Following the Fizex 'Rope Demo' v2 I created this basic 2D ragdoll demo. I hope you guys like it, you can press 'i' to spawn a new 'Steve'.

(btw, the name 'steve' has no direct link to any 'steve' on this board or any of the steve's that I know in real life. if anyone has any problems let me know.)

Here are some pretty images, to play the demo please visit my Demo Page


Feedback would be awesome let me know if there are any problems

Man Dartsman, that's really cool. How did you approach calculating the data for all the different joints? I'd like to take a crack at doing this in Python if you don't mind. I had so much fun playing this, it would make a great game, possibly something like using different items (cannons, catapults, slings, ect) to launch the radoll dude and bounce/propel him off of different objects to land him in a certain area. Good work, this is really neat stuff.

thanks Ereon.

Yeah, I was thinking about doing that sort of stuff There are quite a few games that do just each one, but nothing that does the majority of them in one. I was thinking about doing an 'episodic' release of them but wouldn't mind just getting them all to be created into a single game.

I also have an idea for 2 other games which would use the same physics stuff, I'll probably look into starting those once I get a more stable system and more complete physics system running. My next task is box->point collision

The 'physics' are quite simple, just read the following:

I was able to rip off steve's head by clicking it and dragging around wildly. W00t!
