i want some buddies on this game to compare structures and such. it is a game that you build bridges to get a train across. i kinda have a dream to become a bridge builder/ architect. but i will prob not pursue it, as i am better with computer programming. anyway i would like a couple people to play and compare bridge designs and how strong they are with me. it is a VERY small download...less than one mb. and it is fun if you like the style. download it here..

http://www.bridgebuilder-game.com/]
just go to the left of the page, under bridge building game, hit game info, and at the bottom it says download bridge building game, then if you need tips go to that link on the left.

come on, someone play with me! it is a fun time waster.

hope someone will do this!

thanks, oh and be free to post your favorite online time wasters here too.

yes, triangles are the strongest supports. well since you played it in middle school. play with me, see who can make the strongest bridge on a certain level.

Had to do this back in 8th grade we did it on computer then made the real thing and had to see how much weight it could hold it was def a lot better than reading.

i know it is so addictive!!!
i got through all the levels..they get hard. but just get some tips and try to match level one,

tip 1. triangles are STRONG
tip 2. focus on being symmetrical. that way if one side works. the other one will also.
tip 3. use the stress feature, focus on making red bars stronger.

good luck!

i will show some shots of some of my better bridges as this thread goes along.

click test, now go to progressive, and change the weight and how much is added.

in a progressive test, the train will try to make it, if it does, it adds weight and tries again.

oh yeah, on my pc, you cannot use the number pad on the right of your keyboard to change the weight. you have to use the numbers over your letters on your keyboard.

hope i helped!

post your weight highs!!

i mean without the bridge breaking at all. i can get to like 310,000 but it breaks and the bridge jumps across.

so is that without the bridge breaking in any spots?
