| The Extreme Tests have given me a good insight into the do/dont's of Newton So the Target for the Next Test is to set up a very basic level it will be a collection of platforms with emptyspace the target is to make a chain from the Hammer all the Way to the Button Alongside my testing ive been working on two placement gizmo's 1. Single Click to place use buttons to move/rotate 2. Line Click two Points creates a line of dom's from point 1 to 2 and facing point 2 What is the Hammer ? This currently is a level Object with the press of space bar an UpVector on a Pivoting Hammer is Destroyed causing the hammer to fall ie starting a Domino chain Window 7 Home Premium Q6600 4*3.199Ghz Single Nvidia G260 768mb DDR3 (Soon to be two :) ) 780i XFX mobo 21 Viewsonic 16/10 4gb Ram 1.5tb harddrive My Game Space Home Page |

| Ive Created a Mesh_Manager to control loading and creation of needed Geometry Also the first template for StaticMeshes is in place The engine looks for the Model using Mesh_Manager and Creates a new instance ready for adding physics Window 7 Home Premium Q6600 4*3.199Ghz Single Nvidia G260 768mb DDR3 (Soon to be two :) ) 780i XFX mobo 21 Viewsonic 16/10 4gb Ram 1.5tb harddrive My Game Space Home Page |

| The First Design will be a Graphical Simulation Then progressing to add a placement Gui working toward a playable demo with achievements and targets A five Level 5 demo and 5 part introduction should be enough Window 7 Home Premium Q6600 4*3.199Ghz Single Nvidia G260 768mb DDR3 (Soon to be two :) ) 780i XFX mobo 21 Viewsonic 16/10 4gb Ram 1.5tb harddrive My Game Space Home Page |
