Topic: Springs in GameSalad

In 1660 Robert Hooke invented the watch spring so that people didn’t have to rely on pendulum clocks to tell time. In so doing, he came up with Hooke’s Law – the law of springiness. Then he got mad and had a big fight with Isaac Newton over who invented gravity so everybody decided to forget about him. But they couldn’t forget his law of elasticity! Now Hooke’s law is used everywhere! This presentation will show how to use Hooke’s Law to make your actors come alive with elasticity. You will see how to make buttons jiggle like Jello, sliders move like they’re attached to rubber bands, and the camera shake like an earthquake. (Hooke was really into earthquakes!)

We might even see a demonstration on how to make a bobble-head doll! (Hooke would be so proud!)

Notes on location:

GameSalad is located on the 2nd floor of building 2.
