The drawn body participates in the physics simulation - Allow quick simulation and correction of an unsuccessful shape. - [Crayon Physics Deluxe](https://store.steampowered.com/app/26900/) ## How it works The form turns into a body or structure that participates in the simulation. ## Variants ### Variants and applications - Materialization of the contour. Rule: Transform the drawn shape into a physical body and use it to solve the problem. Criterion: Simulation result. Example status: With example. - Drawing a bridge. Rule: Create a support that will withstand the movement of an object through a gap. Criterion: Strength and maneuverability. Example status: Design pattern. - Drawing a slope. Rule: Define an inclined surface that guides movement under the influence of gravity. Criterion: Trajectory. Example status: Design pattern. - Drawing a counterweight. Rule: Create a load of the desired shape and position to move or balance the system. Criterion: Equilibrium. Example status: Design pattern. - Drawing a lever. Rule: Construct a body that transmits force through a support. Criterion: Transfer of force. Example status: Design pattern. - Drawing a wheel. Rule: Create a rotating body suitable for movement or mechanism. Criteria: Rotation and shape. Example status: Design pattern. - Drawing hinges and connections. Rule: Connect bodies into a working mechanism. Criterion: Kinematic connection. Example status: With example. - Drawing a rope. Rule: Create a flexible connection that holds or moves objects. Criteria: Tension and movement. Example status: With example. - Drawing a protective structure. Rule: Build a geometric barrier that will prevent danger from reaching the goal. Criterion: Protection in the simulation. Example status: Design pattern. - Drawing a working form. Rule: Create a hook, blade, wrench or other tool whose functionality depends on geometry. Criterion: Functionality of the form. Example status: Design pattern. - Changing the shape of the controlled body. Rule: Redraw the silhouette of your body or vehicle, changing its collisions and ability to pass obstacles. Criterion: Suitable shape. Example status: Design pattern. - Bringing a drawn creature to life. Rule: Draw the body and its parts from which the game gets a moving or acting creature. Criterion: Behavior of the structure. Example status: Design pattern. - Volume according to the drawn profile. Rule: Draw a contour, which the game turns into a volumetric body for further use. Criterion: The shape of the resulting volume. Example status: Design pattern. ## Context and limits The author's working classification of mechanics in which the player creates or changes an image, line, outline or stroke, and the game uses the result. Does not claim to be a closed universal list. Catalog unit: player action, drawing interpretation and result. Related options are separated when the rule or outcome criterion changes. A design pattern means that the specific game example in that directory is untested; This is not a statement about the primacy, prevalence or absence of such games. ## Connected materials ## Sources and provenance Original editorial design catalog consolidated from project discussions on 2026-10-20.
