Alice Community - View Single Post - How do I make Collision Detection for slopes in Alice?

I don't see how one would be able to find the slope at a particular point in a object in Alice. I'm assuming you want the skateboard to move up AND tilt in the appropriate direction right? If I have time, I'll see if I can do something with a "pool" shape which is what I think is what you are trying to go after. However, if I do it, the cross-sections are going to be circle, not ellipses. The only reason this is going to take a while if I do it, is because I would need to use Calculus to find the corresponding slope of the curved surface.
