    Hello friends and welcome to obsidian
  • 00:00:06
    soft
  • 00:00:08
    in this tutorial I will teach you how to
  • 00:00:10
    make a cool but easy basketball game in
  • 00:00:13
    MIT App Inventor
  • 00:00:15
    first of all open up MIT App Inventor go
  • 00:00:18
    to projects start a new project and call
  • 00:00:21
    it basketball
  • 00:00:27
    for screen one make a line horizontal
  • 00:00:29
    Center align vertical Center let's
  • 00:00:33
    upload some media so I will be uploading
  • 00:00:36
    a basketball court image in vertical
  • 00:00:39
    form
  • 00:00:41
    from drawing and animation
  • 00:00:44
    drag and drop a canvas make the height
  • 00:00:48
    and width both
  • 00:00:50
    95 percent
  • 00:00:55
    and
  • 00:00:57
    choose the background image the image
  • 00:00:59
    that we uploaded earlier and I'm also
  • 00:01:03
    going to make the paint color white
  • 00:01:06
    and the font size
  • 00:01:10
    30 because I will be also drawing the
  • 00:01:15
    score as a text
  • 00:01:16
    in the middle of the canvas now from
  • 00:01:19
    drawing an animation again drag and drop
  • 00:01:23
    two ball Sprites
  • 00:01:25
    rename the first one to ball so this
  • 00:01:30
    will be our actual basketball
  • 00:01:33
    and we are going to make the radius 13
  • 00:01:39
    and I'm going to make its interval which
  • 00:01:42
    is the interval after which it moves
  • 00:01:45
    to 50 milliseconds and I'm also going to
  • 00:01:49
    make the
  • 00:01:50
    color of the ball by going to paint
  • 00:01:53
    color a dark orange color so let's go to
  • 00:01:57
    custom and use it dark orange color Okay
  • 00:02:03
    rename the second ball Sprite
  • 00:02:07
    to basket
  • 00:02:09
    this will be actually an almost
  • 00:02:11
    invisible Sprite which will be
  • 00:02:14
    positioned over our Basket in this
  • 00:02:18
    basketball court image okay and the
  • 00:02:21
    reason we are not going to be making it
  • 00:02:24
    Invisible by unchecking visible is
  • 00:02:27
    because then we will not be able to
  • 00:02:29
    detect Collision events so for detecting
  • 00:02:33
    Collision events we have to make it
  • 00:02:35
    visible but we are going to make it
  • 00:02:37
    transparent by going to its paint color
  • 00:02:42
    and choosing again custom and choosing a
  • 00:02:47
    somewhat similar color to this color
  • 00:02:49
    where the basket is actually located so
  • 00:02:54
    somewhere here let's make it a bit
  • 00:02:56
    lighter and I'm also going to reduce
  • 00:03:00
    its opacity
  • 00:03:03
    so it becomes transparent
  • 00:03:07
    so as you can see it's not visible
  • 00:03:09
    anymore
  • 00:03:11
    I'm going to make its radius
  • 00:03:14
    10. we will give both these Sprites the
  • 00:03:17
    ball and the basket the position on this
  • 00:03:20
    canvas in the cord in the block section
  • 00:03:22
    now from sensors
  • 00:03:25
    drag and drop a clock sensor and I will
  • 00:03:28
    tell you why it is needed when we go to
  • 00:03:31
    the code but just make the time and
  • 00:03:34
    turbo 200 and the timer should always
  • 00:03:36
    fire and the timer should be enabled our
  • 00:03:39
    screen design is done so let's go to the
  • 00:03:41
    block section get the balls
  • 00:03:44
    get flung event
  • 00:03:47
    that is the event that is triggered when
  • 00:03:49
    we fling our finger on the screen and we
  • 00:03:53
    are going to set our ball speed to the
  • 00:03:56
    speed of the fling multiply by seven so
  • 00:03:59
    go to maths and get the multiplication
  • 00:04:02
    block and from ball get
  • 00:04:06
    etceter for Speed so set the speed to a
  • 00:04:11
    multiplication of the speed of the fling
  • 00:04:15
    so get speed multiply by 7.
