Chronic Logic

This software is great not only to bulid bridges! Create your own levels and find out how a crane, for example, is stressed if the load is swinging back and forth. It took me some hours to get this 12-story-monster balanced and rigid enough to hold a swinging heavy steel beam.

did anyone create interesting no-bridge levels?

I love to create other things than bridges. Often, the mechanism becomes to big and is not stable enough. If I could downsize the scale, the physics of smaller dimensions would be different and mechanical functions could be designed without worrying about - say - the weight of a beam. Also, hinges would help, but this was already mentioned at other topics.

My idea of variable scales is not worked out in any way. I guess, with a smaller scale, things happen much faster on the screen and therefore we all need supercomputers or we accept slow motion shows, so, it´s just an idea. Changing some physical parameters while changing the scale should not be too hard for CL.
