[New game - demo] Phyics Demo

itsthatsguy · 11-27-2008, 11:03 PM

hi everyone i have recently stopped making games and other things (no ideas!!!) so i thought of his after seeing a video of MIT's version, i am going to make a device that when you draw certain shapes and symbols it will select certain movements. i think the zune can run a basic version of this. it would be fun to create as a side project, but it can have a big potential such as a level creator in a game or just something to mess around with something. I remember a game where you make a track that a ball rolls down to get to a flag, this could be like a level creation tool for that. Anyway this is going to be a BiG project if it does go somewhere like a game i would need help for graphics and other such things as of the beta i ant to keep it as a physics demo. so if you want to help out post here or PM me for your name in the credits, the code i have so far and anything else that is needed. I am in no way begging for this but if you would like to donate for the project PM me or i will post a donate link later.

+ YouTube Video

PLEAsE Do NOT FLAME THIS IDEA! if you think its not possible please say so kindly and in an informing manner i'm tired of people being ***holes on forums for ideas!

Looks really cool. Sorry but I have 0 programming skill so I can't help. Looks something like Magic Pen, or Fantastic contraption. If this will work, how hard would it be to do fantastic contraption. Link right here.

I like it but I think if someone made my request then yours would be easier (nudge)

I like the idea... And I'm glad it's being worked on. However I think the controls for this might be kinda hard/difficult to use.
The program would have to interpret your drawings so if you drew something that looked remotely like a circle it would draw a sprite of a circle. But in order to do that the drawing has to look/be something like a circle. Rather difficult without the pen/whiteboard in the video.
Go try drawing something that looks like circle in PaintZ (Without using the circle tool), And see what you come up with. If you're like me you get an odd polygon shape whose lines cross over. To have to the Zune interpret something like that as a circle would be almost impossible (At least to interpret correctly every time). My suggestion would be to use something like the circle tool in PaintZ. There are probably other shape tools that would be needed, other than a circle.

If anyone else has an idea I would be interested in hearing it though.
Oh, and good luck with this project.

It would be fun if it worked!
