Armadillo Run forum

I was experimenting, and found a whole new way to play the game, I call it "Ghost Running". The armadillo is moving with no slope, it propells its-self with only mere cloth, I couldint believe my eyes when I found this.

Also, for a faster pace, you can use a metal bar in the middle.

You can only accomplish this when you are editing the actual level, not when you are in "play" mode.

To do this you simply create a square box out of cloth and then move the 'Dillo inside of it and press start.

You can not create the box of cloth around the 'Dillo any other way to my knolwedge.

Well at least you can create levels like that, its a fun thing to experiment with

But you can build a looser sheet structure, and then use tension to make the cloth very tight around the 'dillo.

It is a very interesting result for sure

Good idea with the tension BiG D!

Also, you can do this: MoreForce2.lvl

So I guess my invintion was useful after all

Looks even more catastrophic with rubber:

Good stuff, guys. Poor armadillo must be getting pretty dizzy...

Does anyone know what is going on here?

I understand how the quirks of the physics system produce "The Force", but this just seems totally random.

It must be something similar to the spinning Force engines, where the armadillo being forced into the cloth, tensions the cloth which forces it into the armadillo, which... and so on...

Is it possible to tweak the starting conditions to control which way the armadillo spins?

Well, I figured this out by watching the armadillo when it is stuck inbetween two pieces of metal like this: that it tends to "spin, but just slightly. Well I also noticed that you could wrap the armadillo in cloth. So I combined both of the theories, and came up with this. I just hope that most glitches dont get fixed in later versions.
