As such, I made my game free for 3 days, until August 3rd.

Are you ready to have fun ... doing Math?
MathFall is a new and exciting puzzle game which combines the fast-paced gameplay of the classic Breakout arcade game with simple Math operations. It's a totally new gaming experience made just for your IOS device!
Use your paddle to bounce the ball on triangles and through numbers and get the number on the ball close to zero. Each level has an unique challenge, and, with the random level generator, the fun continues even after you complete the 20 levels already created for you!
Once you play this game, you will never look at arithmetic in the same way. Power-ups that might help ... or not, and levels that change while you play will always keep you guessing what's coming next. Can you reach the supreme rank of Math Genius?
Features:
Twenty fast and furious levels designed to entertain and challenge you.
Random level generator for never ending fun.
A style of gameplay that is both intuitive and unpredictable. You can replay levels to increase your total score and ranking.
Power-ups with more advanced Math: fractions and roots.
You don't have to be a PhD to become ... the Math Genius! Description:

I'm doing the last round of testing on the levels I created, and debugging the random level generator (infinite gameplay, yeah!)
My friend David will draw some nice sprites to replace my sometimes efforts.

In real life, Lego blocks are 3d. But what about when you see them on a computer screen?

What can I say, I am dexterous :)
You can create some geometry in Salome, for instance, mesh it, and the solve it with OpenFOAM, as outlined in these tutorials.
CAELinux can run from a DVD, in a partition or in a Virtual Machine.
Definitely worth checking it out, after all, what will it cost you? ;)
Check out a brief but comprehensive setup tutorial here!

3D Modeling and Animation:K-3D
Enjoy!
First program I tried is Phun (http://www.phunland.com/wiki/Home), of which I might have written before. With a slick interface and many features, Phun is indeed fun. You can create a machine that you control using the keyboard, which was the goal I had set to. However, the 2D design made it impossible to simulate certain aspects of the robot.
So I went back to Google and started looking for a 3D alternative. And I found Golems (http://www.golemgame.com/) . Golems actually provides the user with many components useful for robotic design, such as sensors. I was able to build and run the robot in Golems. The CAD part lacks some features, such as tapering of objects already created, or user-defined polygons, so the robot has a lot corners sticking out. But in essence, Golems has delivered what I needed.
Try both and have fun! (sorry for the lack of links, my computer is a little messed up)
I'm working on the random level generator. Infinte gameplay :)
