Description Designed by a true rocket scientist, Truss Me helps you learn to design structures while having fun! At each challenge, design structures that are light and strong and you will earn precious golden nuts. Truss Me utilizes state of the art simulation techniques used by aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineers to provide the most realistic behavior for your structures. If well designed, your structures will resist as they would in real life*. If your design has flaws, the structure will fail realistically*! *Truss Me has been created for educational and recreational purposes only. It must not be used under any circumstances to design or compute real structures. ## Truss Me!

Reviews in United States ### ***** "so fun" idk what i’m doing but this is such a good game -- Ahhsaina, 2024-01-24 ### *---- "May be accurate but NOT a game" Simply adding 0-3 "gold nut" ratings as a "scoring" mechanism doesn't make something a game. Let's break this thing down: 1) No instructions. Period. 2) Any kind of GOAL for each stage. First stage? I got 3 gold nuggets! Second stage? One. WHY? Who knows! I used the minimum possible struts with the minimum possible widths. What was I supposed to do? Oh, I got it... Delete this. -- amateur6, 2019-10-03 ### *---- "Are you reading your own reviews?" Look at the moon landing, level 14. Where are the requirements? You supply no directions, no explanations of devices that are added to the structure, no required goal.......... This could be easily added as a main menu. You were asked for this over 2 years ago. -- dave________, 2019-09-15 ### ***-- "Need Directions" I was going to use this with my second graders but there are no directions. Add them please! -- Bzmarion, 2017-02-01 ### ***-- "Great, but..." A really great tool for structural design. By the way, this is not a "game". I use the Truss Me tool to evaluate and compare different truss models. But I'm disappointed that I cannot save any work and, worse, if my iPhone goes to sleep, then all my work disappears. -- HowJan, 2016-11-16 ### ****- "Great fun, but..." This game is serious fun, and I mean that very literally. It's a great idea, it's loads of fun, the 3-star scoring adds replay value, AND it's a seriously great tool for teaching the basics of truss design. If you're embarking on the design of an epic toothpick or dried spaghetti structure, start here! This is the most fun I've had since Cat Physics, the best iPhone game ever. However, after the third level the frustration exceeded the fun. This game DESPERATELY needs snap: Snap to mid-point of rod, snap to straight, 90 (30, 60, 45) degrees, vertical, horizontal, etc.. It's very frustrating trying to slide a node along a rod, looking for the mid-point, trying to keep the rod straight, getting no feedback, and not being able to see what I'm doing because it's all happening underneath my fingertip (#iphone_needs_stylus!). It stops being about truss design and becomes a fight with the user interface. That's not fun, or educational. Also, at some zoom levels it's impossible to straighten a rod with a node in the (approximate) middle of it. Snap would fix that. If I were making a wish list I'd include continuous coordinate/angle readout as I move nodes, and some easy way to make a structure symmetrical. Word balloons when you tap a control, identifying that control, would speed up the learning curve. I really hope this app continues to be developed, because I'm eager to get back to playing it, but without the frustration. -- Jim Travels, 2016-07-06 ### *---- "Camera access? Why?" When you start playing it asks permission to access your camera. I found it weird but allowed it. Game wasn't user friendly and I didn't see reason why it would need my camera at all for this game. No positives. Deleted asap. -- MashkaNYC, 2015-12-22 ### ***** "Fun Game" I enjoy playing this game. -- Joe Marzen, 2015-11-17 ### *---- "Why does this app ask for access to the iPhone camera?" Complicated app. No learning mode. No explanation why one solution is better than another to raise your score. To make matters worse it asked for access to the camera for no reason and with no explanation. That raises a red flag. -- TooManyCards, 2015-03-16 ### *---- "No" Stop spamming reddit. -- ItsMyNickname, 2015-03-16 [View all Truss Me! reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Truss Me!
