Ooh - this looks like fun!
My website: Currently boring.

Projects:
Axe Interpreter
   > Core: Done
   > Memory: Need write code to add constants.
   > Graphics: Rewritten.  Needs to integrate sprites with constants.
   > IO: GetKey done.  Need to add mostly homescreen IO stuff.
Croquette:
   > Stomping bugs
   > Internet version: On hold until I can make my website less boring/broken.

Wow, that was a lot to read and take in :P I thought competitions were meant to be handled by Raylin though ;)

As for this, sounding and looking great, Builder :D I can't wait for the sandbox demo. It shall be epically epic ;D

Lol SirCmwpn :P

Keep up the good work on both your engine and good luck :D

Maybe I missed something but I didn't realize that axe supported subs with arguments? If it does then how? this seems to be undocumented (at least in the official PDF document)

use sub(NAME,arg1,arg2,...,arg6
arg1 is stored to r1, arg2 is stored to r2, and so on.
You can get these from [2nd]+[Vars], [R!ght], [3]

cool! I never knew that! makes me wonder whether or not it is possible to make a sort of 'Gamemaker' which is just a bunch of useful subs copied into the program :P.

Okay so now that the sandbox is in working stages i can resume work on the actual engine that powers it :D Next up on my list is fully supporting friction between the walls and all objects.  The friction will be greater the more the objects are pressed together :D

Nice to hear, I hope adding the friction is not too challenging

This is really exciting :D
too bad rotation isn't an option on the calc...

Alright guys, the date of the next release of the Zedd physics library is drawing near!  And as a results I have a whole new engine and a whole new set of features for you guys to implement into your games!  First off is the most important aspect of the engine in my opinion, which is the ease of use.  The engine is designed to be usable completely through subroutines, that way you don't have to go messing with Zedd's code, and still retain a high level of complexity, compatibility, and customization.

The second feature that should be very beneficial for anybody wanting to write a physics game is the ability to add in libraries that interface directly with Zedd and add new features.  This can be useful for using Zedd to simulate rope physics as well for example.

The third feature that is now supported is a physics callback method.  This can be used by the programmer to impart rules and forces to each object in the simulation, as you get to define a method that is applied to every object during the simulation.  This can be used to impart global forces that impact all objects, such as a global water line that applies buoyancy to the objects.  

The fourth and last major addition to the Zedd library is universal object friction.  All objects now impart and receive frictional force from the objects and world they collide with.  Not only does this mean more advanced stacking features, but also clever uses such as conveyor belts and moving platforms.

Now unfortunately in it's current state, Zedd is unable to be compiled with any current version of Axe, so the release cannot happen until a few bugs (namely the ** and *^ multiplication bugs) are sorted out.  Nevertheless, I have composed a screenshot demo of the new engine, and used it to create a world that demonstrates all 4 of the new features.  In the screenshot you can see rope physics, using an outside library.  Water physics, implemented with a callback function.  A conveyor belt, using the newly implemented friction.  And the control of the claw itself, which uses the built in functions of Zedd to interface with the simulation.

To play with the demo yourselves, merely send the AXE.8xp program, an the M.8xv appvar to your calculators ARCHIVE, and run the AXE program!  Controlls are arrow keys to move the claw, alpha to grab with the claw, and 2nd to move the conveyor belt.  Have fun!  And keep an eye out for the first official Zedd release!

I might even play around with axe again just to try out working with zedd :)
