Hooray for bridge-building physics games!

I'm a let you finish, but Fantastic Contraption is one of the greatest physics games of all time.

Man. At about 10:00 I was ready to go to bed. Then I made the mistake of following your link, Juxtapose.

I couldn't get past the first level with steel bridges. Tried about 6 times, and then got frustrated and gave up.

This is hardly fair. This is what I'm supposed to do for a living but now you've given me a way to do it whenever I want without having to apply for a job or follow any code guidelines. And without an income. Thanks a lot. [Mad]

Aargh. I'm stuck on level 16. I got frustrated enough that I looked at the 'hint', but even though I'm copying it exactly, my bridge falls down.

How can you tell what level your on? I can't see anything on the screen with a level number. Is this part of the intelligence test? If so, it probably doesn't bode well for the little guys walking over my bridge...

If you back out of the level, and go to the main menu you can see the level numbers.

I used a steel platform and substructure with a wooden superstructure for 16.

Yep. I even built it exactly like the hint did (near as I could tell), with no luck.

I'm having the same problem with 22. It's rather infuriating.

I'm ending my near complete inactivity on these boards to say that this game is driving me absolutely mad.

Level 13 shouldn't be that hard. It doesn't look that hard. I'm completely stumped. I even resorted to looking at the clue and copying it exactly (even to the exact lengths of the pieces). I thought I had the first bridge they go over completely done, so I started messing around and testing the second. Then, although I didn't even touch the first one, it started falling apart when boxes were pushed up it. How is this happening? Help.

It seems to me that the closer your get your walkways to being perfectly straight, the better.

It'd be really nice if they would let you just draw one line and then automatically segment it for you.

I went back later and tried 16 again, and didn't have a problem with it. I don't think I did anything much different. One thing I've noticed is that you don't always get the same results with the same bridge. If you toggle back and forth between the design and test views without changing anything in the design, the results will change if your bridge is borderline. Sometimes it'll hold, sometimes it won't. I'm on 21 or 22 now.

Oh, but that would be too easy, now wouldn't it?

I keep walking away and coming back to it, and it's basically eaten my Sunday.
