Golems is a 3D recreational physics simulator
Build robots, spaceships, clocks, catapults or cannons.
Add sensors, timers, switches, motors. Give it a brain. Make a mouse trap - or make a mouse.
Take the wheel and pilot your machine yourself.

Build anything.

This game, or should I say, toy, allows you to create 3D models and machines, design the wiring, and when it's ready, turn the Physics ON.

(The new golems forums are at http://bgucfanforum.runboard.com/)

I enjoy it, I enjoy taking the challenges on the forums.

An example of the absurd things you can make in Golems:

And one of the challenges compilation videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueQvW4GI5og

Golems was made by Sam Bayless, and, is still in development(The latest version is 0.56.0).

I hope you enjoy it, and enjoy fiddling with it .

EDIT:

2 Video tutorials for those who want them:

• Basic Controls
• Spiral Tutorial

Actually, the first one to be made was the Spiral Tutorial

Dling now.
It's what I always wanted.

Also, I forgot to mention, the wiki(and the tutorial which is in the wiki) is slightly outdated, some video tutorials can be found on the forums, I'll edit the OP once I find them.

Oh man, goodbye sleep.

Controls are nice, but how do I get stuff to do stuff? The only thing I got to work by attaching a battery to it was a rocket.

dling, sounds awesome

Wow I lost 20 minutes, now I went to the wiki and saw about "negative wires". Now I can finish my car! (Haven't read the wiki first, duh)

Btw yeah, it's 5:30 here. I'm on break from college so..

- I used to play Robot Arena 2, and the Workshop makes me remember this.
I spent hours on that thing just creating weird stuff, didn't even care for battles.

Still wish you could put a mover on another mover without the physics freaking out.

A mover?

Universal term I'm using for motors and pneumatics in Robot Arena 2.

[Akura]

I made two rectangular objects, and attached together via a powered hinge activated by a keypress, it flapped around. Kekekeke .

[Jopax]

I think i screwed up, i ran the game, changed the settings, set to full screen and the native resolution for my screen, then restarted it, now it crashes when i run it, reinstalling doesn't help as it still runs fullscreen and crashes

[Cheese]

Is there some sort of settings.ini in the game files?

[Demki]

\Golems\dist\settings.jar
open this jar, it allows you to change settings.

Edit:
"\Golems" simply means the Golems directory.
