Some time ago I published Basic Filler engine with Box2D – part 1, now it’s time to see the next step. I am going to add enemies, the evil bouncing balls. Obviously, enemies aren’t affected by gravity, and this can be made following the instructions published at Managing multiple gravities with Box2D. The next, big, … Basic Filler engine with Box2D – part 2
One of the apparently hardest things to do with Box2D is assigning different gravity forces to different objects. For instance, you may want the world to be ruled with regular gravity, while you don’t want the bullet fired by your character to be affected, or you may want regular gravity for all boxes and inverted … Managing multiple gravities with Box2D
After publishing Platform engine using Box2D, my attempt to replicate the Rick Triqui‘s main character continues. Now you can move the guy with left and right arrows, aim the bazooka with the mouse and shoot a bullet clicking on the mouse. The bazooka isn’t a Box2D object because I didn’t need to include it into … Platform engine using Box2D – Step 2
Platform engines always represented a challenge for me, you can see my prototypes with AS2 and AS3, and this time I am going to make one using Box2D. Box2D is used as physics engine by PlayCrafter guys, and since the results you can see in Rick Triqui game are really interesting, I’ll start coding my … Platform engine using Box2D
You should all known Meeblings and the sequel, Meeblings 2. You have to help the Meeblings (cute creatures I’d love to burn alive) reaching the exit using some special abilities.

I think we finally have a working slicing engine. It started with The engine behind Splitter Flash game, then come The engine behind Splitter Flash game – first AS3 prototype and The engine behind Splitter Flash game – new AS3 prototypes. Now Guillaume Pommey aka pompom sent us a working version. I revised my prototype … The engine behind Splitter Flash game : working code
Some time ago I posted Create a Flash game like Totem Destroyer, and now I am showing you a complete prototype made by Collin Douch. The prototype features slimy and non-removable blocks and collision detection between the totem and the ground. Such detection was made customizing Box2D’s b2ContactListener class. For more information about this class … Full Totem Destroyer prototype
