This game is COOOOOOL....

The annual Game Developer's Conference is the video gaming industry's premiere venue to strut its stuff and show its new wares. The game that was the talk of the show this year wasn't a shoot-'em-up, or some elaborate game with almost-real graphics and physics models...rather, it was something so simple as to inspire one of those "Duh why didn't I think of that?" moments.

The game appears to have taken on a life of its own, even to the extent of having its own blog here. I'm going to download it and give it a try later today...looks like a great time waster--er, great way to have fun and, uh, study physics. Yeah that's it.

More later (including another chapter in my Flash Fiction story... (C: )...
