Plinko game ideas
Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone has built a Plinko-type game in Storyline. This is Plinko: Plinko | The Price Is Right Wiki | Fandom
The idea is there would be a board and a ball would be dropped ...
Hi Shela, great idea. It would be so visually interesting, and if you could get audio then it will be amazing.
In my old game development days, I would code this in javascript with some sort of rudimentary physics engine.....
Unfortunately that's not as easy in Storyline, so I would actually go for something easier. First create enough individual videos of the plink dropping down different paths using some.animation tool or after effects etc.
Then just randomly choose one outcome in storyline, and play that video.
Easy but effective! 😋👌
Thanks for the suggestion, Andrew! With time, this would be a fun way to put it together. I'm at the prototype stage and actually ended up putting something very simple together with a plinko board image, a storyline shape moved along a slow motion path, and then a glow effect that appears around the destination slot when the motion path ends. A question can pop up at this point, or it can be activated with a click. Still in beginning stages, so we'll see how it unfolds...
Thanks again!!
Shela - I would love to see this! I was thinking about doing the same thing! I spent a day last week looking up a good image to use, and then trying to determine the best way to use motion paths to make it believable! I am looking forward to seeing your ideas!
Hey Lisa - Happy to share what I can once I've worked on it more. Feel free to share anything you come up with as well. It's a fun challenge for sure!
