Peggle Clone?

I just need a head start of sorts. Seeing as there isn't a pinball movement. How would O go about making a peggle clone?

id say the physics behaviour, since peggle has quite complex ball dynamics, and can roll on smooth surfaces ect. you have to set elasticity on the ball to 100 and world gravity to 50

Thing is, there isn't a circular collision for that, yet.

yes there is, its called ellipse...

Yeah. but it doesn't seem to do a good job. It collides more like a ellipse than circular one.

ellipse only means an circle with variable height and width, its what a rectangle is to a square. and a rectangle can be a square, same principle applies here.

as long as your sprites height and width are the same, it will collide as a circle. and i guarantee that you wont get an easier and better working way with anything besides physics

you could also try writing your own circular reflection bounce, I think lucid had an example or something around here. Custom movement should help with the stepping also. I'd say go physics or custom movement+custom bounce code, don't go with the built in bounce, it's not great for realistic circular reflections. Give it a try anyhow.

Yeah. It's shame though, I totally forgot how to write a custom bounce.
