Go Stand By the Stairs, So I Can Protect You

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the phun-with-physics dept.

ewhac writes "It seems a programmer named Jetro Lauha, for his submission to the Assembly 2002 competition, decided to explore the realm of solid body physics simulations. So he wrote Porrasturvat -- 'Stair Dismount'. The game involves the application of force vectors to solid bodies connected by links with constrained range of motion, and observing their impact forces against other objects in the environment. ...Or, more colloquially, you push a guy down the stairs and see how much damage he takes. Apparently, any similarity between this game and the Terrible Secret of Space is entirely coincidental."

    hmm, I guess the anon thing doesn't work anymore. oh well. I'll have to use a second account now. For some reason I get moderator point on a near weekly basis. Kind of annoying actually because it limits my posting, but yet I can't bring myself to uncheck "willing to moderate". :P
