Shoot arrows and hit a moving target.
A long time ago, I was asked to make a Bow and Arrow game. I finally got around to thinking about it and came up with a really simple approach for dealing with the arrow angle that looks reasonably realistic that I thought I would share.
It turns the arrow clockwise at a rate proportional to the sine of the direction angle. So, straight up or down, there is no turning. Horizontal (90 degrees) there is maximum turning and so on.

The archer is from Wikipedia Commons and is originally from the Bayeux Tapestry so the image (before I mangled it) was created almost 1000 years ago
The bow string release sound I got from Shanesta's Archery Champion Beta game.
The bell sound is from www.soundsnap.com

14 hits 30 shots
nice good game good idea
10 hits 30 shots
I think that it is kind of boring.
Oh well. How do you think it could be made more exciting?
it aint helping
Okay...what would you find helpful?
What's it supposed to be helping?
(view all replies)wow!!
nice
30 of 30
Wow! A perfect score! I've never been able to quite do that myself :)
(view all replies)not bad
nice job..!
At school my Tech Swamp teacher saw this and he thought you did very well with it. He like s to do hunting and shoot and so do I.
Thanks! Just curious...what does a Tech Swamp teacher teach? That's an interesting title!
This is quite well done. It's a very thoughtful game, and the arrows feel right.
Thanks! I'm glad you think so.
15 over 30; Nice concept for a game, I really liked it!
20 of 30, not too shabby.
Not shabby at all...very good!
Tricky!
AWESOME!!
Pretty Cool!
hey thanks alot man. that helps alot cuz i just started today and i am pretty confused. thanx again
dude this is a pretty sick game. idk how to make like the arrow fly off tho can you teach me?
You're looking for some help with making a shooting game? Here is a simple shooting tutorial to get you started... (link to project)">(link to project)
This is awesome!
COOOOL! : )
This is so good! I'm gonna try and do something like this.. could you go to my profile and give some hints? thnxx byee
wow! this is so much fun and cool! you are always making great games and animations.! keep up the good work!!!!!!!You are doing an awsome job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
24 hits!
That's very, very good!
Accuracy Variable would be cool, just the percent of shots that are hits. Anyway, Really cool game. Wonder if anyone has made their own Bow Man Game.
On that track, Mind if i use this bow/arrow system for a game like that?
(view all replies)wow cool

I LOVE IT< THIS IS THE FUNNEST GAME SINCE DROID aRMY BETA...
i used your sprite i hope you don't mind (link to project)">(link to project)
Very clever scriptwork... haha I like the "Prepare for upload" Broadcast... And the forbidden zone is interesting. You realize you can hide that layer completely rather than using ghost, and collision will still be detected?
I've always been a bit confused as to whether collision detection works on hidden sprites. I thought at one point I had a case where it did not. I guess I'll have to take another look at them, if you say it works! Thanks.

R U workin on any projects
Nothing too exciting at the moment. Sorry.
(view all replies)hi paddle last 3 projects plz look?
Hi paddle, apparently u asked lanie to tell u when a game completed by gray bear productions came out. well, crash scratchsanity just came out and is finished. i would give u link but i get the spam message because i already showed lanie and jasb. though, u can find it in the Gray Bear Productions Gallery or my newest project
i remix it have
please look at some of mine prowjects!
Awesome! P.S. I want to be your friend!
iv been destracted from scratch by this (link to project)">(link to project)
i <3 it
AWESOME! I love archery, so this is a great game!
and it is very fun, by the way :)
after a certain amount of shots, you should make the game stop then give a shot to hit ratio! that would be a good way to represent the score
It's a good idea! I sort of do that now...you can tell if your hit ratio is better than .7, you will be shooting at the little gold target. If the hit ratio is better than .5, you get the medium size silver target. Less than .5 (or early in the shooting run), you get the big bronze target.
(view all replies)I love it! (though you might have made the arrow go slower when it goes up and speed up when it goes down)
I have another project that models an arrow with gravity...but it's more complicated and I haven't made it into a game. I really like the simplicity of this model - I figure it's more useful to people (for remixes) if I keep it simple. Thanks for the feedback though!
Hey congratz Paddle2see your game got posted in the Gameinator. Only the coolest games get posted there! Check it out!
soooooooo cooooooooool
is aweome
Have not played it yet, but i like archery, so i probably like it
cool game
Great! for some reason the game freezes and stops when i click a mouse button so i don't know the awnser to my question: does the arow have wind/air ressistance?
No, I didn't model any resistances. I was looking for the simplest way to make a reasonably realistic looking arrow. It's not an accurate physics model. What's with this freezing issue?
(link to project)">(link to project) can you check this out on your fix it account I don't know what's wrong with it
it's hard to get the hang of but is pretty cool
Thanks...yeah, I'm not really pleased with the target motion at this point...it's kind of abrupt. Maybe I'll smooth it out some.

check out hellboy's cat
check out this (link to project)">(link to project)
ooh the ball changing once you hit is pretty cool , could you make it where your run after the ball and try and shoot?
shooting thrugh the ground WTF
i like it
maybe make it player vs player could be funner , maybe 10 good shots on other player wins? :]
That sounds like it could be a good game! The interface would have to change from mouse control to key control since there is only one mouse :) I don't have any interest in two player games myself but if you want to remix it, go right ahead.
