Talking about Splitter game, Box2D, Game development and Links.
If you played Splitter in these days, you probably enjoyed the gameplay thanks to the knife cutting and slicing various objects in the game
Obviously you can made your own splitter game with BOX2D, and the “only” problem seems to be the knife.
Well, in the BOX2D official forum there is a thread where a user created his own slicing engine (with a laser in the example) and released the source code.
This is what you will get with the script:
The boxes have been cut by the laser, sorry for the picture but I was controlling the laser with the mouse, pressing “C” to cut and “Print” to capture the image… I wasn’t quick enough…
The source code is C, but you (or me) can easily port it into AS3.
