Socoder -> Wednesday Workshop -> #111 - The Gravity Challenge

Wednesday Workshop #111 : The Gravity Challenge
Time until Deadline

Week : 1 August 2007
The Reason : I could've sworn I'd planned this one months ago!

The Challenge : Gravity can be fun, so make a game that makes full use of it.

Extra Info
If you need a good starting point, try playing around with Shroom_Monk's Orbital Physics code snippet.
Of course, your game needn't be like that. You could have a good old fashioned Moon-Lander gravity game!
Whatever you choose to make, add plenty of gravity! .. 'cos... you know.. that's this week's theme!

Weekly Rules/How to Enter
You have until Tuesday Night/Wednesday Morning 00:00 BST to submit your levels. ^ See Deadline Link! ^

Wed.Workshop is at SoCoder.co.nr. If you can read this, you're probably already there!

Stick your entry underneath this post, leaving a link to your zip or the source of your game, or whatever. (I really should get round to that Upload thing, shouldn't I!)

If you can't figure it out, or have a really rubbish server, send it to Jayenkai@Gmail.com and I'll stick it straight onto the SoCoder (Official Wed.Workshop) site.

Entries will be collected during the week, and then entered into the next week's voting. (If there are any entries..)

Please try to keep all entries within small file sizes. 2Mb is the average maximum for files.
Additional Rules are available at the SoCoder (Official Wed.Workshop) site, under the list of previous workshops.

Summer Holidays are here, so I've got time, plus it's my gravity engine as the picture! I'll probably enter.

Although the rules state that all coding must be done in the week, am I allowed to copy, paste, and tweak bits of my orbit program?

I'd like to enter Space Snake (for the third, or fourth, time). It has gravity in there from the Earth. Or as some people believe, Australia.

Tweaked from bits of the code in Shroom's snippet.
Not really much of a game, but still fun to watch.

Note : Disable "CanLock" at the top, if you're not getting the lines showing up..


Oh, and Shroom, this'll probably be slow on your system! Lots and lots of maths!

I should be entering this one, if work doesn't get in the way. I started on my entry yesterday.

Gah! I really must finish my entry. Bearing in mind I started again this morning, I don't know if I will...

Jay, you said at the top you thought we'd done this before. Perhaps you're thinking of the Physics Challenge or the Zero G Challenge?

Yeah, but I'm sure ages ago I'd said we'd do something to do with your gravity thing.. I must've just never got round to it.

sadly not going to be able to enter this one, i worked with 4 different ideas and didnt like any of them enough to finish until the 4th and thought it had such potential i would just make it in to a bigger game than just a WW entry.(plus it would take a hell of alot longer to make than the time i had.)

Stuff... Yeah...

Sitting here re-watching series 3 of Dr Who... It suddenly struck me that today's a WW night!

1 hour left to finish off any entries.. If not, never mind.. There's always next week!

Due to what can only be put down to utter laziness on my part, I was unable to finish my entry for this week! But, I will try and finish it, and post it as a showcase.
