Hey the game seems to have some community challenges, I wanna make some DF community challenges .

Yeah, there are community challenges in the forums there, there's the official challenges, which are made up by the creator of the game(and his brothers), there is none running right now, and there are user challenges, which are made up by the users.
And if you have an idea for a challenge, feel free to post it here/there.

[Pnx]

CHALLENGE! Make something dwarftastic.

EDIT: To specify, make something DF or dwarf themed.

[Aklyon]

Huzzah for chalenges!

[Demki]

There you go, it's definitely DF related.

It's a floodgate, press space to lift it... I feel silly about it now.

Real floodgates disappear.

I could also make a lever to connect to the floodgate(with mysterious invisible mechanism{AKA wire more})

doesn't work for me. I open it, comes up with loading screen for about 5 seconds then closes. I have windows xp a graphics card java. Can anyone hlep?
This game sounds awesome

Yeah, this is pretty damn neat.

Mostly posting to dot the thread.

Posting to follow any interesting developments in the thread. So far, I am sorely disappointed with the lack of a real "axis" unit, i.e. one that consists of a "mount" piece, and an "axle" piece. Right now there's a motor, but to make, for example, a toy car, you have to make the axles yourself, with toruses and cylinders.

Edit: after mucking around in it, it has suddenly dawned on me. The tools, the functions, the properties... everything I see except the 3D is reminiscent of my first "favorite" physics application, Interactive Physics. It was 2D, but had much the same functionality, except of course with more advanced options. I had some ridiculous fun with it. Let's see if I can recreate some of my awesome experiments.

You could use the axle(what you call the motor), select it(left click it), and check the checkbox next to "ball bearing".
I didn't really understand what you meant by "axis" unit, but since I've had toy cars, I remember that the wheels on both sides rotated in the same direction, and the axle with "ball bearing" checked acts that way.

You should try posting in the official forums, sounds like a bug to me. Since I am not one of the developers, I can't provide so much tech support.
Hm... Does the screen open in full screen?

[1piemaster1]

No, it isnt full screen, and i looked at the troubleshooting on their forums and a few people had the same problem, but no answers.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Huh, did't notice the "ball bearing" mode. Yeah, that's more or less what I wanted. My little buggy is moving along nicely.

This is awesome, won't be getting much sleep tonight.
