Train
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:00 am
I was hoping to create a train set which is similar to Hornby, whereby you can create you own set with the pieces supplied. I created a version before, but all was forgotten as I stopped using Algodoo for a while as I got a new computer. Now I have a new one with Algodoo again, I have decided to create one which, as a group, we can develop the track for. I will create the basic track pieces with points etc. but I would like some help to create the layout, train carriages and any new ideas such as stations or new points.
The trains will be mostly without collide groups, although the wheels will collide, and the trains will have bumpers which collide with other trains and "traffic lights".
One thing which will be implemented, which I think it is important to say, is that there will be 2 train types: Fast and Slow. The trains will NOT be able to go backwards, but will be able to stop and go forwards. There will be 10 trains, operated by the numpad number keys (probably): 5 fast and 5 slow.
Please respond if you would be interested in helping me, or even if you would just like to play/create your own track when the demo is created. I may also post a competition to create a track.
I will post the track pieces, and the basic train chassis if there is any interest.
The basic kit for creating trains or points etc. is here!! I would like some traffic lights which are thyme based and stop trains when the points are incorrect. BUT I am rubbish at thyme :S
