jaw-droppin beetle

Go to http://www.wireframe.co.za/beetle/ and play the game.

After you pick your jaw from the floor at the level of detail, explain how they did the car. WOW!

flipping chips! fantastic! thats a very nice little game...the most impressive thing to me is that something that looks so lush has such small files. Like most stuff though it's a seemingly complex system made up of simple elements - not sure what you mean about the car but making it move and respond to the keys isn't that difficult - there's an example here in the movies section (http://www.actionscript.org/showMovie.php?id=202) but then of course you've got to give it inertia to keep it going upwards and do a little take off over the ramps, and put elasticity between the body and the wheels, make it constrained to the path in an isometric landscape etc etc! I echo your wow.
