About a month ago I was playing around trying to make some "gravity gun"-like feature (like from Half Life 2), but then stopped working on it. If anyone can use it, here's the source.

It includes:

• Basic platformer movements with physics
• Pick up a box by clicking and holding the mouse on it - it will then follow the tip of your invisible gravitygun
• Throw boxes you've picked up with increasing force (let go of left mousebutton) or just drop them again (right mousebutton)
• Joints and ramps
• Two basic puzzle levels demonstrating how you could make a physucs based puzzleplatformer out of this

right click>save as

Link don't work for me

Did you try to right click and choose "save as" (as I instructed in my post)?

Yes, it only download 7KB of the file. And aborts the download :/

Same problem here. I get 7KB only.

I try to import that, but it gives me an error. So I assume the file should have more in it.

I apologize. It seems my host is retarded.

Here is a megafileupload version.

hmm physics in an isomettic 2d grid would(to my knowledge) be incredibly hard and a waste of time, even just trying to have a floor would be a huge hassle

These require a 3D physics engine. Box2D is not sufficient anymore...

I suppose it might just about work if objects are never off the ground, so the dimensions are N-S,E-W instead of U-D,L-R. You might try to trick the player into thinking its a grid-based push-block puzzle and then the blocks start going off grid and turning and stuff. Hard work for little effect though I think.

If it was just to get pushable stuff then there are far easier ways.
