Next Version Ideas / Wishlist

I don't have any requests that haven't been made before, but my priorities are:
1) movable points in the editor. (This should allow some struts to be made illegally long - you just have to move the other end before you can test the bridge.)
2) pin joints
3) tensioned cables
4) slow onset of gravity (or some other solution to get to steady state without breaking links due to dynamic effects. E.g. you could treat finding the equilibrium bridge position as a set of simultaneous equations (acceleration at all points is zero). In any case, bridge links should be infinitely strong during the settling process - once settled, they acquire normal strength (and, if the bridge is not strong enough, it abruptly collapses.)

My L3 bridge is very similar to yours - but instead of the vertical struts going nowhere, I had one cable on each side (i.e. asymmetric) from the anchor to the central support.

I'm more than a little late for joining this discussion, but:

s3 16741.
This is a 'wet' bridge.

I've replicated the records for levels 1, 2 and 6, but I'm generally having troubles getting even close on the rest.
