Cool physics demo program

[bernse]

Hope this isn't a repost - did a search but couldn't find anything.

Demo

I can't wait until these new games and cards come out that make this kind of stuff typical game play on a large scale.

EDIT - The Rocket demo download is the one I'm talking about.

 

[bernse]

Nobody tried it? It's defintely worth a download to play around with. Really neat. Seriously.
But then again, I am easily amused.

I downloaded here at work to play with it...

Wont load DX9... Laptop drivers arent up to date...

I'll play with it at home.

DLing now.

There was a little program a few years back that sort of simulated molecules. So you could create a simple 2d balloon and add air molecules to it. If you added too many it would burst. You could create a 'weak' box and drop a 'strong' box on it and cut apart the 'weak' box.
It was a neat program, especially as processors got faster and the simulator ran faster.

Is this the truss and strut bridge building program?

no there are tons of different physics demos ranging from stacks of objects to ragdolls to vehicles

there is a game called Bridge Builder, freeware, where you build a truss, with a limit on the amount of peices you can use and where you can attack to the world, and then try to drive a train across it

its fantastic

They followed it up in the last couple years with a sequel called Pontifex, which was 3D and stuff, with the addition of cables, etc.

Then they released a version of that to showcase nVidia cards,

Now I think there is a 3rd one out or something.

www.chroniclogic.com should get you there, but that addy might be out of date.

Anyone sucessfully run it yet other than me?

I thought some here would love it.

I have. Siege is fun to watch. Now if I could just get the Big Bang one to not implode on its own, so I can use the ball launcher ability to craft my own destruction.

Awesome program...

I must have spent like 40 minutes just playing with the Tall Jenga one making it fall differently...

I know, I'm amused easily... heh

A person could make a genuine "jenga" game with this, if you could just get a little better control out of it.
