It's one of those things that I think about for a short time and then forget for a few years, but recently stick figures seem to be more common.<br /><br />Metanet (the guys behind N) also have some nice tutorials on their site; that's one of the many reasons I started looking at Flash again.Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159325271882018300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-41503258368986049862009-04-14T18:45:00.000-07:002009-04-14T18:45:00.000-07:00It would be very interesting to see the game mecha...It would be very interesting to see the game mechanics behind a game like N or N+:<br /><br />http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/zzzzrrrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13680956310539038173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-75247375976840855912009-04-13T22:14:00.000-07:002009-04-13T22:14:00.000-07:00Thanks Anonymous#2 for the correction!Thanks Anonymous#2 for the correction!Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159325271882018300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-86720555366472905882009-04-13T21:51:00.000-07:002009-04-13T21:51:00.000-07:00… you're not going to spend much time seeing the p...… you're not going to spend much time seeing the pirate walk.

Use torsional springs to simulate the muscles and then by changing their initial angles you can manipulate torque at the joints. If you are a Python programmer and know about PID controls or feedback systems, you can make your guy walk or jump or whatever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-71143458677366016102009-04-13T19:45:00.000-07:002009-04-13T19:45:00.000-07:00xkcd has made stick figures cool again :-)xkcd has made stick figures cool again :-)Amithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12159325271882018300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052387.post-72938262837644304032009-04-13T19:41:00.000-07:002009-04-13T19:41:00.000-07:00Telltale Games has brought the comics of "Sam and ...Telltale Games has brought the comics of "Sam and Max" and "Homestar Runner" to computer games. You could license your stick figure technology to them to turn xkcd into a computer game! You must ditch the ninja angle, though: http://xkcd.com/486/lahoskenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011437847555356710noreply@blogger.com
