can no one help me?:(

Would the physics (no real physics) of MandrinPinball work for you? HM... BAd idea.... Real physics are better if you can use them.

Can you mail me your level & code ? mgrubert@conitec.net

It's really just a matter of playing around with the numbers until the ball acts the way you want it to. Reducing friction and torque are a good start but if your level planes have different slopes then obviously the setting that just about keeps the ball from rolling up the steep slope will allow the ball to easily climb a shallow one.

A couple of ideas:
Compare current and previous z position. If z has increased then apply a force from current to old position or even better add a counter-torque that slows down the ball so that it can't move on in this direction. Also check the current rotational speed and stop adding torque if it's above a certain threshold.

have you taken a physics class? if you did, think about how a force is broken up into components, and set the up component to the up key, the down component to the down key, and so on. and set this into a while loop.
if you don't know how to break it up into comonents i will help you out. but i will not spill my ball code just like that tho! it took me a while to figure it out!

Thanks for all the help.
I think I can solve the problem now. And otherwise I'll ask again.
