Bridge Sugar activity

What is this?

Bridge teaches the basics of mechanical engineering through building a bridge across a ravine. It may sound simple but is actually quite engaging and entertaining. Bridge was the result of the Physics Jam H4X team who won the gold prize for their game development.

How to use?

Bridge is not a part of the Sugar desktop, but can be added. Please refer to;
