Toy Per Day

#27 – Physics 1

OMG update! Just a little something, more to come, though I can’t promise daily due to my job. Click & hold to create ball, dragging while you are holding down the mouse will give it some velocity.

Hiatus

Unfortunately, I need to declare a temporary hiatus for this project; starting an essentially full-time job and my physics final exam in one week is too much on top of this project. I intend to pick it up in the near future; likely next week.

#26 – Ribbons

#25 – Conway

A little late this week; my apologies, and I’ll try to make ‘em up. Next week will be hectic, but I’m going to continue to try to make time for this important (in my opinion) project. Today’s toy is a basic version of Conway’s Game of Life, for more information (and some interesting patterns to try), check out the wikipedia entry.

Update: Bug fixed…

Update 2: Temporarily unavailable

#24 – Meta Plus

Zev — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 01:25:32 +0000

Big update, added animated menu/playing field, more customization, preloader, etc. Lots of good stuff.

#23 – Metadiamonds

#22 – Metaballs 3

Zev — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 02:30:21 +0000

General improvements, plus some obvious ones: now click to add and remove metaballs (much better), and they’re much more visible because of some background changes I’ve made. Should be a little faster too, due to ongoing grid rendering improvements.

#21 – Metaballs 2

Zev — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 15:34:36 +0000

A bunch of optimizations, most notably using a grid rendering system, much faster now.

#20 – Metaballs

Zev — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 03:32:09 +0000

Basic, slow, 2-dimensional metaballs. See this link for more info.

#19 – Bomber

Finally, a more significant (if slightly late update). I think this dynamic works much better than the old one; I think the “shockwave” weapon forces players to be very close to exploding enemies, making them a little too hard to avoid. This new version is a lot more balanced, I think, and more fun to play (the difficulty curve isn’t quite as absurd either). In addition to adding the new weapon, I also did a wide variety of general speed and coding style improvements.
