It is pretty common knowledge that Valve hired on grads from DigiPen who came up with the concept for Portal, called Narbacular Drop.

Talk about a worthwhile investment.

I would have loved to be those grad students. They all got instant jobs with valve. chaching!

Yeah, it kind of makes me depressed to know that I was considering going to DigiPen, and they graduated a year after I would have.

I have a thought What if we could get the physics engine to recongnize certain textures that would cause the portal projectile being shot to ricochet instead of just disappearing.

Just a thought, I dunno anything about coding but if the "power" balls could bounce, why not the projectile?

There is a brush entity called func_portal_bumper, this might bounce portals but I haven't checked it out yet.

All they are doing is tricking the game engine, I am talking about a mod.. where anyone can download it and play it against eachother...

That won't be possible for some time until the full SDK update is made - which according to the Valve programmer mailing list, may be weeks and not days. I'll see if I can dig the email up and post it in the news.
