Dang! I could of drawn a picture with the colored balls AND have the pyramid magically appear as from all the balls flying around slowly finding their resting place. BBL

Wow, it's been just a couple of months since I have posted this but seems like a year. BTW I did finish the BBL later thing and was not impressed and other things came up, so apologies for that if anyone was waiting....

Sand in 2D is easy from this, if I recall, just adjust the bounce factors. But if you want a really cool 3D sim, Ashish would be likely of great help with the GL stuff.

Glass-like graphics effects might be interesting to explore! Does anyone have some simple models?

Oh Petr did some transparency stuff for buttons but need shiny glass reflecting surround colors if not images fit onto the glass surface and distorted according to glass shape. (Yikes more 3D stuff!)

How is this for a nice effect?

...

I like this much better:
https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=262.0

[banned user], if you modify my code could you write that somewhere on or around title.

I don't understand the need or use of map!

And what have you against the sounds?  ;D

Hi [banned user],

The mirror effect helps explain what I first saw. I like silence too, and the song and unique sounds. Thanks for adding notes to code.


Hi V,

The hour glass is good start, ball containment seems first priority but some are being contained, I will look into what you are doing with that more closely.

The 2nd one with the numbers rotated on balls is cool and it would be really interesting if a constant but different spin were added to each ball as they move around. Nice one guys!

I have to confess, when I saw hour glass running I was thinking lottery and the ping pong balls WITH NUMBERS flying around! :D
