I'm a web developer, and have been for 10 years now. A couple of years ago I started making small games for advertising purpose, like slotmachines where you could win iPhones and such. VERY simple games.
Now I want to step it up a notch, and I have an idea I want to start with, but I lack knowledge on where to start, how to approach it and such.
My game
My game is a horse track carnival game, where you toss balls into holes which will make your horse move.
The ball game will be vertical, so this is what I need to know:
- How can I aim the ball, dragging from it, the opposite way? Angry-birds-like.
- How do I calculate the path and speed/duration?
Do I need a game libery, or what do you suggest me to do?
Thank you in advance :)
