Falling Balls - game complete with source code

[zehlein]

This is what I did for the little contest in december last year. I decided to give it for free use to the PPL community. I think it could be interesting for everyone new to PPL and its GameAPI. The code uses the Physics engine, Particle engine, Sprites and Sound and other stuff.
Please keep in mind that I am not a profi programer. Lots of things can certainly be done better. But as a start up the program might be useful.
If you change the program, simply post the result here. We all want to learn what can be done by using PPL! ;-)

Hi "Jens" ?
I started it and obtained this message (before sleeping!) :)

So, good night!

I should not have left the *.prj file in the archiv. Simply load Falling Balls.ppl and run it. It should work.

I am a newbie using this as a turorial on game development. I can't get this program to run - I receive the following message:
///////////////////////
App: FALLING BALLS.PPL
File:Falling Balls.ppl
Opcode: OPENPACKAGE
Char/Line/Offset: 14, 502, 0x0117cecc

(WINMAIN)
Access violation at 0x409a3a
//////////////////////////
I am running Win XP SP2. I checked the documentation for the OPENPACKAGE function and it looks ok - I assume the password is ok - Any idea what my problem is?

Thanks

See attached a new zip file containing all the necessary files, I checked it, everything works fine with me here. Let me know if it does so for you. There have been a few changes in the PPL language since I made the game, I adjusted the source code but never posted it. Hope now it works!

Thanks zehlein!* I just tried it and it works great for me (Windows 2000 Professional).
