I've got most of the logic worked out, actually all of it.. minus bubble collisions. You can see the illustrated problem, here: [media]

Ideally, it should stick to the bubble, probably taking the angle into account. I can see my approach is all wrong as it fails in many interesting ways. (Use BoudingSpheres instead of Rectangles is probably a good start)
The game in question be cloned can be found here: http://www.ventoline.com/frozenbubble/
I've got the following code started:
[source lang="jscript"]//Counstruct our bounding rectangle for use
var nX = currentBall.x + ballvX * gameTime;
var nY = currentBall.y - ballvY * gameTime;
var movingRect = new BoundingRectangle(nX, nY, 32, 32);
var able = false;
//Iterate over the cells and draw our bubbles
for (var x = 0; x < 8; x++) {
for (var y = 0; y < 12; y++) {
//Get the bubble at this layout
var bubble = bubbleLayout[x][y];
var rowHeight = 27;
//If this slot isn't empty, draw
if (bubble != null) {
var bx = 0, by = 0;
if (y % 2 == 0) {
bx = x * 32 + 270;
by = y * 32 + 45;
} else {
bx = x * 32 + 270 + 16;
by = y * 32 + 45;
}
//Check
var targetBox = new BoundingRectangle(bx, by, 32, 32);
if (targetBox.intersects(movingRect)) {
able = true;
}
}
}
}
cellY = Math.round((currentBall.y - 45) / 32);
if (cellY % 2 == 0)
cellX = Math.round((currentBall.x - 270) / 32);
else
cellX = Math.round((currentBall.x - 270 - 16) / 32);
//Check the bubble layout
if (cellY == 0 || able) {
//TODO: Finish game losing conditions
if (cellY == 9) {
winGame();
// cellY++;
}
//Safety check
//if(cellX == rCellX && cellY == rCellY && cellY > 0)
// return;
//Assign the grid
bubbleLayout[cellX][cellY] = currentBall;
ballvX = 0;
ballvY = 0;[/source]
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
