Figure 6-2 . Throwing a projectile with a slingshot
You can't imagine how many metal cans I shot at when I was a kid. I lived in a
pretty rural area and slingshot competitions were common among young boys.
We weren't using birds as projectiles and we weren't shooting at animals…but
we may have had a few fights. I also replaced quite a few glass windows in my
neighborhood.
Enough memories! Let's play with a digital slingshot now. I will show you the
basic components of the slingshot in GameSalad.
Creating the Project File
Create a new project in GameSalad and save the file as
'' CanonShowPartI.gameproj .'' You're calling it ''CanonShow'' because in the
gaming area, all concepts used in this chapter are referred as Canon physics.
In the Project Info tab, use the information in Table 6-1.
