Sample video

Here it is the first Inventor sample video. It shows main menu navigation, in-game tool bar, basic usage and the resolution of a pulley system challenge of medium complexity.

Inventor is designed for touch screen devices (currently implemented and tested under Android and Bada systems). Touch screen effect is shown in the sample video with white rings over the pulsation position that do not appear in real game.

Some actions shown in the video:

• Opening and closing tool bars.
• Long pulsation over scene or tool bar elements, show their physical properties.
• Double tap while in challenge mode, stops/starts simulation.
• Drag and drop from tool bar to scene.
• String/rope arranging.
• Slow motion and challenge tips.

In the following posts, some features of this unique (as long as I know) physics engine will be revealed.

Presentation

Inventor is a brain game / educational application that implements an extensible real-time physics simulation engine. Unlike other physical engines, it's designed to support, not only rigid objects, but elastic interactions, strings, springs, gears, fluids, ...

Unique simulations inside inventor are physically correct in the sense that complex pulley systems, gear chains and the rest of elements, behave exactly like in real life. For instance, measuring string tension, in stationary state of a complex pulley system, will give you the theoretical value.

I'll try to add some sample videos soon!
