Well I was thinking... Ever heard of btd6? There's a cool thing that allows you to detect if bloons are in a range, and then activates an ability if true. It unfortunately is pay-only, but there's a mod that allows you to get those with out having to pay. Could you make a computer with them? Or at least something kind of interesting? it would accept bloons as an input, and then output some thing like an amount of bloons or some money.

6:50 and 7:18 that’s cool that you got just the right vibration to cause an inverted pendulum phenomenon. This is a real physical phenomenon, not just a physics engine bug (I don’t think).
I imagine the car breaks at NaN shock value because the gametick likely unsafely references it with gravity calculations (I assume even when the car is in air for bouncy wheels? idk not a car guy). If speed is zero or NaN the tick for the motor has no reason to be initialized so the NaN won't be called and break things. Glitchy physics is fun as long as you have sufficient error handling, which this game seems to have considering how strangely you can get things to interact. Edit: I tested and sure enough NaN truly functions as NaN and prevents gravity from initializing for an object. Meaning you can set mass and shock to NaN and your car will only float (due to non-existent gravity) instead of immediately splash into the water below (due to broken gravity) . That alone isn't super useful but if you know the physics engine well enough I imagine NaN logic can do additional fun things?
@@grande1900 The only issue is it violates the law of conservation of energy. Where does the "flying road" get it's energy from? And even if we follow that logic through and calculate all the forces acting on everything, then in theory at some point, all forces should cancel out. But of course, Poly Bridge don't care about the laws of physics. :P
I’d like to see some campaign levels beat with different boat bridges. Perhaps mini kraken driven boats to clear some levels. Thanks for making something really interesting Reid Captain.
I think this is a bit more of a "engine" than a full blown kraken drive . . but it is equaly glitchy and unpredictable also . why would a kraken be in a small calm water body ??? . . . I think it's more of an otherworldy drive than anything
”This whole thing is really weird" Ah, let me make a flying boat in a bridge building game using a glitch, this will be something that acts consistent.
I cant account for the glitches but some of the oddball physics is real. The road jutting straing out is a real phenomenon when you reciprocate things. You might expect it to follow gravity and rotate around its cg but it can stabilize in the direction of the reciprocation and defy gravity.
Started following you recently and only watching the bridge games. Don't play them either but I find it so cool. I've been rooting for your boat dreams! And am excited to see an episode dedicated to it
Ah yes, classic "start a dumb project in a video game then get completly baffled by a bug you discovered while trying to mess with the physica engine to work with you" This happened to me while i was doing a sentry dystem in a game called mindustry and ended up making a drone with nuclear capabilities
I think I know why the circle works, Each piece uses its own center of gravity to boost it. It's why when you added the slight line, it added more center of gravity imbalance, making it go faster. Nonsense beats nonsense!
I think the easiest vehicle that you can make in Polebrige the helicopter because sometimes the wheels make stuff fly maybe you can use the wheels to make a whole helicopter fly
@Reid Captain, I don't know if you were informed of who the original discoverer of the glitch was from, but I would like to let you know that you've done some interesting work with my invention.
you can literally make a Zeppelin Airship in Poly Bridge 2 using that method, it already flies like one, lol. im curious as to your opinion on that idea of mine
As always, what else do you guys want to see? I do actually read all of the replies, so nothing will go unseen!
Make a plane/jet/helicopter
Make a missile in besiege, a big one.
Make a bridge in besiege that can attack/win levels 🥸
I think you have to use that glitch to make a plane that actually goes up
Play that destruction game where you destruct houses and do someting domestic with thusters (like a super car or idk)

I think an pseudo-airship with the wobble engine would be interesting.
Tries to build a plane: *the structure falls into the water*

To be honest I always thought the water was nothing more than a texture. I didn't think it was interactable in any way
Things move slower in the water, which is really handy for taming large mechanisms

Inverted pendulums self stabilize irl if shaken correctly, so you are right
I am really impressed how you were able to tame this beast of jankiness and make something useable
“Today I’m going to make a boat.”
*proceeds to build a violently undulating horror*
Make an adjustable car cannon, so you can shoot cars at their flags, instead of building bridges.
That's a great idea! ^^

Thought the car shattered like glass when you set shock multiplier to NaN

So... my explanation to why the glitch works:
> _Arglin has left the chat._
Arglin I saw your video too.
You both do a great job.
the road that starts the flying transfers it's momentum to the adjacent road, and that one transfers to the next and so on.

9:00 FNAF just got so much more terrifying
I love that instead of making a boat you made a blimp that you forced into being a boat
I like how we go from engine powered paddles to a fucking jellyfish powered boat.

Messing with glitches is weird, like:
add weights → makes the whole thing lighter!

the moment is finally here
i can't believe it

Maybe you could make a hot air balloon with the glitch wheels
5:25 this is what happened to your legs when you having a cramp
this fr gives me nostalgia

You became the very thing you swore to destroy
8:24 I think it looks like a cable car, and you should use this for another video

Me- thats a crab what are you on
This is more of a blimp than a boat, the mechanism.
One of those “waddling” toys sounds nice

Tries to build a boat, instead builds a blimp
How engineer explaining complex mechanism:
I love how when the boat sinked it looked like it just gave up
The boat looks like the demon face at the end of Slaughterhouse in Geometry Dash.

Amazing ;D so chaotic i love it man ggs

Yep I have a few planned, should have one out in a week or two depending on when my finals are
I think you managed to make the Flying Spaghetti Monster at one point.
The boat! It iggle jiggles!
You better play bad piggies, this architecture is very simple on leading-edge mod bp

Feels more like you made a dirigible, and are forcing it to be a boat.
You remind me of drunkshinobi from a Charborg vid super good at poly bridge bridge making
This is a game about building bridges, and he’s building boats… out of bridges
7:40 speed boat 😂
Maybe it's also possible to skip "stones" on the water..
