So, as this first day of raBid development has come to a conclusion, I find I've spent far more of it having fun playing my new mini-game than I did actually feeling like I was making one. And HEY! Check this out, I have a Toy Build for you to play with too...!!
(this is just a screen shot of it though, you'll have to find the attached .zip file)
Takes a second to get used to the controls, it's a fully physics driven movement system, so keep that in mind. You are moving with Thrust, and there WILL be THRUSTERS!! on these super robot boards! I didn't have time to add the THRUSTERS!! to the toy, sorry for that.. Yes, they will be awesome enough to have two exclamation points, and yes even in the middle of a sentence.. So don't worry about it.
Enjoy.
Oh yeah, and if you happen to think about it, I would love feedback on EVERYTHING...
32bit Win Build in zip(Scanned with Kaspersky VirusDesk before upload), I'll probably put up an Android toy too, dunno when yet(tomorrow?). Trying for several platforms here, but I've only got PC and Android that I can test myself, so we'll see how it goes. I may have to borrow an Ipad from somebody.
Anyhow, enough of my rambling, go on, kick the tires!! Hope it doesn't crap out on ya. It works on my dev. machine which has some pretty terrible "graphics hardware".. Easier to keep things mobile-friendly that way though.

I had so much fun, I ended up running to the end of the map.... But I still jumped off!
Good stuff!
