Random Nifty Thing: Word-Based Ship Constructor

What an Odd Design…

Thanks muchly to nixon66 on Broken Forum for letting me know about this. There’s this tool called shapeWright.com by Dolf Veenvliet which uses WebGL to make browser-based interactive constructs. One of the tools on the site is a ship constructor which assembles a ship based on the words you give it. Above is the USS Brian Rubin, while below is the USS Space Game Junkie. Nifty huh? Try it out yourself, and enjoy! Edit: Hey guys, I was just informed (thanks Raife) that the tool responds differently to capitalized and lower case letters! Neat!

Now This is More Like It…
