Get with the Program Nodwick All Games Release Dates Developers, freelance press and our staff voted on what we thought were the best games of all time. It's now not only easy, but highly intuitive, being done almost exclusively with the mouse. But it's not impossible. So now, when objects collide or move, they react according to the laws of physics.
Every action causes an equal and opposite reaction and all that.
Everything from people to rocks and trees behaves this way. You can interact with virtually everything on the island, so everything has to have accurate physics. Whether you're doing this for fun or simply to teach your subjects a lesson, things behave exactly as you'd expect. This physics-based accuracy, combined with the speed of the zoom and movement gave the team a chance to put greater detail into every aspect of the map. Some clever coding meant that that it became possible for the world to actually reshape and change itself, depending on what actions you carry out as an all-powerful being, navigating above its surface.
