Rewrite for Vista = 100% Complete, posting v2 soon.

Fizzics is a free sandbox physics game. It has a range of props and blocks allowing you to create whatever your imagination can think up. Fizzics includes a bunch of different maps for you to enjoy too.
News:
A new version is in progress which will add an amazing amount of new and innovative content including new huge maps, new destructive weapons (TNT has been made ) crazy new objects, a cool new system allowing you to damage objects, a range of new sounds, but most importantly major bug fixes and a huge rewrite that will set this Vista issue straight. Includes a brand new update to the latest version of GMPhysics plus new improved performance for slower computers. You don't wanna miss v2.

Features
5 Maps (Fizzics Fields Day, Fizzics Fields Night, Pond, Hills, Canvas) all large enough to scroll around
A range of props from electronics, plants, and cups to cubes based off the game "Portal"
Colored and textured blocks from blue and red to wooden and wave animated
Physics using GMPhysics DLL
Night and day time shading
The ability to take photos of what you want by pressing F9

My PC crashes when I try to load a map. Looks good thought!

[CompanionCube]

I sent you a PM. If there is no error log, it must be something to do with Vista. Damn it!

Nice game.
Not much to do yet.
My suggestion is, make each object to act diffrent.
Nice making the ball explode, but make that a coffee mug or a plant falling on the ground at a certain speed crashing into pieces.
That way, you can make each object unique by making it act diffrently for each certain thing that happens.
Nicely made so far.
Can be a good and nice game

Thank you! Nice to see someone has finally given it a successful shot!

[tamper2]

Also, I just remembered...
It took me a long long time finding out what to do...
I couldn't find instructions any where...
Until I pressed every key on the keyboard and finally pressing 'E'.
You should have instructions in your 1st post, and in the 'F1' too.

Good idea! Thanks.

Bump'd.

This game is absolutely brilliant.

I like to put up 2 walls with the bricks, and then stuff red balls between the walls. When it's all full, I quickly switch to the 'Weighed Block' and start clicking them over the red balls, and the balls go flying(sorry, that sounded kind of wrong )!
One time the game crashed when I overloaded it with blocks and block destroyers, though.
Also, I suggest making the steel balls and red balls heavier. I could never get a red ball to reach the bottom of the lake without putting heavier items on it.
The worse thing in it is just that it's so slow when you put a block destroyer on even 5 or 6 blocks at once. Also, you should have a choice whether it is daytime or nighttime in each level. Everything else was nice, though.

Great game, CitrusLemon. 9/10.

EDIT: Also, isn't it really easy to fix the 'Oops I deleted the system' bug? I supposed you use something like position_destroy() to delete stuff. Just make it check if the 'system' object is at the mouse's position, then delete objects if the 'system' object isn't at the mouse's position.

Yet another bump. Can anyone else confirm the vista bug?

[cooldudetb]

Is this still in development? You shouldn't let the vista bug let you down.
If you send me a PM with basic info like what version of GM and GMPhysics your using and I could maybe help fix it.

And why have you changed your name? I preferred CitrusLemon personally.

Keep on developing this great game!

Thanks, with my purchase of Gm7 going along I will be able to rewrite the game. Sure, its not as great as Physbox, but I hope at least some people will enjoy it.
@daman: To prevent the lag with the destroyer object I will remove the explosion effect, probably.

[CompanionCube]

I'm adding some ramp blocks for the game. Any suggestions for any additions?

[Kyon]

Wow!
This one was nice!
What about making this an open source?

[CompanionCube]

Open source? Nah. This is a serious project for me. But I could provide some examples on how I did some things once the game is entirely done. If your just looking for physics take a look at the old GMPhysics DLL for Gm6 - or better yet, the one for Gm7!

[CompanionCube]

I am planning to start Fizzics from scratch again and use a fresh physics engine. I want it to be more professional and feature rich this time.
