If you search here on Algobox for the word "Geneva" approximately 37 scenes will pop up in the list of results. Most of those scenes are titled either "Geneva Mechanism" or "Geneva Drive". The two names refer to the same type of device. The most recent scene before mine was created by user ophicleide, and that scene is what inspired me to make my own version of the Geneva. My intention was not to create a better Geneva drive than his (I apologize if I used the wrong pronoun) but rather to create one that looks and operates differently than his and most others. I wanted to try to make one that kinda looks 3D'ish but that wasn't easy to do because Algodoo was designed to be a 2D physics simulation app.

If anyone wants to copy, improve, and upload my Geneva Drive scene please feel free to do so. I don't care what you do with it as long as you promise not to make a marble race out of it. :lol:

Geneva, CH. Home to chocolate which can end wars

Xray

Yes, Swiss chocolate is awesome, but I hope they can end the many wars that are currently destroying so many lives on a daily basis. War is stupid, senseless, and nothing good ever comes from it.

I saw the version you made this scene with - it's Algodoov 2.2.4. :lol:

I actually still use v2.10 however. My Algodoo is fine the way it is :lol:

Sorry about the typo.

Xray

whatvaheck -- Suggestion: Rather than writing another comment in order to apologize for making a typo, why not simply EDIT the typo? Here's how... Just click on the little yellow pencil & blue paper in the upper-right corner of your comment that has a typo. When the Edit panel opens with your comment, correct what needs to be corrected then save it to Algobox. DONE! You will never need to apologize again for making a typo! Just remember one important thing.... You cannot edit your comment if you use the Algodoo built-in browser. You have to use a standard browser like Chrome, FireFox, or any other common browser. And you must be signed in to Algobox with your username and password.

Thanks, Xray! I don't really use the browser a lot, but I'm still happy you taught me this.

I'm also logged in the browser and I definitely saw the pen icon.

brane_benz -- Please explain what you mean. Is there something you don't like about my scene?

When i us the brush tool to merge 2 objects:

Expectation:
The objects merge.

Reality:
Algodoo crashes.

I know this happened some times before, and now 2.2.4 fixed many crashes that can happen with the brush tool. But now it's happening again, and i don't know how to fix it.

Xray

@Danga -- I tried many different ways to make the brush tool crash Algodoo and was unsuccessful. So, it might be an issue with your device such as memory, processor speed, operating system, etc. I don't know what else it could be. Sorry.

You can try logging in to the Algodoo Forum and ask for help there. Unfortunately, very few people use the Forum. It was very active when early versions of Algodoo were released between 2009 and 2014. Maybe you'll get lucky if someone from Algoryx sees your post and responds to it. If you never used the Forum, just remember that you cannot login with your Algobox username and password without registering. You have to register in the Forum if you haven't already done that. Algobox and the Algodoo Forum are separate, but you can register the same username "DANGA" (recommended) and password if you want to.

okay i already found an alternate thing that may not always work, but it's a stable alternate

Xray

2025/11/04 17:49:37

Would you mind sharing what that alternate thing is? It might be helpful to other users who have the same problem.

DANGA

2025/11/04 20:35:18

it's very easy. right-click (or left-click if the button to click is right-click, or double-click on a laptop without a mouse), then on that edit thing, go to combine shapes -> add.

DANGA

2025/11/04 20:35:38

it literally has the same effect but you may need to delete a few objects

Brane_benz -- No problem! We are all human (I think) which makes us all somewhat irrational in our own ways.

Advice from an old wise man: Be irrational all you want to, but never, ever, hurt or harm anyone else with your behavior.

"(i think)" is probably the most human thing ever, to be unsure of yourself is human and that tells me that you are human.

on scripting what is the difference between =, ==, and :=

Xray

2025/11/10 03:27:16

A single equal sign is used in either of two ways: 1. In an equation (A=A*B for example) 2. To store something in a variable (scene.my.Speed = 45.5 for example).

Two equal signs are used to compare two variables or values to determine if they are equal (varA == varB ? {do this if equal}:{do this if not equal}

There are other math symbols besides the equal sign that you can learn about in the Algodoo Forum. Go to "Thyme Scripting" and read the first couple of entries that explain about Thyme variables and symbols.

my god you hate war, but you liked my Algo-Phun wars figure.

Xray

reactorcoremakeroffical -- What does "god" have to do with anything? :huh:

By the way, a person can hate war but still admire some things that are used during war such as machinery, vehicles, aircraft, and many other things. There is nothing unusual about that.

In fact, there are many amazing products that we use every day that were invented during war, and because of war! Those products might not have been invented if some countries did not try to destroy each other. That's not to say that we humans are not capable of inventing amazing products without going to war! Heck no! I can certainly still hate war while enjoying my flight across the country in a jet airplane that was developed during the Second World War because we needed jet airplanes during war!
