Yeah, that's true. Impaling the ragdoll would be more than satisfactory, so impaling the wall as well would just be a bonus.

Impaling would be cool. I'll find a way to do it. It's all these little things that make it more or less impossible to rely on an existing engine like Box2D or APE. *sigh* Ah well, this stuff is fun anyway. It just takes a while. ;)

All right, Engine Prototype 02 is out. With a sword. Give it a try. :)



I've also posted it here, on the Dejeweled Development Blog.

Have fun.

this reminds me of a game. where this guy is ur friend but u can hurt him and place bombs everywhere and he goes flying around.

btw good idea

Um, I think its called... interactive buddy. Hope that helped. Well... answered your question, thing.:Bricked:

That prototype is fun. I like using the sword as leverage to jump way up high.

Cool. I just tried Dynamic Systems, which is another physics-based contraption game. Very puzzle-y and similar to Armadillo Run though, not much like Dejeweled at all.

It just occured to me that a game with this engine, which would have you fight off other ragdolls with either kicks or using your sword, would be epicly fun.

amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed. I'd like to make that game too. :)

That would be great, actually. You'd be able to set damage, injuries and collisions onto your engine in order to make the fighting game.

injuries would be like next gen flash ragdoll awesomeness, but it would be very advanced, just think, broken bones, organs, and other crap in your body in a flash game

Maybe, after the end of each level or whatever, you can have a screen where it shows how many broken bones, sprains, scrapes, ect.

What.

I've never played skate 2.

Thinking about how I might apply subtractive design to Dejeweled...

Any thoughts? It's easy to add features and game modes, but what could be removed from the concept?
