I do miss having a clear route to goal for each level. Many of the levels in Armadillo Run drop you off at the proverbial curb and force you to find your own way home. While it is fun to create free-form structures, I would have liked to see some levels focus more the structural stability elements of the gameplay.
This brilliant physics-based puzzle game has the power to turn even the most ardent science hater into a budding Brunel, Eiffel, or Dyson. However addicted you are to slaughter or strategizing AR will seduce you, I guarantee it. The concept is really simple. Each level consists of an inanimate basketball-like armadillo, a blue destination portal and some anchor-points or pre-built structures. Using elements like rope, steel, elastic, and rockets you have to build a device that will get the armadillo to the portal.

Naturally, there's a catch. Every level has its own budget and all the building materials have their own associated costs. The obvious way to solve Level 27 might be to build a gently sloping steel ramp from armadillo to portal, but you haven't been given nearly enough money for that so a more minimal, more imaginative solution must be sought. Level 40 would be a push-over if you had enough cash to construct a rocket-propelled elevator, but the funds provided aren't sufficient so you'll have to experiment with counterweights or an elastic-powered cannon.
Destruction is actually pretty important in the game. Not only can you position and link lengths of metal, fabric, rope, rubber, and elastic anywhere on the screen, you can also adjust their tension, and prime them to snap with miniature explosives. Why on Earth would you want to do a mad thing like that? Well lets say you're planning to move the armadillo across the screen on a home-made swing; you might fix the raised swing onto the end of a platform with a primed steel strut. The charge on the strut would be set to blow once the armadillo had rolled into position. Maybe another charge-released device would snatch the swing with a jolt when it reached the other side, allowing the animal to tumble out and continue on its merry way.
Armadillo Run is a downloadable physics-based puzzle/building game for Windows. Your job is to create structures to safely guide a rolled-up armadillo to the goal. Assemble materials such as sheets of metal, ropes, cloth, elastic and more to create a path across the stage. The physics in Armadillo Run are remarkably accurate, making building (and destroying) things far more entertaining than it should be.
You have a limited budget and each material costs a certain amount of money. Anchor points are placed on each stage so you can attach objects to a stable point and build from there. Some levels have pre-built structures, but some are completely bare. Once you figure out how to get the armadillo to the goal, trim your materials to get the expenditure down to a minimum.
Wow, words cannot describe how addicting this is. I spent about 5 hours on demo and went straight for my hidden cash pile. I purchaced the full game for just a tenner and believe I made a great choice. I must say some things that people made (levels that I downloaded) seemed quite cool. For instance you can make (in full version(in editor)) a anchor point with bars around it. Do that twice, put cloth around it, with a rocket inside the wheel and... tadar. A pully system thing. The creativity of this game makes it uneque. If anyone has full game and has compleated level 31, Hill 2 - can you post an immage or file I can download please - ThankYou.Keep up the site Jay. From K.
Don't have an image to post for you, but for Level 31, I put a metal link on the top of the ramp, cloth links on the sides and top of the armadillo. The side cloth links are connected to the rocket. I have rope connecting the ends of the metal link on the top of the ramp to the ends of the rocket as well.On the other end of the ramp, I have two ropes situated on the two points directly left of the furthest axle point. Connected to the two ropes, I have a metal link hanging below the ramp. From the metal link I have two links of cloth with the second link connecting up the axle point.You may have to adjust the length of some things - I got it to work with only about $2 left on the budget.Good luck.
What the heck are you talking about??????Please tell me what is not fun about using rockets and sprinngs to create a crazy contraption to send a rolled up armadillo through???????? Anyway, even if you do get stuck, it's still fun just to mess around.
