Hello there people of the forums,
I always wanted a copy of AR on the go, so I decided to start creating AR for the PPC. It is missing 3d(not that it's actually used) and the famous AR physics engine. Attached here is a picture.


Should I continue? (There's already the angle, rotation speed, and location of the ball in there, it only needs the physics engine and it'll look exactly like the original AR, but in 2d and smaller :P)

More objects.. Yeah, that would require collision testing, which I don't want right now... I'll add more buttons :P

I think you should grab a copy of Sirs Zimanski physics book and learn mechanics before making the physics engine... ;)

Secondly I think you should ask Peter if he allows you to create such program...

Good luck :)

Meh, I'm just making the game engine, Peter's physics engine is his own(and is the trademark of AR), so I suggest he'll add his own code.

Armadillo Run belongs to Peter Stock, and so is the physics engine, if the development on the game port continues his name will be practically everywhere :) If he wants he can just port his engine to the AR4PPC framework.

Peter, may I continue developing AR4PPC? (everything can be under your supervision. After all, the original program belongs to you)

Shoot, I'd download it.
(particularly if I didn't have to pay again...)

I'd also suggest (perhaps unwisely) checking the Suggestions For Next Version. Stuff like pulleys/rope-anchors...even when you're the one suggesting 'em, it's easy to forget. :-D

The suggestion list is unrelated to this project

Are you positively sure that I'll get answered at "enquiries@armadillorun.com"?

Okay Mr. Bully sir...
Does Peter Stock have a user here or it's just PeterT?
