It's not a game it's just demonstrating how gravity can be implemented into a game.

Ya, i see your point. You know the old Space Cadet Pinball for winodws xp and below? There was a gravity orb like one in this test, so I believe this could be a good start to zune pinball hehe. Thats actually a great suggestion by the way...

[sk8er209]

so it's not a game too bad. umm... i never played Interactive Buddy is it fun

[Peace Keeper]

I love Gravity!! I just make the ball move a little then let it do it's own thing until I get bored of not doing a thing but watching it go.

[dabeastofdamusic]

if only it was a little bit more original

[Tiptup300]

When I run it, the ball just gets stuck every time on the circle....

[pj9000]

hahaahaha... interactive buddy

[FauxCivility]

Add another vote for a screencap ;D

[simonsandh]

I put it on my zune
but i have no idea what im supposed to do with it
lol (sometimes i go a bit crazy because i put like 30 games on it and i only play tetris)

Spazzing out like a 9 y/o.

IMO interactive buddy wouldn't be fun on the zune because of lack of a mouse.

I got so confuesed on this game...is there supposed to be a point or....WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!!! This was made to torture people....curse you game developer

[LedZepp]

Maybe you guys should read the Instuctions? Those usually tell you what to do

[FauxCivility]

It says that it is a TECH DEMO.

Read the frick'n DESCRIPTION.

[Dramamine]

I could see this somehow being implemented to create something like this.

Except you don't make the balls/planets and you just try to throw it around them as in the game itself.

Obviously using the touchpad to control the aim and strength. P:

[sir justin]

yeah the directions to me seemed different, lol...tech demo..got it

[bobenny]

thx ill check it out

[Dogfaceoen1]

Sounds like a cool concept would be glad to help with programing for future development

[Machaira]

Interesting. I can see where this could be used in a bunch of games.

[BaboonOfTheYard]

Wow, amazing job! Very realistic physics, nice controls, everything. +rep, definitely.

Now I limit the effects of that by limiting the velocity of the ball; right now it can't exceed 2 pixels per frame. What it really comes down to is tweaking the masses, velocity limits, etc for a "fun" gravity. If you would like to take a look inside the source code and try to find a sweet spot, please do! In the mean time I'll be doing the same.

The some constant your referring to is 6.67 times 10^-11

Just in case you add support for this.