Bridge across from left to right low pointsRope down from high point to intersect the middle of the bridge.(cut and rebuild bridge to fix it to the rope)If you do the dimensions right the armadillo should settle in the dip to the right of the rope. If not then just put a sheet up from the right hand point.... etcetc.
some metal bars udner there help...anyways, i got a good...hack sorta...wanna change ur armadillo? i make 4...default, incase i want it back, flag, evil, and naruto...im doing baseball soon...go to My Computer, clik the search icon, search armadillo, and wait til these 2 files come up, they will be next to eachother like this
clik it, right clik and cut the armadillo from it, paste it onto paint, then use paint can and stuff to make it look cool, (optional: save ur armadillo skins , and always have a default one) and paste it bak to the window, clik the save icon, close out, and then do armadillo_blink in the same colors..unless u want him to change everyitme the armadillo blinks...ill come back here to show u guys how to get 2 armadillos ^.^ good for powering 2 wheeled vechiles ^.^woops..i ment vehicles

I'm getting lots of unresolved symbols during compilationUse the CMake installer to install Armadillo as described in the README file.Then link your programs with the armadillo run-time library:g++ prog.cpp -o prog -std=c++11 -O2 -larmadillo
How can I link directly with BLAS and LAPACK without using the Armadillo run-time library ?Define ARMA_DONT_USE_WRAPPER before including the armadillo header.For example:#define ARMA_DONT_USE_WRAPPER#include or, if you're using gcc or clang, you can declare the define directly on the command line:g++ prog.cpp -o prog -std=c++11 -O2 -I /home/blah/armadillo-7.600.2/include -DARMA_DONT_USE_WRAPPER -lopenblasIf you don't have OpenBLAS installed,on Linux change -lopenblas to -lblas -llapackand on macOS change -lopenblas to -framework Accelerate
How can I use Armadillo with OpenBLAS installed in a non-standard location?Unpack the Armadillo tar.xz archive and DO NOT install it using the CMake installer.Compile your programs using:g++ prog.cpp -o prog -O2 -I /home/blah/armadillo-7.600.2/include -DARMA_DONT_USE_WRAPPER -L /home/blah/OpenBLAS-0.3.5 -lopenblasRepalce /home/blah with whatever your home directory is called
Replace /home/blah/OpenBLAS-0.3.5 with the directory name containing the OpenBLAS library
You may also need to tell the system linker where to find the OpenBLAS library (eg. by modifying the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in Linux)
Is automatic SIMD vectorisation supported (eg. SSE2) ?Yes. As of version 3.900, elementary expressions (eg. matrix addition, multiplication by scalar)can be vectorised into SSE2 instructions when using GCC 4.8+ with -O3 optimisation.Same applies to recent versions of the clang compiler.For example, compile your code using:g++ prog.cpp -o prog -O3 -larmadillo To get further speedups(ie. to useAVXinstructions),or to enable SSE2 on 32 bit machines,add the -march=native option.For example:g++ prog.cpp -o prog -O3 -march=native -larmadillo
Is automatic parallelisation (speed up) via OpenMP supported ?Yes. As of version 7.900, computationally expensive element-wise functions(such as exp(), log(), cos(), etc)can be executed in parallel via OpenMP.This is automatically enabled when using a C++11/C++14 compiler which has OpenMP 3.1+ active.For example, compile your code using:g++ prog.cpp -o prog -O3 -larmadillo -std=c++11 -fopenmp
For each challenge, you're given a budget to buy rope, cloth, metal bars, metal sheet, and other components. Then you have to assemble a structure and adjust the tension of the component so that it will successfully deliver a basketball rolled up armadillo to a circular blue portal. The challenges get harder as you progress. The game cost $20, but you can download a 10-level demo version for free. (It's for Windows only.) Link
Armadillo Run seems to me to be a mixture between Alex Austin's BridgeBuilder and Sierra's Incredible Machine. If you like the physics of thegame and can deal with less Rube Goldberg, I strongly suggest the 2006free version of Bridge Builder. I got it from www.crypticsea.com.There are prettier and more complex versions at www.chroniclogic.com.Then there is a whole community built around the Bridge Builder games atwww.bridgebuilder-game.com. Thanks!
Your readers also might like to know that the game's website has a plethora of user-created scenarios, so if they decide to purchase the game they'll have a large quantity of challenging 3rd-party scenarios to choose from after they finish the built-in levels. They'll also have free access to the game's built-in scenario editor so they can create and share their own puzzles. I bought the game a few months ago and I still play it from time to time. There are some extremely challenging puzzles available for download. 2ff7e9595c
