I am pleased to slyly hint that I *may* (or rather almost certainly) be working on a fullscale game based off of my Gravity engine
As it would have it, I'm currently enrolled in a physics class (that I not too surprisingly find easy), but which happens to be taught by a professor who is into these kinds of things. So if he gives the thumbs-up to a project starring his likeness, on the basis of modeling *questionable* physics, this game might see some general release onto TDC.
I've already roughly beat my engine with my belt off to the point it now includes full gravitational handling for any projectile or NPC, not just the player, enemies that crawl along the perimeter of any object, some really complicated variable jumping effects (calculating the force to give the exact same jumping height when gravity is so variable is... complicated), among other things. Its quite neat to see my little professor character throw a bowling ball in one direction around a planetoid, and have it exert a certain 'newtons third law', propelling him backwards
Physics help a lot in kliking. As does coordinate geometry
I learned a hell lot of math trying to get good scores for college applications and stuff. Turns out that it helps a lot. 4 years ago, I spent like 3 days trying to test out formulas, coding programs to test them, etc. I bought one of those nifty graphing calculators and now it only takes me half an hour to put together one of those formulas, with the graphic calculator showing the full result of those tests I would do.
So yeah, it saves a lot of time

TI-83 is my graphing calculator of choice. thats the first thing i ever started programming on, cause it has its own BASIC programming language built in.
Yup, got myself the TI-84. I don't really program in it coz I could find out how to do inputs, but it's good for testing out formulas
That calculator is damn near impossible to find here. It was hidden in the dark recesses of the biggest bookstore in the country, lol. I bought the only model.

haha input you just use the :input *variable*
variables are A-Z. kinda gay theres only 26 places to store data
to get a keystroke its :getKey -> *variable*
