This is very cool and innovative. I can definitely see something like this going up on xbox-live arcade.

My thoughts exactly. I love to see this type of innovation in gaming. I just hate that I didn't think of it first! ;)

Wow. That's probably one of the coolest ideas I've ever seen for a puzzle game.

Essentially you calculate the shadows in realtime, from the perspective of the light source. Then you dynamically render the shadows onto the surface. In the Shadow Physics game, he's using this surface as the playing field, rather than the objects themselves.

If you search for "Shadow Projection OpenGL" you'll see plenty of tutorials on how this is done.

Whoa, pretty cool idea. Every time I think the platformer game is dying, projects like this are developed, that assure me the genre is still alive and well.

FYI, that's a MacBook Pro for those who were wondering.
