What did you think when TwoBit Circus asked you to build a giant version of the CubeRinth? Were you excited? Nervous?Īt first I was really excited that we would get to make the CubeRinth Maximus, but also that TwoBit Circus actually wanted us to build it: something we had created. Brent was really excited about the creativity and ingenuity behind the CubeRinth and asked if we would be interested in making a supersized version of the CubeRinth for them. How did TwoBit Circus find out about the CubeRinth?Īt Maker Faire Bay Area this past May we introduced the CubeRinth Maze Kits, and while there, we had the opportunity to meet Two Bit’s CEO, Brent Bushnell. Use rubber bands to create different maze configurations in the smaller CubeRinthĪgain, with the encouragement of many in the Make community, we asked ourselves, could we make the CubeRinth into a kit that anyone could build and play with? We now have the CubeRinth kits! The CubeRinth was born: a three-dimensional acrylic cube with removable peg board shelves. While working on V2.0 we wondered if it would be possible to make a 3D version that worked in the same way as the 2D versions. With V2.0, I was introduced further to the world of Arduino and coding by our mentor Erin Kennedy from. With the MakeyRinth V2.0, we kicked it up a notch and created a super-sized version with a 64-LED matrix, which scrolled text. The game can be played by two to four people, and is customizable.
Having been inspired by a video presentation during Maker Camp on their concept of super-sizing games, we decided to super-size the labyrinth idea by making the MakeyRinth V1.0, which was made using a simple 24-by-24-inch piece of plywood, a pegboard, wood pegs and rubber bands, which were used to create your own mazes. During the games week, one of the projects to build was a Labyrinth out of scrap pieces of wood. Julie Hudy encouraged us to participate in Maker Camp. We were introduced to the world of making after meeting Joey and Julie Hudy at a local Maker Fest event. The idea for the CubeRinth began when we participated in an online camp called Maker Camp. Where did you get the idea for the CubeRinth?
Then, the user rotates the cube over and navigates the ball back through new mazes to the top again! There are a total of eight mazes within the cube to play.
The game is played by dropping a marble in at the top, playing the bottom maze, and entering the goal. Using pegs and rubber bands, players can create an infinite number of maze combinations on the five pegboards enclosed in the in the acrylic cube. The CubeRinth is a three-dimensional acrylic cube with removable pegboard shelves. the rope is a physics joint and a rope sprite repeated like 30 times if that makes sense i just followed the "game maker rope physics" tutorial.Could you tell us a little about the CubeRinth? How does it work, how do you play it, and how do you win?
#Alternatives to contraption maker how to
i cant seem how to find the end of the rope object. I guess now im just wondering how to draw a second joint at the end of the rope after i attach it to the first object to be able to attach it to a second object. any leads in the right direction would be appreciated.ĮDIT: So i figured out how to draw the rope then be able to attach it and detach it from the object. i've looked around and seen a few tutorials about fixtures and joints and that seems like what I'm looking for but I'm not sure where to start. ideally i would want to be able to click and hold on one object and drag and release over another object and have the rope connect the two together and have it be somewhat realistic looking. I'm working on a little physics puzzler game similar to Contraption Maker/Fantastic Contraption (my first project not following a tutorial, and things actually feel like they're starting to click ) i want to have a system where i can have rope/wire to connect different things together, like a battery to a motor to a fan etc.
