Bridge Constructor Playground

This is much better than the original Bridge Constructor as there is no financial constraint stopping you from completing a bridge if you happen go over budget. You still get credit for completing the bridge, but don't get the "Piggy Bank Award" badge until you can build within allotted costs, so you have much more freedom to do your own thing and tinker with your creations to collect all the badges--if you want to be a perfectionist. It's a pretty cute, fun and educational game that can teach a lot about forces, loads, etc. and is great for kids who are interested in building things--like bridges! You can test your bridges with lightweight cars as well as heavier trucks, and get an extra gold "Safe for Trucks" badge if they can support the trucks. The bridge elements turn color to show amount of loading and the failures can be quite comical! This is my favorite of the series, followed by the trains version. If you've ever taken a course in "Static and Deformable Solids", this is a lot more fun!
