It’d been a while since I’d last checked Internet Tablet Talk, which is a site all about tablets, software for them, etc. It’s basically all about the Nokia n810 right now, which is what I have, so I try to go there once in a while to see what new things are available for my n810. This recent visit did not disappoint!

I’ve seen demos of 2D physics engines before, where you can draw a slope, and then a ball over it, and then gravity will kick in, letting the ball drop to the slope and roll down. Or, you can draw two wheels, and then a car frame, and the software knows to link them all together into a vehicle that can roll around. I find the concept fascinating as I’ve always been interested in physics, and love taking advantage of games that use the Havok physics engine. You better believe I had a blast with Portal as well.

Anyway, there is this very rudimentary game for the n810 called “Numpty Physics“. Even though it is the very early stages, and doesn’t have much in the way of levels, or the ability to draw pendulums, or make vehicles, it is a TON of fun. I can’t wait to see if anyone takes on the task of making this game better, and creating a suite of levels.

Still, it cannot compare to “Crayon Physics Deluxe“, which while not out yet, just blows my mind. Watch the YouTube video on the site, and you’ll see what I mean. I have yet to try “Crayon Physics” though. I’m sure it would be just as fun.

…and, while checking out some videos of Crayon Physics, one of the dudes talking about the games at the Game Developers Conference mentioned “Desktop Tower Defense“… so I decided to check it out… and I just spent the last 40 minutes playing it.

It is almost 2am! Fuck!!
