Adding Acrobats to the Rolling Ball
Begin by creating the rolling ball world as presented in Section 6-1. Add two objects/acrobats of your own choosing (we used the Pharaoh and Anabas from the Egypt folder). Position them on top of the ball (Sports), one on top of the other. In the world shown below, we resized the ball to twice its size. Write a program for a circus act, where the acrobats move with the ball, staying on top of it, as the ball rolls. The acrobats should put their arms up halfway, to help them balance as they move along with the rolling ball.
Hint:
Use the scene editor quad view to be certain the acrobats are standing directly on top of one another and are centered on the ball. Also, use pull-down menu methods to be sure that the acrobats and the ball all have the same orientation. (See Tips & Techniques 2 on how to use the orient to instruction to ensure that objects are synchronized for movement together.)
