Easing
www.bit-101.com -good tutes in actionScript!!
Boundries -do a search here
hitTest -paddle to puck, puck to goal.
…and math…

that, and do a search for a pong type game, I think really the only difference would be that with air hockey the paddles are not bound to only move on a Y axis.

Eh… The bounding boxes for the paddles would have to be each’s half court line… Just make use of the code that marks the old x location to get a source for power then…

Just look around for the throwing ball stuff… :slight_smile: Where you can throw a ball in the air… the code that allow you to throw that ball is a source of power code… transfer that to a pong type ball that bounces and you have air hockey… :stuck_out_tongue:

and limit the goal area, don’t forget that.

One more thing that hadn’t been mentioned: The puck has to have some drag added to it as well. Good luck!! :slight_smile:
