this is a popular time-killer at my school... bunch of engineers playing an engineering game, haha It's called Bridge Builder, really simple concept.. you build bridges. You connect some truces while staying under budget, than test the bridge and hope that the little gray animated train can make it across w/o your bridge failing. You can get it here: http://www.crypticsea.com/ (in the lower left corner of that page) Here are some quick hints on how to be a pro-builder (minor spoilers): http://www.bridgebuilder-game.com/bb-tips.php Click Stress, and watch your truces stretch(dark blue), or compress(red) until they snap O CRAP I challenge someone to beat my 2600$ Bridge on level 2 of MapPack-New
Yea this is nothing new, game is ©2000 I think.. but searched and nothing was posted about it, so thought I'd give it some life.
I had so much fun with that game in CAD class back in H.S. I'd spend the whole class period setting it up to make a ramp after it all settled (think counter-weight). Also, If you let a floating piece fall down at the right time, it would cut off the cargo boxes, and the front train would take off like a rocket. It'd hit the ramp and clear the whole gap usually. I think that was an earlier version of the game though, because I downloaded this one, and it's a little different and I cant make the train boxes separate from one another. But man, that game made classtime fly by.
so i figured out if the bridge collapses but the train jumps to the other side you still pass the level
old... What's the difference? I haven't read any of the stuff, I wanted to test my natural engineerin skillz first.
nothing really different, Old map is just what you'd expect.. new map's have trains that need to pass both directions(bridge has to stay up), and it has a few levels where you have to teeter the bridge, kinda like a see-saw haha Aka Level 4 here's what i did for lvl 7 http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/3221/lvl7xl3.jpg sucks but worked
two pieces on lvl 1 doesn't work for me either, i think that what computer it runs on makes a small difference
very similar to what i was building until i got bored and made a bagel :laugh: have to finish it tonight lol
I just played that for about an hour at work....sssshhhhh. ha ha, sweet game dude! Questions though, what is the strategy with the dark guys and how do you upgrade towers?
15 old you have to build a cantilever and then counterweight it so that it raises the bridge into a jump
lvl 7, you have to click Build Deck at the bottom left to build the part the train drives on, than unclick it to build truces again.
900$ passes @ 134,000 fails @ 135,000 edit: here's the bridge http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/6006/lvl2chlce0.jpg
Someone want to download this game. Change the filename to Bridgebuilder.txt and send it to my email address? or zip it to my email address? Can't get it at work because of smart filters. [email protected] Thanks in advance.
Oh, it works. You just have to build it so that the platform is straigh out and the big blob on the left (which is the counterweight) will lift the other side.
