Hi all,

Anyone have any recommendation on how to construct a basketball hoop and pole using RUBE? I need recommendation constructing both the hoop rim/net and pole.

Thanks in advance for any advices!

Edited - Sorry maybe this should be in C++ section.

What part are you getting stuck on? The hoop could be just two circles, and the backboard is a simple rectangle....

The net is a bit more complex, but you could make it from some circle bodies connected to their neighbors with rope joints (and each also connected to the hoop with a rope joint too). They could then be connected to the net pieces on the other side of the hoop with more rope joints ( it is rope after all :) ) To make the sides of the net pull toward each other you could use some soft distance joints.
