here is the start of my make it your self Rube goldberg thingy, it needs some work, like being able to change the size of objects and how thay work in the chaine.



I plan to make it like a domino chaine, I hope I can get it done.

I`ve had to put my fps controls on hold to do this Rube goldberg, but my fps control is coming soon.

make it your self Rube goldberg ray casting, its not the same as whats above be cos I havent intgrated them together yet.

here is a link to my ray cast with mouse cursor control.
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=136675&b=30

I`v done it like this be cos of an nvidia comp entery for 2008 by dark code, who help me to come up with this mouse control.

all hail Dark Coder.

here is an image of what my Rube goldberg maker looks like, I`m posting this be-cos I havent fished it yet.

I`v just go to the point where you can edit object size, position, & rotation, I guess I`ll have to post it with out this function working which is a shame, be-cos it limits how this Rube goldberg maker works.

all object are made with there physic working, and to edit the object scale, position, and rotation.

the physic are deleted on the selected object so that editing can take place, as soon as editing is done the physic will kick in again.

I used raycasting and an object picker to position the physic object maker at the same loction as the mouse cursor, which meens you can move the camera around, and the ray object stays with the mouse cursor.

I got the idea from the (nvidia comp 2008 entery from DarkCoder), he used simula metherd of raycast, for his entery.

so to darkcoder I say thanks, and to any one else who help with ideas thanks to.



I will post my code as soon as I`m done, I know I`ll miss the dead line but it will be much more worth it in the long run and I can make it look a bit more pretty.

thanks again ever one who helped.

ok here it is my (RUBE GOLDBERG MAKER V 1.0) this is a cool peace of code, even if its not well coded and its a bit of a mess lol.

hope ever one likes it, the object editers not quite what I wonted it to be, but here it is I`ll post updates of this code as well as giving it a post of its hone.

I havent added cloth or joints to the object libery yet, but I will in latter versions of this.

if any one has any ideas then post a way, I may add them.

by the way the gun was just a extera, I don`t expect you peps to use it wile you are making rube goldberg maps.

pause physics
rotate objects
scale objects
position objects
make object
delete object
mouse cursor to raycaster interface
swichable objects
height meeter
objects name / ID can be used as a loading string if needed
etc

@ bergice
this comps over and I`m the only one who posted again, so I guess its my turn to make a chanllenge.

@ any one
should I post a new challenge or should I give up the ghost?


If there is any one who wonts to come up with a new challenge then feel free to post one.

I would like to see some of the more hardened coder to come up with some thing for this challenge.

thanks to every one who helped out with ideas on the Rube goldberg challenge.

I got a challenge that might get a few joining in, all you have to do is make a spinning top.

1. it must spin.
2. a way to lauch it.
3. can be more that one top.



so what do you think.

Ok I like the sound of that, how long do you wont the challenge to run for?

HowDo most challenges have gone for a month so let me know how long you wont it to run for as soon as pos

thanks for your contribution HowDo and I hope you will also add a littal something in the way of an entery to this challenge.

Sorry for not being here, but i am really busy for the time doing stuff.

I am actually working on a rube goldberg creator now.

Made a video on youtube but its uploading, its really low quality video but it should be ok i guess


[EDIT]

Omg, quality is worse than i thought.

low quality thats an under statement lol.

how long have you bin working on it?

could you show some screen shots or add a higher res video to the post

I`ve stop work on my rube goldberg maker at the mo so I can do this challenge with HowDo, but my rube goldberg maker is going to have a compleate overhaul, so it may not work or look the same when I`m done.

I will add screen pics of it when I`m done, bergice what did you use to record your video? and dose it do a higher res?

HowDo I just looked at your code and I like the model you made for your spining top I like how it work to, I didn`t think of using phy add rigid body force, I may have to test this out latter.

Quote: "but getting it to spin is driving nuts"


I had the same problem at 1st but I`ve got my head around it now.

I used linear velocity and angular momentum to control my spining and moving, and I`m still trying to get the collision sistem to work on more then one object, thats whats driving me round the bend.

I don`t like physic collisions I loath them.

Edit

got the collision system to work on 1000 object you`ll see how I did this by looking at the code



Edit

I still think this needs more work, so I`m going to plod on.

HowDo try using


insted of


it works a lot better for physic sim, i.e when two object hit each other, and for the physic collision system, the convex way takes less time to load so you can get on with it in the midal of your program loop, and there is no slow down and the fps stay high.

Edit

ok I`ve fixed one or two of the bugs in my SP project


let me know if you find any more bug`s or error`s.

I used the mesh as this the only one that does not put a square box around the object for physx to work with, tryed convex but it would not fall over.

Yours is looking good, like how you've got them spinning and how they wobble the correct way. the collision system looks like it getting there, if you found that bit in chm file it will tell you to use the while system to check every thing a a for next loop will take a long time to get to it.

Doing this one way of working what commands can do what yeh!

Who knows with a bit more coding you could have the spining top battle game that was made in 60s or 70s.

I was thinking about make a battle game with it, as for the collision systam I used if/endif be cos I was testing the water so to speek, I will chang it back to while/endwhile at a later date.

ok so your using mesh`s, but you could use

with a convix and I think your object would fall over, but I could be wrong.

Edit

@HowDo
just tested your spining top model in my sp project and it will fall over with a convix just as long as you use the offset local code

Well Beta 8 killed the mesh system , so had to find some other way so capsule comes to play, after it been spun it will fall over!.



press return to make many tops and space to spin them.

we are having a barbacque a big bombfire and fireworks on the 5th, which is cool, and on the 6th I'll guess I'll be working on vertuial firework show, wahahahahaha.

HowDo I think we should call it 50 points each for the spining top project, and you should get 15 points extra for being the 1st to go three pages on the physic & AI challenge.

what do you say mate?
