Hi,

I wish to create a MC that will duplicate itself x amount of times. Then, I want those MC’s to bounce and float around a confined area, detecting collision of each other and the frame its within.

Does anyone know of a good, straight forward tutorial for me to follow. I’ve searched and come up with hundreds, so I’d appreciate help in narrowing it down.

Cheers. YP

None of them were really exactly what I wanted to do to be honest. But I will check the tutorial out on here and start from there.

Thanks.

> I want those MC’s to bounce

are the mc’s circles or boxes.  
It’s easy… . … … well easier with boxes than with circles
