Fizziks Tilt - A Physics Game

Thursday, February 7, 2008

Good morning, everyone! Normally I don't post information about games on the Puzzler sites until they are completely finished, but I'm making an exception here.

I've just added a game called Fizziks Tilt to The Problem Site. It is a game in which you use your keyboard to navigate a marble through mazes. But the press of a an arrow key does not move the marble in that direction; it applies a force in that direction. The result is a game which functions more like "the real world".

In addition, there are some interesting things to deal with in some of the levels, like planets, which create a gravitational force, or clouds, which produce a one-directional force, and there are also "Tilt" triggers, which - if you hit them - cause the entire maze to tilt, so one direction becomes downhill.

All these forces: planets, winds, tilts (and even friction!) are properly calculated using the appropriate equations, to provide a true "Fizziks" experience.

The game is not completely finished, but I have some other things I need to work on for awhile, so I thought I'd post what I have done for you to enjoy!