  • 00:04:23
    and we are going to set the balls
  • 00:04:25
    heading
  • 00:04:27
    that is Direction
  • 00:04:31
    to The Heading of the fling
  • 00:04:36
    now why do we need the clock
  • 00:04:39
    so first get its timer event which is
  • 00:04:42
    triggered after 200 million seconds now
  • 00:04:46
    in this timer we will be setting the
  • 00:04:48
    invisible baskets position to be on top
  • 00:04:52
    of the actual basket here but why are we
  • 00:04:55
    not doing it in screens initialize event
  • 00:04:59
    and why hair because I have noticed that
  • 00:05:01
    in iPhone any initialization using
  • 00:05:04
    screen properties such as screen height
  • 00:05:06
    of it doesn't work properly in the
  • 00:05:09
    screen initialize event it is better to
  • 00:05:11
    do with such kind of work after a tiny
  • 00:05:14
    bit of delay that is I'm using 200
  • 00:05:16
    milliseconds here and when the timer
  • 00:05:19
    will go off we will set our basket's
  • 00:05:21
    position okay but first of all let's
  • 00:05:24
    disable the timer so that it doesn't
  • 00:05:26
    keep on firing so disable it by making
  • 00:05:30
    timer enabled to fall so from logic we
  • 00:05:33
    got the false clock
  • 00:05:35
    after disabling the timer we are going
  • 00:05:38
    to set the position of our basket so
  • 00:05:42
    setbasket dot x to the middle of the
  • 00:05:46
    canvas
  • 00:05:48
    in terms of width that is horizontally
  • 00:05:51
    so we have done this kind of calculation
  • 00:05:54
    before 2 this is
  • 00:05:56
    using maths block we need
  • 00:06:00
    a minus block and we need a division
  • 00:06:03
    block and we will be
  • 00:06:07
    plugging the division block here and
  • 00:06:11
    this is canvas dot width
  • 00:06:17
    divided by 2
  • 00:06:20
    and we have to also take care of the
  • 00:06:23
    balls width divided by 2 but we don't
  • 00:06:25
    have to divide it by 2 because we are
  • 00:06:27
    going to use the radius here which is
  • 00:06:29
    already
  • 00:06:30
    the balls sorry the baskets
  • 00:06:33
    width divided by 2.
  • 00:06:36
    so basket radius here it is
  • 00:06:41
    and this will give us the X position in
  • 00:06:44
    the middle of the screen for our basket
  • 00:06:46
    and I know that for my basket to come
  • 00:06:52
    over that image the Y should be
  • 00:06:57
    50.
  • 00:06:59
    so
  • 00:07:02
    the Y might be different for you if
  • 00:07:04
    you're using a different
  • 00:07:06
    basketball court image
  • 00:07:09
    okay next what happens when something
  • 00:07:11
    collides with our invisible basket it is
  • 00:07:16
    the ball so we should increase our score
  • 00:07:19
    but we should also reset a ball to its
  • 00:07:24
    starting or original position on the
  • 00:07:26
    canvas so let's first make a procedure
  • 00:07:29
    by going to procedure
  • 00:07:31
    and getting this
  • 00:07:33
    first block and call it reset ball
  • 00:07:39
    because we will be using it more than
  • 00:07:41
    once so it's better to make a procedure
  • 00:07:43
    first of all we are going to set the
  • 00:07:46
    pulse speed to zero because we don't
  • 00:07:49
    want the ball to keep on moving after
  • 00:07:52
    being reset so set the balls speed to
  • 00:07:57
    zero
  • 00:08:02
    and then we are going to give it a
  • 00:08:05
    position
  • 00:08:07
    in the middle of the canvas width wise
  • 00:08:09
    but somewhere over here okay so that is
  • 00:08:13
    its original or starting position so we
  • 00:08:16
    can duplicate this one because this will
  • 00:08:18
    give us the middle of the canvas for
  • 00:08:21
    balls X
  • 00:08:23
    but we just need to change the basket to
  • 00:08:25
    ball
  • 00:08:27
    and duplicate this
  • 00:08:29
    but here for the balls why we are going
  • 00:08:33
    to do a bit of calculation and it will
  • 00:08:36
    be a minus block from Max
  • 00:08:40
    okay and here
  • 00:08:44
    we are going to be subtracting
  • 00:08:48
    200 from the canvases height so I can
  • 00:08:52
    plug it back in and this is 200 and this
