I used to play a game called "Bridge Builder" back in the Windows 2000 days. Nice memories! It was a bit advanced I guess, because it shows you the stress level of any part of the bridge by changing the color from green to red during stress test.

[@edwardkenyon3962]

“Anyone can build a bridge but only an engineer can barely build a bridge”

I feel like they should add a mode where it: A) has to be repeatable, so have the car go across and complete it and without resetting the bridge another one has to cross. B) The cars must survive and that includes not flipping over.

7:45 it's not to slow the car down for less force exactly, it's to stop the car long enough for the minibus to get across first, meaning one vehicle crossing at a time so less weight at a time on the whole structure.

[@vicelcia9470]

my guy literally says the same. "less force on the bridge" is equal by definition to "less weight at a time on the whole structure" lol. you just rephrased it in another way.

[@ReyosBlackwood]

@@vicelcia9470 they imply the force has to do with the speed, and there are some smaller force concerns that may come into play with the effect that block had on acceleration of the car, along with the car pushing the block. Weight is afterall a measure of one specific force that would be involved (perhaps the only one that matters, i dont know how the physics was coded in that game)

[@vicelcia9470]
