The idea was to make a full-featured block-based Tower editor to create a series of levels. Of course, I ran out of time and only included a few simple levels with one basic win mechanic &#8211; just stack the blocks high enough and let them come to rest, and you win. However, the editor is pretty full-featured and fun to just play around with, and it does a good job of showing off the underlying 2D Java physics engine.<\/p>\n <p>Right click to drag around objects. Left click to create objects in the editor mode.<\/p>\n <p>It&#8217;s a signed applet (due to the XML reader\/writer I&#8217;m using for saving\/loading levels), so you&#8217;ll have to click through a security permission to play. But hopefully it should be cross-platform enough so that you&#8217;ll be able to try it out. Have fun!<\/p>\n <p><a title=\"Tower Construction Kit\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gamefight.org\/fight\/will\/goliath\">http:\/\/gamefight.org\/fight\/will\/goliath<\/a><\/p>\n \n <p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/final\/\" rel=\"tag\">final<\/a><\/p>","time":"August 10th, 2008 6:58 pm","title":"Tower Construction Kit"}
