hey guys



i dont exactly know yet what to do with this, but it is fun to play around with it. Do you know World of Goo? My balls (the ones in my game ) really remind me of gooballs (btw 2dBoy is the best!).
It's more a toy than a game.
But enjoy!

controls:
left mouse : create
right mouse : kill
middle mouse : try it!
use your arrowkeys too and turn the sound on!

Very cool! My only suggestion is that you add checks for multiple mouse presses, because if you hold down the middle mouse button it will continually make new balls even if the mouse is staying in the same place.

EDIT:

If you keep your mouse in the same spot and click repeatedly the balls don't move on the x-axis and just stack up higher and higher until they start freaking out:

thanks

@heyufool, strange that never happened to me how good is your computer? Did it start to go mad before?

@andrew, if you would stack perfectly round bowlingballs exactly on top of eachother, this would happen. But mine are sort of elastic balls and the engine finds no solution for this problem and therefore explodes.

Ya, I understood why it was happening, I just thought it was kind of cool nonetheless.

Still you couldn't realize it as long as there were influences like air, gravitation etc. And if the balls were "perfectly round" you wouldn't even be able to find the correct positioning for making them stay on each other. *cough* Well.. I better stop now.

It's of course a cool program. I had some fun with creating a "room" out of this static balls, trying to get the pseudo-goo-balls out of a whole in its top with the arrowkeys...
