Bouncing Ball

A simple physics simulation using raylib where you can drag and shoot a ball that bounces off the walls, with gravity and sound effects.

Features

• Intuitive Drag and Shoot: Click and drag with your mouse to set the angle and power, then release to launch the ball.
• Realistic Physics: The ball bounces off the walls with velocity dampening and is continuously pulled downward by gravity.
• Sound Effects: A satisfying damp sound plays every time the ball collides with a wall for an immersive experience.

Requirements

• raylib (v4.0 or higher recommended)
• C++ compiler (e.g., g++, clang++, MinGW)
• CMake or Make (optional, for building)

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Am1n1602/bouncing-ball.git
cd bouncing-ball

2. Install raylib

On Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

sudo apt-get install libraylib-dev

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/raysan5/raylib.git
cd raylib
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

See the raylib wiki for Linux for further details.

On Windows:

• Download and run the raylib installer for Windows.
• Or, set up raylib with MSYS2:

  pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-raylib

• For Visual Studio or more, see the raylib Windows guide.

3. Build the project

Using Makefile

make

Using CMake (Recommended)

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make

Compile manually (if needed/Not Tested)

g++ source.cpp -o bouncing-ball -lraylib -lGL -lm -lpthread -ldl -lrt -lX11

(Adjust linker flags as needed for your OS.)

4. Run the simulation

./bouncing-ball

How to Play

• Drag: Click and drag the ball with your mouse to choose direction and force.
• Shoot: Release the mouse button to launch.
• Bounce: The ball will bounce off the walls and be pulled down by gravity.
• Listen: Each wall collision triggers a damp sound effect.

Demo

Issues

Sound effect is not working on Linux devices.
