Why is it the simplest things are the most amusing ?
It's also strange that these seemingly simple physic kind of problems are quite the challange to implement unless you have a firm grip on this kind of thing.
It's also these seemingly simple things, when combined with other simple elements, tend to really bring a sense of realism. LifeForce/Salamander/Gradius/Nemesis have several of these kind of things that always boggled my mind to no end.
Fredborg, Have you ever played/seen the Gradius series set of games. If so, you know the segmented arms that slowly move towards the player but the whole thing is locked down at it the base by the final segment ?
Any chance you having a little more Holiday cheer in your bag of tricks and knocking that little bugger up ?
Lastly, any recommended math/physics readings?
