Soooo.....'Interactive Physics' is the name of a software, then, and not the title of the show, or the signature of his work?
(Monty Python and the Holy Grail)
(Monty Python: The Life of Brian)
(Monty Python's Flying Circus)
All made by the same people - their Brand, if you will.
Sometimes filmed on 35mm, sometimes on 16.
(National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation)
(National Lampoon's Family Vacation)
(National Lampoon's European Vacation)
Same deal, but not really.

A wise man once said: "It never hurts to ask a question....unless around Brick, who will stab you in the face with a plastic spork."
Some people just can't let go and start over...

I think I'll get me some of that 'Interactive Physics', though.
Without actually ever hearing of it, before, I wonder if it's easy to use.

You pretty can pretty much just draw polygons and decide which ones you want to be anchored (or grounded) to the background and then choose which ones you want to be free masses. Once you get to play with it, though, you learn about motors, pulleys, ropes and springs, accuators, and all sorts of other good stuff that can only be lernt with goofing around.
What sucks, however, is that you can't save your little Interactive Physics "course". So I just take a Hypercam movie of it before I exit.

Hmm, thanks for the info, Stunts.
I haven't actually taken the time to look into the program, yet.
That sucks if you can't save, though.
It seems like it'd be a waste of effort, like if you couldn't save Word or spreadsheets.
I might still look into it.

Ha! Phil.
"Tooth and Tiger! Were did you learn that?"
"From Master Cheung."
"Master Cheung from the Emperial Palace?!"
"No, Freddie Cheung, down on Crenshaw."
"Ohh. They're brothers."

;D ;D Wasn't "Socrates Johnson" from BILL AND TED movies?
They didn't get that it was Socrates (Soc- rah-tee-s) the best they could do was So-crate's
And so make the fact that they had all these figures from history not obvious to the Step Mother they had Socrates Johnson, Herman the kid, Dave Betovan Bob Ghangus Kahn, and Missy of Arc.

Numbah siksYEAH sporks for the win. Nobody seems to use google any more. For example, when I'd seen one of those videos, I searched for "Interactive Physics" and a minute or two later was playing with it.

Nice, Brick.
Unfortunately, no. I don't look up every single person's title information.
Have you looked up 'Mahnster Movies', yet? It might be a program, or some sort of gardening utensil...
It would be about the same thing if you'd never heard of it, before.
"Hey! Have you played the 'Commodor 64' game?!".....without using google, would you know whether it was a game? or a system?
"Highschool Antics: Version 1"
[using the newest software of 'Highschool Antics: v1 you can do stuff'......]
"Lycoming: Opposition at it's best."
[Posted by L-coming]
Is my point clear, yet?
If you don't know that a product is a product, you won't think to look for it on Google, or in the local Walmart. You'll think it's the person's title for a project.
Why am I going to look up "Thud" on google?

lololo but I no a lot about video gaemz gv me a harder question plz LOL. Ok,,,thinking. Without Google you see this title on Youtube..... "Jack Russell: Fighting in the yard." Added yesterday. 12 views. 3 Comments. You see a guy and his dog wrestling in the yard. Who's who? *** HA! Phil. Did you ever have one? Remember the long load times, and having to enter a code that was printed on the Floppy disc, just to play 'Pole Position'?! My favorite was 'Amnesia' (text based game) "You wake up in a dark hotel room. You have no idea where you are or who you are. What do you do? Type "Turn on light." "You are naked! There are no clothes. What do you do?" "Wear bed sheet." "Sporting your toga, you check out the room. What do you find?" "A dead hooker." "I don't understand. Please retype. What do you find?" "My wallet." "Your wallet is empty." "Damn!" "I don't understand. Please retype. What do you find?" "I hate you." "Yes, everyone does. What do you find." "Exit." "A large man enters the room with a knife. He stabs you." [exiting program...] |

I used to spend hours playing "Mail Man" on an Apple back in the day.
They basically laid out a "Route" and you had to use your arrow keys to make the 'mail man' (a dot) move around the 'neighborhood' without retracing is steps.
Basically, that old 'draw a square with an 'x' through it in one line without retraceing and old line.
My first 'Hi-Tech' (early 90's lingo) vid was 'War' with tanks that had something like 2 polygons and a green outlined battlefield.
You shot green blocks at each other over a LAN that was slower than mud.
All in 'Almost 3-D!"

Hmm, One white girl, surrounded by all other ethnicities?
Sounds like the new Mariah Carey.
I was a MC nut back in the day.
Is she still doing stuff?
[yes, I know MC is half and half]
