wowsers!
but i see a lot of bugs, predominantly boxes going outside the boundaries or getting stuck in the boundaries.

I say, once everything is settled...
CHUCK IN A MOLOTOV COCKTAIL! WHOOSH!!
...But that falling boxes concept is quite interesting.

imagine that all of those boxes are crates of c4--then toss in a molotov!

YES!! Me wants a BIG BOOM!!
And there will be one, with all that c4...>D

You're alive! You haven't submitted anything to DevArt in a WHILE! ^_^

yep i've been distracted by other things! i'll be checking in more often now.

Oh, ok. Neato, I can't wait for the next Interactive Buddy! ^_^

whenever an object turns red that means it is inactive and your cpu isn't wasting time calculating is movements. when another object comes into contact with it, it of course "wakes up" and is simulated just as before. just a way to make sure the game doesn't waste and processing power. of course that's "under the hood" type stuff that you won't see in the final game. it'll be there, but obviously the objects won't turn red and you'll have no idea it's going on.

Ok. But it would be neat if we had a mode that caused something like that to happen,you know making it change color as it moved.

my goal for this project is to make it as user extendable as possible. in fact one thing i realized is that the first thing i need to do is create a fast, simple, but nonetheless powerful scripting engine (which i am starting now) and build as much of the game content as possible using scripts, and of course put in a gui so that users can modify and make their own scripts.
basically in the last game i tacked on the scripting engine pretty much at the end of development. for this one i want it to be an integral part of it, so that for example you can create your own "modes" such as what you are describing (color change on object movement).
anyway sorry if i am rambling! i'm just at the point now where i'm trying to solidify all of my ideas and the direction this project will take!

Looks good so far...but may i ask, as i'm not too savvy with this kind of stuff, what exactly is the purpose of the boxes and circles? i'm not entirely clear on that.

yep just showing how the physics and collision system will work. e.g. all the objects in the game will be represented as either circles or polygons which interact. the box2d engine provides the basic laws of physics, and i'll be adding all kinds of interactions on top of that.

ah, i se. thank you for explaining it to me.

I think to test collision effects.

sorry about the overly wide flash file---it's 1280x720, the size that the final game will be
