Cells

Is it possible with physics objects so that when the collide, they connect to each other, preferably connecting into each other forming a new shape? Imagine red blood cells gelling together...

Yep, check under actions for "create hinge".

yes, if you need the hinge to not be a hinge that moves, but just they get stuck together

hinge object a with object b
then 
hinge object b with objecta[/code:3q3avccv]
this will make them stuck together like one big object

if you're really intent on it looking crazy, you could add something graphical that happens to make them gel, either a distort map thing, or an in between sprite there just to make the gel area look just right, 
but yeah hinges connect,

Sweet thanks guys, havn't worked out how to do hinges at the moment looking for a tutorial now. Good tip about using effects to gel them together!

no tutorial on hinges specifically.

pretty simple stuff

heres a quick tutorial

start a new cap

make 2 sprites

put physics behavior on both

make sprite1 immovable(on the properties for the physics behavior)

put sprite1 in the center of the layout

put sprite2 to the right of it, and leave a decent space between

in your event sheet, make one event

start-of-layout

then add one action. sprite2, under physics tab

create hinge to sprite1

run the cap

you'll get the idea

if you do a hinge in both directions the hinges fuse the two objects together and no longer rotate like hinges

If you want to make them "look" more gel-like, you could always check out some of Quazi's "Quazi-Blob(tm)" examples in the uploads and creations sections, or you can download my LAVA example made using Quazi's Quazi-Blob(tm) technology.
