Reasonably fantastic contraption

October 1, 2008 by  

Apropos of nothing, I happened on FantasticContraption, a little online physics game that could wind up wasting a LOT of time.

The object of the game is to move a coral-colored wheel (or square) into the goal box. You’re given a toolbox of connectors and wheels; use them to build a machine that propels the target wheel into the box. With each success the playing field gets a little more complicated, a few more obstacles. In the shot above, I’m driving a giant wheel to get to goal.

It’s one of those things that looks mindless until you get into construction, and then it gets like peanuts.
