Your code has done exactly what i need, something which would have taken me a long time.
I feel humbled by the people on this forum who go out of ...

Re: Can this be done in PB?

thanks for the reply.. you make it sound so easy! :D

Seriously that has given me a direction at least.
Of course if you don't mind the whole window fading, client,frame,caption and all, it's remarkably simple- just layer the window with LWA_ALPHA alone, control this with your ...

Physics in 2d Game

Hi
i am not asking how to do it, but is it possible to have physics integrated into a 2d game similar to the physics in the popular iphone game Angry Birds.
Is it practical to program such a game with PB. I have seen some good 3d stuff done in PB but not much 2d.

thanks
