That'll be one soul, please.

(Version 0.32.9 is up on Humble, use a lower-case 't' to write time into the force law)

How does swinging work? Like - pumping your legs... how does that get you swinging higher and higher? ... It's simple enough to actually go to a playground and swing - but when you start going into conservation of energy/momentum/angular momentum, this topic can get a bit (a lot) confusing. For inst...

Update - new and improved, and posted in its new home:

https://testtubegames.com/blackhole.html

Made an update to the sim -

now with:
-gravitational forces!
-fly around
-fire various types of objects
-lasers!

The wording on the level is a bit ambiguous -- what you're trying to do is get the color of all the keys to match each other. So you'll want to blue-shift the redder key, and red-shift the bluer key.

You don't need to bump into the gate, it'll open up whenever the keys match.

The distortion of space (and especially time) around black holes is fascinating to me - so I made an experimental little sim, to see if I could recreate that. https://testtubegames.com/ShareBox/blackhole/ Move around, explore the space, and add (or shoot, if you're moving) Beacons to see how clocks ...

I have no problem of you posting about how the dna works -- In fact, there was this comment posted on the sim's page that makes a pretty exhaustive attempt to decode the code. If you wanna know how it works... Stuart Lyall posted this - I haven't checked it, but a quick skim of it looks about right ...

(cribbed from my earlier post here: http://testtubegames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=535#p3579) Here are some (all?) of the shortcuts: -WASD or Arrows to move around -'+' and '-' to zoom in and out -Hold F to auto-fire an object -Hold C while aiming an object to put it in a circular orbit around ...

Let's see if I can help out here... Starting with the (easier) second question - you set the name by adding an "n:" argument to the settings, like such: _settings(gravity: r^(-2), x: 37.07583, y: -15.83333, n:The Astroman System); For your first problem, I'm wondering if the simulation might be paus...

Good questions - Sean - the bullets were far and away the most difficult addition to the game. What, physically, *should* happen is so counter-intuitive that I had a hard time making sure the right thing *was* happening. For your specific questions, it looks like it boils down to Time. A couple leve...
