Angry Birds?

I have a question about how angry birds was created. What I mean is when the bird hits the boxes or barriers how does that effect work? It seems when you hit them they fall,..well tumble is more like it. Very smooth and it looks like real boxes or whatever is falling to the ground,..not just straight down and they also can take a hit and not all fall until they are hit harder. Would this be some sort of physics code needed to do this? Does anyone have any idea of how it's done or have an example of this? Seems very complicated.
Thank you.....

It's a physics simulation, yes - try one of the Phizix extensions.

Thank you Jamie,
My lord,..that is just amazing! I have to spend some time with this as the code is very complicated. I don't even know where to start!

Hey. In your case I would start with box2d. I also used phizix - its a great and VERY SIMPLE!! engine, so easy to understand and it works very, very fine!! - but i would def. use box2d. It´s a bit more complicated in the beginning i guess, but you can use it with the swf exporter and hopefully with the android / ios exporter in the future. Phizix will not be ported I´m afraid.

iamjot,. thank you. Yes, it seems to be not that bad once I took a look at the events and how they are written. Still, it is complex IMO.

I have never been able to wrap my head around the coding of the Physix Object. I would love if this could be simplified or a detailed tutorial was posted outlining its use. I would also love to have it ported to the iOS as a lot of iOS games seems to use physics in their gameplay.

Which one? There are two: Chipmunk, which is easier to understand due to its extreme simplicity, and Box2D, which has a lot more cool stuff in it.

I'm not even aware of Box2D though I have seen a few people mention it on the forum today. I only know the Chupmunk Physix Object which comes with MMF.

Cool kids write their own physics engines though :P

Ive been looking at the code all day,.and still having issue understanding it. Paul, like you said, it's way over my head too. I guess I would need to go back to school just to learn Physics! Did any of you check out the examples he/they wrote for this extension and look in the event editor? It's like a foreign language...,.but the way the objects interact with each other is amazing!

Paul. There is an open source example on my website. Includes conveyors, boxes, character and etc Maybe it will help.

Hi Marv! Thanks for posting all your examples. They are a really big help. When you refer to your examples site,.can you post where the example is on your site, (page # it's on) It's kind of hard to find things as I/we have to go through 25+ pages and give or take 250 examples to find it,...LMAO!! Lately when I let members know that there is an example on your site to look at for help, I let them know what page # it's on and sometimes I include the name of the example.

There is a Site Map for the examples on one page that is easy to navigate.

I never noticed that before. Wow, that makes it easier to find things. :D

Yea, there is a link for that on all the pages.

Hi Marv,

Can you say the name of example? I didn't found it.

EDIT:
Oh, I finally found :D

Yes, of course:

Box 2D Movement Example

Thanks, Marv :D

Thanks Marv,..much better.......
