    This is not a bad thing or any thing but I just wonder. Why do you have"add to the cart" in the free tools and templates so you must fill in your personal information? This makes me really unsecure and I not downloading from your website and that's and pitty because I really like some of your free tools and templates. Why don't just put in a download link in the description of the free template/free tool. Appricete for an answer

    @Utveckla_Games Yes its not a complete game otherwise we would have to charge for it but if you follow the red or yellow rules this is something you can add very easily.

    @Fajlajp We like to keep track of our user base and let users know of any exciting new projects over at DBA, if your not on our newsletter you will miss out.

    You don't have to fill in your full name or address it only really requires your email so we can send you the templates.

    And I will not get any payment bill if I download a free project, right? Just a order to my email of what I´ve downloaded:)¨

    Edit: It stands that the payment were accepted, so I not have to care of anything anymore?
  • UtopianGamesUtopianGames Member Posts: 5,692
    Correct, free templates are free and you won't be charged as you don't enter your payment info.

    Great stuff Darren, you guys are always so generous. I wish i would have had this before I made my Bumper Pool game.

    Thanks for the awesome template! I was wondering what the line on one side of the pool table is. The one running across the table. Thank you!

    I have a question. I downloaded the resources file from @DeepBlueApps, and there are so many great templates to choose from. But my questions is about the graphics. Are we allowed to use the graphics in our games free of charge or is there a royalty we need to pay. Whether the app goes free or paid.
    Thanks

    thank you very much appreciated, great work as always :)
  • UtopianGamesUtopianGames Member Posts: 5,692
    @pnmelville its just part of the table art and where you should break off from (behind the line)

    @Bluemoonstudios yes you can use the art and music in all our wares but we recommend you change them to make them unique to you.

    Awesome template as ever!

    There are 2 real issues and I'm wondering if Gamesalad has the capability to deal with these:

    1. When the white ball hits a cushion at a very shallow angle, it 'clings to the cushion, rather than bouncing off it, I'm not sure whether this is Drag on the white ball creating an incorrect bouncing angle or something else. (In fact bouncing angle seems to be off quite a bit in general...)

    2. English (or spin) on the cueball. A lot of pool/snooker apps seem to struggle with this, and certainly this template suffers greatly from it. It doesnt take into account the angles that the balls contact each other. So if the white balls glances of the side of an object ball, and you have screw (bottom) on the white ball, it should not still come straight back to the cue (as it would if you hit the object ball straight on.)

    You need to somehow - and this is where I am wondering if Gamesalad could do this - take into account the angle the balls contact each other when calculating the white ball direction after contact.

    Also the spin has no effect on the cushions at the this point, but as its a free template...

    I'd love to create a realistic pool game (or at least a game that uses the physics of pool) but whether this is possible, I dunno.

    please dont take my above post as critism! More just an inquiry as to a solution!

    I dont want to seem like the guy who is bad mouthing something Darren has kindly given us for free!

    The angle of bounce off the cushions could be done like our Puzzle Bobble template where we use a reverse motion linear rule.



    The other problem i found was if a ball was already on the cushions it didn't bounce off properly but im sure you could make a rule to see if its overlapping with cushion and cue ball and sort that one out.

    Theres some other issues but yes im pretty sure it is possible to do a near perfect pool game with GS.

    This is a great template, and I've played around with it a lot. But I'm still not able to complete this and make it 8ball or 9ball. Has anyone actually finished a complete pool game with GameSalad?

    If not, would anyone like to join up with me to do just that, using the DBA template as a starting point?
