physics- make a game

As a group or single our task was to create a game using the activity 'Physics' on sugar. Me, Airsokand DarkDragon had created this game.

The aim of the game is to try and get three balls of any size (your choice) and using the rubber band like tool to throw the ball over the wall and get the ball to land on either of the three platforms which have points on them (5,10 and 20 points). The ball must be on one of the three long platforms in order for the point to count. Once all three balls have been thrown it is the next player's turn to throw.

After all players have had a shot throwing the points of each player is added up and the person witht he highest total in the end is the winner.

My views of this game is that it can be quite challenging trying to get the 20 points.

Today I'm trying out the activity "Physics"

Physics allows you to draw shapes or create them using various tools. There is a play and stop button stopping and starting gravity. When played, all the shapes would fall down as though they were real life solid objects. When stopped all the shapes stay still as though they would in any drawing program.

There are also other tools used to delete shapes, rotate any shapes, keep them still in one place, connect shapes or move them as though they were attached to an elastic piece of string.

Many games can also be created using this activity.

Overall i think this activity is a great activity to use when wanting to have some fun playing with gravity and shapes. Although it does have a problem of not being able to save.
