Description
WIP - 0.9.3Oh look ^ Fancy version number
FAQ:
Q: This doesn't work!
A: Click it to focus on the flash
Q: This still doesn't work!
A: Check the 'Mode: ' from the side, it probably says interact, you can not draw while in that mode, press M.
Q: Why did you add modes, they're so complicated <.A: To fix some bugs, in the oldmode sometimes a rectangle spawns while dragging, and pressing keys to draw something or drag sounds like effort.
Q: Can I see the code?
A: No. But feel free to ask about anything if you'd like and I'll see how much I can help.
Q: Why is everything keyboard controlled and not, for example, visual?
A: Try drawing a box/circle on top of a textfield on the right. Same happens with buttons. But maybe I could add a visualmode where you could change the variables only, we'll see.
Q: Can I suggest more stuff to add there?
A: Please do so, running out of ideas myself.
Q: Why is the Artist's Comments so %#"$& long?
A: I want new people who see this be able to check the progress and read a bit more specific instructions.
Q: OMG THIS R SUPAR KWL?
A: Yes.
Q: How to save/load?
A: Create boxes, copy the text in the blacklined box on the right, save it somewhere, when you come back, or when your friend wants to check it, paste it in the blacklined box, press outside the box to unfocus, press V and your boxes should load. Only works on boxes, and it doesn't save their rotation or joints.
Example: |222.5|123|5.5|43|246.5|161.5|29.5|5.5|313.5|125.5|27.5|44.5|365.5|125.5|6.5|42.5|385.5|163|26.5|5
Q: Why doesn't my camera work?
A: Are you on 7? Mine worked fine on XP, changed on 7 and it stopped working, can't confirm anything on Vista.
Instructions:
Build your own stacks.
Click+drag to make a box, Ctrl+Click+Drag to make a circle.
Hold Shift + click to drag objects
Hold Q + mouseover to move an object, this also puts objects to sleep, if not already.
Mouseover + Del to delete an object (Delete lots of shapes fast by moving mouse around rapidly while holding Del)
1-4 to spawn a stack of shapes, lowest shape is on mouse position and others upwards from that.
Arrowkeys to change selected value. Changes apply only to newlymade shapes.
A/S/D to place a corner of a triangle W to create the triangle
Z to create ragdoll on mouse (head on mouse)
X to create bridge on mouse (the leftmost plank on mouse, others rightwards from that)
J to create object-background joint
K to create object-object joint (hold K, click on an obejct, hold mouse, release on another object to create joint)
Y + click an object to delete the most recently made joint of the object.
M to change the mode.
N to change to oldmode.
Numpad to control camera - 1-4 & 6-9 to move it around, +/- to zoom, 5 to reset.
Restitution means how much things bounce. Density is their weight (0 is a static object). Friction is friction.
Joints:
Revolution Joint (K) = Motor joint, if you set enough motor speed and torque, the second object (the one under mouse on release) will start spinning.
Distance Joint (L) = Simple rigid joint between objects, is created between the point of click & release.
Gear Joint (H) = Will joint 2 objects to the background and make their rotations dependent on each other.
Prismatic Joint (G) = Jointed in the background, but allowing movement within a line (set (x,y) in variables)
Mouse Joint (J) = The joint you use in dragging.
To do:
- Apologizing watchers for spamming new versions
- Properly-working triangles
The lower an item is on the list, the more likely I am NOT to do it, thanks to my close-to-none-AS3 and Box2DAS3 skills. But feel free to suggest.

I only get a white blank screen...i try to right click and click "movie not loaded", but i can't.

Really awesome game man

Without taking a closer look at the project, I can't quite tell what's wrong with it.
I am, however going to suggest that you learn AS3 and get off the timeline as soon as possible.
It may seem like a hassle right now, but AS2 is so very outdated already and in general way inferior to AS3.

