Whats that Mr. Box? You can pick things up now?

Small post today with good news! As you may know from my last post I have been tinkering with the idea of small puzzle game involving balls, triggers, platforming and doors. Well I was pondering one of my mechanics which originally was the ability to pick rigidbodies up with your mouse and move them around and realised the problem with this mechanic is that I have used this in a number of other projects before. Knowing this I knew that I really fancied something different with the same objective as the drag/drop. So after many hours trying various scripts and asking for help from the lovely people on many a forum I have managed to make a square pick up a ball by a click of a button!


This may not seem like much to an experienced programmer but in terms of where this projects is now heading I practically have all the tools to really create something fun. This new ability limits the players to only pick objects up when they are stood infront of them. They can then move them around the game play area and drop them where they would like to.

Check the small demo out below to see how it would work with my current ideas.

Why people still make use of to read news papers when in
this technological world everything is accessible on net?

I drop a comment when I like a article on a site or if I have something to valuable to contribute to
the discussion. Usually it is triggered by the fire
communicated in the post I looked at. And on this post "Whats that Mr. Box? You can pick things up now?".
I was moved enough to post a thought :-) I actually do have some questions for you if you usually do not mind.
Is it only me or does it look as if like a few
of these remarks look as if they are left by brain dead visitors?
:-P And, if you are posting on additional social sites, I would
like to follow you. Would you list all of your public sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
