Ponts

A java bridge building game

This project was made by three students at INSA Lyon for second year computer science class.

In the game, you build your bridge and launch the simulation to see if it will be solid enough for the car to cross it. You can build from 3 different materials (wood, steel and tarmac) with different proprieties, but beware not to exceed the budget. The game includes 10 levels, and a level editor to create even weirder terrains.

Credits

The game uses the JBox2D library for the physics, an open source port of the C++ library Box2D. For the graphics, it relies on Swing with a modern theme provided by the FlatLaf.

The game is heavily inspired by Poly Birdge, a very cool game developed by Dry Cactus.
