There is a video game due out in May whose protagonist uses a sling. Here is a gameplay demo from 2018:

the best slinging movement I ve ever seen in a game . 8-)
I 've always wondered how a too realistic aiming system in a game for slings would look like, probably not gamer friendly :P |

Certainly if you want to be using a sling for stealth.
"I think there's an enemy in the bushes over there" "How do you know?" "I felt a breeze go past my ear." |

Now, If Sarosh/Acro was handling that sling with the four-flop stones...
"VVVVRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMM!" "BZZZZZZUUUUUUUUMMMMMM!" Guard 1: "Did you just hear that!?" Guard 2: "What the hell was that!" :P |

I posted about this a year ago. The producers of the game are located in France. I actually sold a sling to them to use as a model for their version of E3, was at their booth when they showcased the game. It was supposed to be at E3 last year as well. I am supposed to get a digital copy of the game, but since i am off grid now, no way to play it if I ever get a copy. .
I sent them a rock man and a seat belt sling |

sling aiming system would probably work like typical golf swing controls.
but with a smaller sweet spot and faster moving pointer. So you'd need to hit the buttong faster and with more accuracy. So typically you have a pointer or bar going round a dial, you hit the button once to determine power, and a second time for accuracy. Unless you have a contrroller system like the wii, when you just swing like you're holding a golf club. I like computer golf games :-) The same system would work well for slings. Shame the wii is old now, but you could do the same with the switch controllers I reckon. |

I hadn't thought about golf game controls that would work really well.

It's a PC game and supposed to be on all next gen consoles.

Finally a game that treats the sling like the deadly weapon it is! Most people in modern times don’t realize that you are so likely to be instantly eaten by a horde of rats if you get hit by a rock from a sling like that ;D |

Oh, didn't notice the rats ;D |

Yeah nice application of the sling in this game! And incredible accuracy !
Only thing I wonder how she does not kill the kid pn her right side with this slinging technique and the kid being quite close to her... |

Oh, that’s easy. Just disable sprite interference :) |
