Structural Destruction
Structures fail for a reason.
A graph-based gameplay system that creates readable building collapses by tracking foundations, load paths, material capacity, and progressive structural failure.

Under the hood
The decisions behind the build.
Progressive failure
Load redistribution moves pieces through stable, strained, critical, failing, and broken states.
Physics handoff
Only unsupported connected regions are released as controlled physics assemblies.
Performance
Affected graph regions recalculate at a controlled rate while stable sections remain anchored.
What I built
- Designed the structural graph, support-path solver, and load redistribution model.
- Built progressive failure states, material-specific behavior, damage tools, and physics handoff.
- Created live stress visualization, structural inspection, procedural test structures, and full rebuild tooling.
