Working Calculator Created in LittleBigPlanet

Posted by Soulskill on from the impressive dept.

jamie pointed out a really impressive creation from the LittleBigPlanet beta. The game allows the creation of puzzles from a collection of simple objects and tools. A player called upsilandre used 610 magnetic switches, 500 wires, 430 pistons, and a variety of other objects to create a functioning calculator that will do decimal/binary conversions as well as addition and subtraction. The creation does well to illustrate the potential for amazing creativity in level design. Another user recently designed a level to play the Final Fantasy X theme song. LittleBigPlanet is almost finished and set to be released later this month, though the controls may be refined in a future patch. We recently discussed a student level-design event at the Parsons New School for Design and Technology.

      Aww I'm sorry. Are you jealous that your so called 'revolutionary' console game concepts are years behind PC gaming. As per usual.

    So if you have a general-purpose programming language, you can make complicated things? Well, I sure am amazed!
