Larry Da Vinci

Sack Thing, you have returned to the Popit Academy for more of my insightfully insightful insights.

Larry Da Vinci

Want to know about bolts? Let's kick off with a gander at your most basic bolt.

Larry Da Vinci

Bolts can be used to attach two materials together, and then rotate around the bolt's connection point. Nifty hey?

Larry Da Vinci

Put your POPIT CURSOR over a bolt and press the MENU BUTTON to open its tweak menu.

Larry Da Vinci

You'd be wise to consider the STRENGTH of your bolts.

Larry Da Vinci

If they're too strong they won't rotate very well.

Larry Da Vinci

Ho, ho, ho! You're a dyed in the wool creator you, squire!

Larry Da Vinci

Motor bolts are ideal for crossing large areas of water in a short amount of time.

Larry Da Vinci

No, no, no, no, wait, that's motor boats.

Larry Da Vinci

MOTOR BOLTS are bolts that have a built in motor.

Larry Da Vinci

Ha, ha, ha… get with the program Da Vinci!

Larry Da Vinci

Let's look at MOTOR BOLTS.

Larry Da Vinci

By far the greatest of MOTOR BOLT tweaks are SPEED and DIRECTION.

Larry Da Vinci

Give them a whirl and you'll be able to solve these puzzles!

Larry Da Vinci

The next bolt I want to talk about will rock the Imagisphere!

Larry Da Vinci

Well, wobble it a bit, at least.

Larry Da Vinci

WOBBLE BOLTS cause your creations to, er… well, for want of a better word, wobble.

Larry Da Vinci

Some cool tweaks here, oh yes!

Larry Da Vinci

The ROTATION tweak sets how much it will rotate.

Larry Da Vinci

Then there's the ANGLE setting. This tells the WOBBLE BOLT what should be the center of its wobble.

Larry Da Vinci

There's oodles of fun to be had with the TIME settings.

Larry Da Vinci

You use these to make the WOBBLE BOLT move faster or slower.

Larry Da Vinci

You can even put a pause at the end of each rotation too.

Larry Da Vinci

There's a lot to take in and you'll make mistakes along the way. It's nature.

Larry Da Vinci

Just undo them by pressing the LEFT BUTTON.

Larry Da Vinci

And then you can UNPAUSE the game by pressing the UP BUTTON.

Larry Da Vinci

Okay my star pupil, it's time for you to add some bolts of your own.

Larry Da Vinci

First, select the object with the POPIT CURSOR and move it into position using the LEFT STICK.

Larry Da Vinci

Select the BOLT from the TOOLS BAG.

Larry Da Vinci

Move the BOLT using the LEFT STICK and attach it to the desired material using the ACTION BUTTON.

Larry Da Vinci

This will then bolt the material to the back wall.

Larry Da Vinci

Excellent work! Really really excellent work!
