A new technique is added to the new engineering tool that I develop, which ensures mixture of pinned and rigid bar elements can be solved without error. This is more important than it sounds, because it can already mix 1D and 2D elements' equations as well. 😎
Quite a few animations are added, and now game mechanics completed! Explosions, laser damaging, collecting minerals, etc... Now it's time for UI building. It's already fun to play =)
Development of the new engineering tool is in progress. Here is a view showing deformation plots of a truss structure which is under two different loading conditions. These are results from the solver of system of linear equations 😎
Powerups are also added to Brick Miner: randomizer, damager and explosives! Last step to complete the game mechanics is to add animations ;)
This alpha gameplay from my second game project has colored bricks, earthy areas, and precious minerals and gems! They are to be extracted from the mine and, ok, rest is for the subsequent posts ;)
