      I will enter
      if time permits;
      But only if Willy plays
      and not merely sits.

          I'm not a poet, but I'll have a try.
          If this model wins, then thats really bad,
          I only spent five minutes, if you ask why.
          But in it goes, a winner might be had...

          And in plain English: This is a very crude model, but there has to be a first contestant in every competition, so let's get this going!

          By the way, why is this in the components requests forum?

              The strangest thing happens when you press play in sketchy physics: All the gumdrops flip upside down, save for the ones on the left of the roof. Then ALL the roof ones fall through the roof. though I know why that happens, I cant figure out why almost all of them invert, and even more so, why not all of them do that.

                It was my stupid idea to create the "Requests" as a main forum and the CMS forums as subforums under it. We'll shortly change this.

                  LOL 😆... So the reason that the gumdrops fall is that I created them as the sketchy physics capsule creating tool, and then copied them after flattening and enlarging their bases. The reason that they invert is that their collision geometry doesn't change when you mirror (flip along ___ axis) groups. I still don't get why you even thought to play sketchy physics on it though.

                    I thought I would hit play because I saw that the ground wasn't much more than the default floor object created with SP. First thing I noticed actually. So off went my mouse hunting for the play button and sure enough the gumdrops flipped.

                        A contribution We will make
                        To help you with your cookies or cake

                        His name is Jerry
                        And oh is he very
                        Good with small sweets
                        Like kiwi strawberry

                        His work is well known
                        A confection contractor
                        He even appeared
                        One night on Fear Factor

                        He is strong, well mannered
                        And so very handy
                        With his pretzel hammer
                        And tools made of candy

                        For cutting and sawing
                        Not hemming and hawing
                        For help with a ladder
                        Or ‘corn ceiling splatter

                        You simply cannot go wrong
                        With his skill’d gingerbread

                        If you copy him back
                        Name that new one Steve
                        Just keep a tight eye
                        ‘Cause he likes to leave

                        Copy one to the front

                        He was lovingly made
                        Out of two big marshmallows

                        He’s not that much help
                        As you will find out
                        Lest you melt him down
                        And use him for grout

                        Have fun with your houses
                        As much as you can
                        Just try not to eat up
                        Our gingerbread man

                              So our judging will be fair

                                    My model sits large,
                                    and moves like a barge,
                                    But I added the link,
                                    'cause I don't want to fink;
                                    It's certainly not tasty,
                                    since completed all hasty,
                                    And the pieces sublime,
                                    are not much of mine.

                                    But post it I do,
