Is it possible for this engine to create something like NBA Jam for Amiga?
Here is how the game look:

Now, of course I don't expect it to look like the arcade above 
But more like this:

It's 2vs2 basket.
I guess it's rather easy make players run around, but what about the ball? Can we create and arc motion of it when you are shooting from the distance?
For slaming, ball could be simply part of the character.
I am not expecting any kind of physics here, just arc motion between character and basket. Do you think it's possible? |
I think, from a technical point of view, yes. Scorpion's codeblocks are turing complete so it's at least theoretically possible to do things like that.
But I don't think Scorpion would be the best fit for it. Scorpion is primarily an engine designed for 2D games, NBA Jam is a 2.5D game in that ball movement is on all three axis. So at the very least things like getting the sprites in the right order may be a pain.
