SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

I'm working on a Pub Darts Game. So far the scoring detection is in place. Lots to do. Below is a small gif.

I saw this this morning - looks neat.

I haven't played darts in years.

Very British pub game really.

Are you going with the energy bar throw approach or/and maybe shaking?

The board looks nice. Maybe it could use a bit of texure?   

Thanks all. For the aiming it's going to be a very simple system. I just want people to have fun. I don't want to over simulate the aiming system. The dartboard will be revamped giving it a bit more life, yes.

Set it in a virtual pub with some ragtime music and a few simple AI competitors to play against for a trophy or something. That will give the game a bit of atmosphere.

angle and distance. Very clever

Thank you. It seemed infinitely easier than splitting the sprite into sections and checking each for collisions.

That's the exact method I used in my game comp entry Much easier to use a little math for this kind of thing.

Physics libs and collision libs have made us lazy! Glad to see some good ole' math routines used to check stuff these days. : )

Well one.

I think "seeing" the math is half the problem

What is the maths? I can't work out how it's getting the correct numbers based on the numbers on screen.

Angles doesn't seem right to me, and how is distance used?

Each "segment" of the pie lies in an 18 degree range (From the center of the pie). (360 / 20 segments = 18)
The distance from the center of the board determines the multiplier, zero (if it's beyond the scoring area) or the two bulls eyes

As Blink said!