  • 00:08:55
    will give us a very nice balls original
  • 00:08:58
    position somewhere over here
  • 00:09:01
    okay also make a global variable by
  • 00:09:04
    going to variables for a score and
  • 00:09:08
    assign it zero so from Max get to zero
  • 00:09:12
    block
  • 00:09:14
    next we get the collided event for our
  • 00:09:18
    basket so when the basket
  • 00:09:22
    collides with some Sprites so in our
  • 00:09:26
    case it will be the ball so check when
  • 00:09:29
    it collides and for that we need from
  • 00:09:32
    control the if then block and here we
  • 00:09:36
    are going to check if our basket is
  • 00:09:38
    colliding with the ball okay so go to
  • 00:09:42
    basket and
  • 00:09:44
    use this procedure call
  • 00:09:48
    basket dot colliding with and the other
  • 00:09:51
    hair is the ball so if I go to ball
  • 00:09:54
    I can get its component its exact down
  • 00:09:57
    at the end
  • 00:09:59
    so if the basket is colliding with the
  • 00:10:01
    ball we are first of all going to reset
  • 00:10:04
    our ball
  • 00:10:05
    so call the procedure reset ball
  • 00:10:10
    and we're also going to clear up our
  • 00:10:12
    canvas because we are going to redraw
  • 00:10:14
    the new score
  • 00:10:16
    now we have to get the new score
  • 00:10:19
    so set Global score to a plus
  • 00:10:24
    of
  • 00:10:25
    whatever is inside the score at that
  • 00:10:28
    time
  • 00:10:29
    Plus
  • 00:10:32
    one
  • 00:10:34
    okay
  • 00:10:36
    and then we are going to draw on the
  • 00:10:38
    canvas so if I go to Canvas I can get
  • 00:10:41
    this draw
  • 00:10:43
    text procedure and here our text is
  • 00:10:47
    basically a join so go to text and get a
  • 00:10:50
    join
  • 00:10:52
    and
  • 00:10:53
    the first block in our join is just
  • 00:10:58
    score colon space
  • 00:11:01
    and then
  • 00:11:03
    I can duplicate the
  • 00:11:06
    getter for score here
  • 00:11:09
    and we want our score to be drawn
  • 00:11:12
    exactly in the middle of the canvas so
  • 00:11:15
    for that I am going to give it the
  • 00:11:17
    canvases width divided by 2 so I can
  • 00:11:22
    duplicate from here bring it down
  • 00:11:25
    duplicate again
  • 00:11:28
    and
  • 00:11:31
    make it
  • 00:11:32
    hide okay
  • 00:11:38
    now our reset ball procedure this one
  • 00:11:42
    which sets the speed to zero and give it
  • 00:11:45
    its starting position
  • 00:11:47
    we should call it when the screen is
  • 00:11:50
    initialized
  • 00:11:51
    so
  • 00:11:54
    call the procedure reset ball and what
  • 00:11:58
    about the situation in which the ball
  • 00:12:00
    hits the edges okay so if it hits the
  • 00:12:04
    top Edge or the bottom Edge we should
  • 00:12:06
    reset it then too and in case of right
  • 00:12:09
    or left Edge we are just going to make
  • 00:12:12
    it bounce okay so going back to blocks
  • 00:12:16
    so from ball get its Edge reached event
  • 00:12:20
    let me clean up the blocks
  • 00:12:23
    so this is The Edge reached event and we
  • 00:12:27
    are going to check for the edge so from
  • 00:12:30
    control get the if then else block and
  • 00:12:34
    from logic
  • 00:12:36
    get the or block plug it in the if
  • 00:12:40
    and again from logic get the equal to
  • 00:12:44
    block
  • 00:12:45
    and
  • 00:12:46
    if our Edge
  • 00:12:49
    is equal to 1
  • 00:12:54
    or
  • 00:12:55
    let's duplicate this one
  • 00:13:01
    is equal to minus 1
  • 00:13:03
    remember I duplicate by right clicking
  • 00:13:07
    on the Block Okay so
  • 00:13:10
    if it is top or bottom I am going to
  • 00:13:14
    call my procedure reset ball and in the
  • 00:13:20
    other situation that is right or left
  • 00:13:21
    Edge I'm just going to call
  • 00:13:25
    my ball to bounce and give it the edge
  • 00:13:30
    okay so the edge is here hover over it
  • 00:13:35
    Okay so
  • 00:13:37
    the ball should bounce now this is done
  • 00:13:40
    I hope you have fun making this simple
  • 00:13:42
    but cool game basketball game in MIT App
