iPod touch iPhysics!

0.6

0.6 is out, now when you open iPysics, you get the option to open 'Sandbox', which just lets you mess around with the shapes + accelerometer :)
 
i like 0.6, the "sand box" (i.e. 0.3 or lower) is pretty much all i used so far, i liked the levels, but once you've done the 5-6 levels a few different ways, there's not much more left. i like the use of shake to reset, and the accelerometer as gravity, but it's a bit slower than 0.3, so i'll stick with that for now.
what i would like to see is the ability to change the size of the balls when tapping, eg. the longer you tap, the bigger the ball.

great work though, i look forward to seeing more updates!
 
0.7

0.7 is out. Now you can make 'joints', there are a lot more level packs aswell :)
 
Custom Levels Galore!

Wow! Ppl are really embracing iPhysics!

In installer's "recent" section, there are about 5-10 cusom levels packages, some of them are quite clever and challenging...

...check it out! :)
 
I so wish I had Wi-Fi right now, just so I can play this game. It looks like so much fun! For the extra downloadable levels, do you use the same source to download iPhysics?
 
am I the only one that can't figure out what is going on with iphysics. Granted, I havent spent much time researching whats the point. Can anyone tell me what the purpose is? Yes, I realize its a proof of concept app, but beyond that how do I win?

lol, most of the iphone apps have no point. And what do you mean by "how do i win"?
 
There are a ton of downloadable levels. On the levels, you use whatever resources to make the blue ball hit the red square. There is also a free draw mode, which is fun for making ball machine contraptions. :)
 
0.8

Heh, thIs just keeps getting better. You can now draw wavy ( non- straight) lines. And you can have multiple targets ( the red sqares)

is the ball supposed to move? because it doesnt...

Whatch the videos to see how it's supposed to work. Draw an object above the ball, then that object will materialize and fall downward. If it hits the ball then the ball will move. It's like a game of billiards.
 
1.8.1

They've realeased 0.8.1, it's a small update but now you can shake to get back to the main menu. :)

Now there's no more restaring the app to play different level packs!

It's 0.8.1, not 1.8.1.

And I kinda liked the "shake to clear" function better. :( Surely there's an idea for another way to invoke the main menu?
 
sorry, my bad.
And when you shake it, you get the option to clear all shapes aswell :)
 
Can some1 please explain to me what steps exactly are needed to be taken in order to get the game on my ipod?

I've gone to http://iphone.r4m0n.net/repos on my ipod, but nothing happens. I refreshed the resources in Installer and nothing new gets added. ><
 
no, don't go to it in safari, type it in from installer: open installer > sources > edit > add
 
He also has a walkthrough on his site on how to make new levels, all you have to do is send them to him and he'll host them. Kinda cool, not that hard to make if you understand some basic programming.

r4m0n's response:

I could open the menu on a “gesture” (touching 2 spots on the screen) instead, and put an option to use the shake to menu or shake to reset… I’ll do that.

Woohoo!
