A little play / 03

Little Tower.

Twelve blocks. Endless little possibilities.

NO SCORE. NO RUSH.
Setting the blocks…

Drag a block. See what happens.

Drag around the blocks to look around. Pinch to zoom.
Pull a block free, then lift it to build something new.

Touch, mouse & keyboard

Drag a block along its length to pull it out. Once clear, keep dragging to move it freely. Release your finger to let go. For a little help stacking, select a loose block and choose Lift to top. Drag it over the tower, turn it, then choose Let go. The placement ring is a guide, not a guarantee of balance.

Each new tower has tiny differences in block thickness, surface shape and grip. Some blocks slip more easily; others carry more of the stack.

Pinch with two fingers to zoom; use a mouse wheel or trackpad on desktop. Keyboard: focus the playground. Tab selects the controls; N cycles blocks. Arrow keys pull the selected block; in placement mode they move it across the top. L lifts, R turns, Space releases. A / D rotate the view. + / − zoom; 0 restores the view. Escape releases a held block. Blocks are simulated locally; refreshing starts a new tower.

Real-time rigid-body physics with gravity, friction and collisions. A playful approximation of wooden blocks, not an engineering model.
