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."

  4. WHY I DONT LIKE LIVING IN USA! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    american people respect no human rights. I am muslim and every day I'm told to leave the country. I say publicly that I loathe mr. Bush because he is a warmonger and a terrorist against poor countries... it is my human right to have my own opinnion, but americans are trying to take my human rights away from me. if i say the USA flag don't mean anything to me and I don't celebrate 4th of July people often try to put me down. that is yet another violation against my human rights...

    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
