Here's a project I was working on for a while. It's a physics puzzle game and simulator. It's a lot like Fantastic Contraption, which I discovered after having made this. The original inspiration was to make something like Microsoft Physics Illustrator but with game components. I think I accomplished that pretty well.

The goal is simple: build a machine that will touch the green zone (or launch something into the green zone) while avoiding the red zones. You can make:
- Polygons (max 8 vertices; points must be specified in counter-clock-wise order; must be convex; right click to finish creation)
Circles
Joints/Motors
Springs
You can also set the following properties of shapes:
- Density - How heavy it is
Friction - How frictiony the surface is
Restitution - How bouncy it is
Static - Makes shapes stay in place
There's an installer. It's experimental so comment if it doesn't work. (It installs to whatever directory you run it in.)
Here are some screenshots of what it looks like:
FAQ:
1. Can I see the source code? Source code provided on request.
2. How do I do levels 5 and 6? I don't know. Danny sucks at level design.
3. I created a custom world called "foobar". Can I share it here? Sure. Save it and then copy/paste the stuff in Worlds/Custom/foobar.txt.
4. How does it work? See 1.
5. The installer doesn't work. Help? Here you go.
