Box2DFlash Physics
You really didn’t think I was just going to leave yesterday’s example with just one ball rolling around, did you?
Remember to click the .swf to give it focus. The main rolling ball is randomized, so the .swf will look different each time you open it.
The source is a mess. I basically copied and pasted code from my other Box2DFlash examples. The only real new stuff here is using the “gravityOffset” to cancel out gravity and the m_linearVelocity to set the velocity within Box2DFlash.
