Managed to get the basics of a marble rolling game done, yesterday.

-=-=-

This one's been stuck in my head since doing the Marble Drop (Marblinko Machine) game, oh so long ago..

..

Oh, it was only last Thursday. ..



Anyhoo, the idea of a rolling ball in a standard maze seemed a little bit too Monkey Ball, so instead I've made it a simpler run. Start at one end, reach the goal, earn points based on how long it took.
Highscore = faster time, and you get points deducted each time you pat against the side of the run.
It's a fairly simple game, but it seems to play well enough.

I did originally plan on having other balls racing against you, with collisions and whatnot, too, but GotoJSE couldn't quite handle trying to keep them all on the track at the same time as doing all the collisions, and that was before I added in any AI for the other racers.
Nah..

Today, then, I need to look into adding a few obstacles into the middle of the run. I'm not 100% sure on how well that'll work. Whether it'll break the feel of the game, or if it'll just carry on playing like it currently does.

Maybe this is one of those "Make a backup before breaking it" points that I never seem to do.

...
OK, done!
Now I have two versions, and if the new stuff doesn't work, I can simply revert to the old one.
Gosh, look at me, being all organised and stuff.