Thankyou for replying. I figured it out but thankyou for taking the time to reply to my message

Omg this would be awesome on Kongregate! I have a hard time getting my friends to leave kongregate to play a game 
Would you take it into consideration?

Uploaded. Made stage slightly bigger.

If you just think it's worth it, I don't mind uploading it there too.
Personally I think it's way too bad to be considered a real, game-site-worthy, game. Too many things crammed in very small space, not to mention interface straight from hell.

So Your not going to put MaD on deviantart even just the classic one?

how complicated it is to have fun these days XD

This is really awesome dude
Did you write the engine for it?
Interface is a little hard to use but that's ok... UI's are harder to write than physics engines in flash
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad you like it.
The physics engine is called Box2D ([link] )
I had slight problems with visual interface so I had to go for keyboard controlling everything, which wasn't that bad in the beginning actually, but now that it uses 90% of the keyboard, it can be fairly confuzing, yeah.

It was originally only in C++ but has now been ported to Scala, Python, Java, Flash and C Sharp.
I used the Flash-port.

the new one springs errors about vectors in one of the source .as files!
does that happen to you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haven't tried the new one myself, but there's been some pretty drastic changes so you probably need to update your file(s) so they work on the newest version.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yeah, it's pretty heavy from time to time.

question... did i send you a message on your page? ;.; cause im trying to find a AS3 programmer to help me with something
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You didn't. But feel free to, even though I'm not so much an AS3 programmer, but I'll see what I can do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
-.- dam... unless you can figure out how to do this with AS2 XD. but i was just told i cant do that on flash in genarol.. im makeing a data base based flash with filters and text searching... you think you can do that in as2? or do i need as3 or another program
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't have any experience myself on database, nor text searching-fronts, but there seems to be both AS2 and AS3 text search scripts out there. For example AS2: [link]
Try searching around for 'as(2 or 3) search engine/text search/something like that'
Then there's also all this serverside stuff you can go for if you wish.
If you have a more detailed explanation of what you're doing, or trying to do, or a .fla or .swf, it would be a bit easier to (try to) help

welll im working on the FLA. and i have an Explaition of how it works on the Games website...

Ugh... That's pretty heavy stuff, coding a full shop with global user interaction (if I understood it right).
I'm pretty sure the search will be among the smallest of your problems if you haven't coded everything already.
And even if you've managed to get everything working (except the search), I'm pretty sure it'd be way over my head to even try to help, sorry.

its okay ^^ i have found someone willing to help me out here.. not sure how long it will take but wile i will be waiting for him to finish i will be devising my attack plains on the companies that are involved with the game. if your good at those things please note me

Somehow I made a green square. I don't know how I made it or how to get rid of it. In other news, this is awesome. Best of your Demolition 'games' so far.

If you click+drag while holding 1-4, it might make a green (static) shape. Might be because creating lots of things simultaneously. And you can't delete it because of the very reason that it is static, and I've disabled deleting them (otherwise you'd go delete the floor and that wouldn't be fun at all :I)
But now that I think about it, why shouldn't you be able to create statics too? I'll rework on it today maybe and see if I can
1) Fix the bug while drawing (makes red previewcircles be draw even without clicking)
2) Make textfields work with this (for some reason when I added textfields, the drawingsystem went haywire if you mouseovered a textfield while drawing a shape)
3) Make user change shape density (weight) (0 = static)
We'll see.

Love the interface, could only dream of doing stuff like this. *sigh*.. I wish my college had an actionscript class.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you.
And well. You don't particularly need an actionscript class for this, there's only pretty basic functions (which I ripped right from the internets, my AS3 skills still being somewhat... minimal), and the rest is possible thanks to Box2D.
I never studied actionscript myself via any other kind of education than simply by opening the internets and browsing around a bit. By putting some time in it, you, or anyone else for that matter, can do it too.
If you feel like you'd want to give AS a shot and encounter problems, just ask, and I'll see what little I can do.

..interesting gizmo.....
...you should also add a copy feature so you don't have to re-make all the circles......
