iRBS: Rolling Ball Sculpture

iOS iPhone

Everyone loves to watch them, they are simply mesmerizing. RBS is an iOS simulation of a rolling ball sculpture with interactive and non-interactive modes. The sculpture is dynamically created right before your eyes, and never ends. Our exclusive quaternion based engine creates a twisting structure that will amaze, while the overlap detection prevents any criss cross of the track. The ball follows all gravitational physics rolling around the track in a smooth relaxing fashion. Artificial intelligence tilts and rotates the track to automatically keep the ball rolling, while new track is generated.

Once you are totally relaxed, take control. In Game Mode, the sculpture may be dragged around with a virtual spherical control allowing for multi-dimensional manipulation. Orient the track to get the ball rolling downhill, the steeper the track, the faster the ball rolls. Go backwards and the ball turns red, reorient the track to get it going forwards again. Your performance is monitored and may be compared to your friends and/or all Game Center users. Total odometer, trip, top speed, and average speed are all logged, will you be number one? If you can pull yourself away, simply stop interacting with the sculpture and it will revert to AI control.

New! Multi-Ball mode completes the package. Watch the sculpture rotate gracefully with the ball following the track. A simple tap on the sculpture releases additional balls, up to 48 in total. As the balls roll, the track magically creates itself for a never-ending sculpture. Should the first and last balls get too far apart, it will fall off the end, no worries, just add another one.

Enjoy!
