What kind of physics game can I make for a software competition in Visual Basic?

[Sakha]

Hello.
I'm entering to a software competition and I need to create an educative game, so I want to make it with physics.
Anyone have an idea, suggestion or anything on what kind of game I could make.

Thanks in advance

P.S: I'm in 11th and the game is made with Visual Basic

One of the best things that you could do if you are strapped for ideas is look around at other physics games. (I'm not saying to plagiarize them, I'm just saying that you might be inspired by something you see.)

Just look around.

There are many different types of physics games that you could create for a software competition using Visual Basic. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. Puzzle game: You could create a puzzle game that involves using physics principles to solve challenges. For example, you could create a game where the player has to use gravity and momentum to guide a ball through a maze.

2. Platformer: Another option could be to create a platformer game where the player controls a character and must use physics to navigate through levels. This could involve jumping, swinging, and using other physics-based movements to progress.

3. Simulation game: You could also create a simulation game that allows players to experiment with different physics concepts. For example, you could create a game where players can build and test different structures to see how they hold up under different conditions.

4. Racing game: A racing game could also be a fun option for a physics-based game. You could create a game where players have to use physics principles to control their vehicle and navigate through challenging courses.

Remember, the key to creating a successful physics game is to make it both educational and entertaining. Good luck with your competition!
