Your challenge is to build the structure so that it matches the picture on the solution side of the card. At this point in the video, you can see the crowd that has gathered. There must be a tension in the construction of something, no matter if that is something physical like a stick bomb or something abstract like a chess strategy. These videos were made possible through an open-source physics engine called Bullet Physics and an open source 3d animation application called Blender which utilizes the physics simulation of Bullet Physics. You can download from the sites.

If plansk missed my earlier post about Keva planks and the fun of destruction, you can check it out here. And before you alert DHS agents, there are no explosives. You can download from the sites. By weaving popsicle sticks in a plnks pattern, you can create a mat that looks a lot like a trivet you would make in elementary school. The diagram shows the figure in top view, side view, and front view.
Instead of just pushing it over, the creators allowed kids to swing a plumb bullett at the structure to knock out the planks that comprised the base. Keva planks are precision cut wooden building blocks. Physical Keva structures can be rendered virtual, which can be made tangible again, which can then be folded back upon itself so many times that no one can predict what will emerge.
I imagine that there will be many kids who will be perfectly happy to take the planks and make their own designs. Destruction markedly devoid of violence. Your challenge is to build the structure so that bullft matches the picture on the solution side of the card.
When the tower ultimately topples over, there is a swell of noise not just from the collapsing blocks, but also lpanks the assembled witnesses. It is a testament to human ingenuity, patience, and play.
The engne jump up off the floor with surprising force. It takes many swings to bring the structure crashing down and the tension is palpable as is the joy. It happens quickly but with a fluidity that gives the impression that it was held up with wires.
These videos were made possible through an open-source physics engine called Bullet Physics and an open source 3d animation application called Blender which utilizes the physics simulation of Bullet Physics. As the puzzles get harder, the diagrams become somewhat more difficult to suss out, but the billet dexterity to build the solutions becomes much kevw challenging.
Although many of us at Major Fun liked playing with the challenge cards, just as many liked building our own structures. The game comes with 20 planks and 30 puzzle cards. I think, to a certain degree, fun is contingent on threat.

It stood over 50 feet tall when complete. Both of these programs are free. Very few people want to watch, let alone participate in, the creation of large scale domino installations, but they will come out of the woodwork if it means they can watch the whole thing fall down.
Physics bound design programs are an extension of this feedback loop. For there to be fun there must exist stakes.
The Keva planks pile up in a drift across the floor like a wave that freezes the moment it strikes the shore.
The video is short, compressing the entire process to just over 3 minutes. I had fun trying to come up with complicated designs that I would then draw in all three perspectives.

The cards are double sided. I can in no way comment on the coding or any other technical aspect of these programs, however, I am thrilled that these tools are out there for kids and adults— for anyone who wants to pphysics and play in a virtual environment that so closely mimics are own. The Keva tower took around 10 hours to complete and consisted of over blocks of wood. First, check out this video of Keva structures brought low by toy balls and Newtonian physics.
There are all sorts of videos out there documenting the destruction of things: Turns out, they also make for an interesting brain-teaser.
