I've just spent 2 hours making it from scratch! Try it out and tell me what you think (its only 20 Kb so it'll only take a sec!) - but be gentle you don't want to hurt it...... www.geocities.com/james_lohr/jelly.zip -move mouse to move the jelly Could you suggest how I could use it in a game cause I can't think of any really good ideas. PS (is it jelly or jello in the UK? I can't remember even though I've lived here 7 years - back home in South Africa it was jelly.)

Nice effect! And no, I can't find a good game use for it either... unless you want to make a dynamic version of the Jell-O level in James Pond 2 [EDIT] -- |

If it were a ball you could use it as a weapon, JELLY BLASTER!!! Is it possible to have multiple ones interacting? you could have the tower of jelly, or jelly blocks you must walk/jump across. Marcello |

Very funny! And guys, I guess you figure it out yourselves, but just in case, edit the texture.bmp, import your own face f.i. Mind the palette. Here's an idea to a game: The Amazing Cucaracha Busting Jelly! Smash the moving bugs with the jelly but don't smash the nice ladybugs or aunt Dorothy's porcelain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Years of thorough research have revealed that what people find beautiful about the Mandelbrot set is not the set itself, but all the rest. |

hey, don't suppose you can compile a linux version or something? Or maybe provide source? (thats easiest) -- |

Yay jelly! To bad it gets all messed up and triangle-ie when it moves to fast Gimme source, I had an idea! Jelly pong! |

I'll see if I can make it a bit more robust (I do remember once getting it to be like a chunk of rubber in an earlier program.) And no I haven't been able to get two bits of jelly to interact but I know it is possible (anything is possible in C! I just need to know more maths). I have been able to get it to interact with a solid background (like the backgrounds in my slugs game.) I've included the source code as well now.

this jelly rocks! i like the tower of jelly idea... and its set on a picnic table. and ants have found the "mother-load" and are begining to eat the base of your jelly tower.. and as the ants die near the edge of the jelly tower they start piling up forming a baracade of dead ants that prevent more ants from getting to your tower'o'jelly. ___________________________ |

Yes, but where is the whip cream!? Oh wait, I'm thinking of Jell-o. There's an old arcade game called Food Fight. In that game, you had different kinds of food piled up in random positions on the screen. You would pick up a piece of food and throw it at the chefs, who were trying to hit you also. Something like that where you throw Jelly around would rock. Mike_Vox |

I think my jelly does explode when i start to move it around alot I made up a little game within that demo, I'm dumb!. |

Now thats a good idea! The thing is I'm trying to make it so that the jelly can't mess up (it is quite ugly when it does to be honest). Your idea is still a good one though, because I could make it so that the jelly breaks into pieces instead.

This could be a funny screensaver, those ones you see for hours drooling --- In the beginning, God said "light_source { <0, 0, 0> color White }" and light was created. |

If you shake it too hard it gets wild and is takes forever to render when it goes big. Have you fixed that, if not, make sure the speeds don't go over the size of a "segment" (20). I've been messing around with it a bit, converted to c++, and tried to change from arrays to linked lists but I failed, maybe next time. |

Wow jelly rocks BTW one idea to turn this into a game would be to make a tetris game where the falling blocks are made out of jelly. There already is a game with boucing rubber blocks which is very addictive (google for tryptych and bridge-builder). it makes me hungry, too, mmmmmm <drools> jelly... |

I've still been trying to fix the jelly (in between revising for my exams): I tried making it so that the jelly was made up of triangles and restricting points from moving into triangles that they should not be in. This however had bad side effects - Although it stopped the jelly from becoming inverted, the jelly did not maintain momentum and would stop in mid air. Actually I can't believe I didn't foresee this problem. I think I'll have to try something completely new. Maybe there's nothing wrong with the physics and I just have to change the structure of the jelly or the way the jelly is moved by the mouse. I'm also planning to make it 3D sometime. Maybe one of you guys could try because I'm a bit short on time for the next week. - it should be quite simple because vectors are very similar in 3D. eg: void unit_vector_3d(double x1,double y1,double z1, double x2,double y2,double z2, double *vx,double *vy,double *vz){ double i,j,k,mag; i=x2-x1; j=y2-y1; k=z2-a1; mag=sqrt((i*i)+(j*j)+(k*k)); if(mag>0.000001){ *vx=(i/mag); *vy=(j/mag); *vz=(k/mag); } else *vx=0,*vy=0,*vz=0; } There will be quite a lot to do in terms of setting up the jelly structure but it shouldn't be too difficult. Anyway I'll be doing it myself in about a week.

hmm it reminds me of the nvidia bubble demo... if you clicked it too rapidly as well the triangles went bezerk and it pretty much blew up and you never saw it again. I'm sure there as got to be some way to "tame" the polygons.. but good luck anyway on the exams and your program. ___________________________________ |

What about just preventing any segments from passing through their neighbours, instead transferring any excess momentum to them? The momentum should propagate through the segments and eventually come out on the other end of the jelly, which is not obstructed in any way - right? -- |
