I have a game with a bouncing red ball that has to get to the top of the screen, (fighting against gravity) until it reaches a goal number of screens crossed but it doesn't work unless downloaded (something I am trying to fix) so you might not want to add it.
plz check this out, i worked reallly hard on it. its a bouncing ball game, with accurate physics, and its pretty addicting too. Please play! thank you

Most of the projects here are pretty simple. The idea of the Gallery is to show how to implement "gravity". If you look thru the projects starting with the first "GravityGuy", and take the time to understand how each one works, you could make your own - no problem!
I think demo galleries are a great idea. I'd like to see a "user input" gallery (that shows the repeat rate problem that the When Keypressed "hats" have") and a "variables are cool" gallery. The first is pretty easy to imagine, but how to illustrate the usefullness of variables might be a bit tougher. Variables smell of Algebra to young people, and getting past the "I don't need this" barrier has always been a problem. I'm sure the Phoenicians discussed it in their day...
I love the idea of setting up some demo galleries. We need more like this. Have you looked at the code behind most of the Dress-up games for instance? A lot of them don't even have any code, they just use the draggable sprites! Lots of room for improvement. So say we build a set of example galleries like this...maybe we could get a link to them off the Home Page or something, some way for people to find them easily. Hmmm, sorry to babble all over your gallery, feel free to delete. I just think there's room for improvment in the learning process, specifically locating good example projects.
You might also want this project - it shows how to do the same thing as Trigonometry Cannon - but without using Trig!

Paddle2, I think the cannon is a good demo. I haven't messed with trig in Scratch, and have actually avoided it, but the idea of the gallery was to show different ways to do things!
What a great idea for a gallery! I put my Trigonometry Cannon demo in. It shows simple projectile motion with "wind effects". Let me know if you think it is too complex. I know it should be documented - if I get some time tommorow I'll take a stab at it. Sure could use that comment block!
Archmage, I can't seem to add your projects, but feel free to put them in. (I can go to your project, click add to gallery, and even select it in the pop-up, but I don't get an "accept" button.)
Thanx; I'll mix in some project by other Scratcheers to show different styles. At this point, I'm still unable to add (even my own) from my home computer. For now, interested people can follow your links.
You are welcome to add the School Pinball game at (link to project)">(link to project)
It demonstrates both gravity and bouncing off of straight and round objects.

Can you add mine? (link to project)">(link to project)
I fixed my game, it runs online now.

I have a gravity scroller you might be interested in. It also uses the classic equations of motion. (link to project)">(link to project)
please add this one if you like...is not much gravity...but a bit...;) (link to project)">(link to project)
add my project called tank the tank has gravity

Got a spate of projects on gravity/velocity here: http://scratch.mit.edu/users/boisvert">http://scratch.mit.edu/users/boisvert add if you wish.
I dunno... mabye this is one?(link to project)">(link to project)
Check out my Velocity Playing with abs game. Click my name
How do you do that stuff?

THANK YOU!
WOW al this is so cool! icwouldnt be able to make somthing like this!

Kevin, I think your project is too advanced for the intent of this gallery, but Thanx.

I made a simple but efficient sprite movement demo that you can include as well. (link to project)">(link to project)
Cool gallery! Hey, do you think you can add my gravity project as well? (link to project)">(link to project)
