Flexible object effect ideas?

[glass22]

Hello,

 

For a game I'm making I need to have flexible tubes that are moveable.

 

Think http://exhaustpartsuk.com/images/categories/Stainless_flexible_tube.jpg so it's fully flexable and players would beable to move a handle on the ends of middle, to change where the object goes.

 

Does anyone know of any framework, library or function that would give this effect?

No one?

Has anyone seen anything like this in a game? wondering if JavaScript can do it.

I guess in Pixi exaples you can find something that could be a good start. For example here:

You can also use a physics engine, like box2d (http://www.box2dflash.org/ look the bridge example), PhysicsJS (http://wellcaffeinated.net/PhysicsJS/), VerletJS (http://subprotocol.com/verlet-js/examples/shapes.html)..

 

.. or you can implement your own system. If you keep it simple and are pragmatic, you can end with something enough for your purpose. (https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/work-and-energy/hookes-law/v/intro-to-springs-and-hooke-s-law)
