Algodoo

hiltropper -- Fascinating scene!

I first learned about colliding objects computing Pi a few years ago when I watched a YouTube video that explained the phenomenon with Billiard balls. There are other unbelievable ways to compute Pi, such as by dropping a needle from above parallel straight lines on paper (Search for "Buffon's Needle" on YT). The dropped needle will land crossing a line versus landing in between two lines Pi times as many! These are just a couple of samples of why I think math and physics are so interesting and amazing.

By the way, I see that it's been a few years since you have posted scenes here on Algobox before this current one. Welcome back! I hope that you will stick around and post more interesting scenes like this one, and like the others that you have posted many years ago. You are very talented and smart!

Thank you!

Yes, and i especially like it when you can recreate such experiments in some way and that's often the moment when Algodoo comes back into my mind.

I guess I will always come back to Algodoo from time to time, since i love its simplicity and capabilities. Of course life changes and you have less time or other things in mind, but eventually you get back to "hobbies" like this at some point. I also have some unfinished scenes laying around, for years in some cases. For example an Engine that is completely calculated (Seilinger cycle) and doesn't rely on algodoos engine so much (like spawn or spring engines), but rather on math. P-V-T equations of state and so on. So from time to time, you will see new scenes made by me
