ArcadeEngine is completely written in Transcript, so if you roll your 
own scripts the answer is yes, it is possible. The built in move 
command and collision tests are a bit limited though, so it takes  bit 
of experience with Transcript and it´s characteristics, a certain 
familiarity with collision detection algorithms and a bit (actually 
quite a bit) math to roll your own handlers and functions for 
movement/collision detection with satisfactory results. I recommend you 
look at all of Scott Rossis stacks for some inspiration on how to 
create nice animations, at Jim Hurleys 9ball stack for inspiration on 
collision detection and if 3rd party products are an option, download 
the ArcadeEngine trial and play with it for a while.

All the best,

Malte
