Algodoo

Nice game, but it has issues:
1. When the message "Try Again!" shows up, the sim stops running, and it leaves the user wondering, "OK, now what do I do?". It would be nice if you could place a "Reset" or "Restart" button in the game which will either start the game over from the beginning, or will start the sim again, while accumulating points.
2. The "Try again!" message box stays in view and bounces around if I simply restart the sim.
3. How does the player "Win" the game? Do they win when they accumulate a certain number of hp's?

Just a few things to think about!

Thanks for the feedback.
1. I am still looking for the command that resets the simulation. I can add an restart button when I found it.

2. Should be resolved by doing 1.

3. You win by bringing the tiefighters HP to 0 (Red box)

I just noticed another issue: After downloading a fresh game from Algobox, the game begins with red = 20hp and green = 5hp. Is that right?

1. There are a number of ways you can restart an Algodoo scene depending on how complex it is. For simple games you can just set all variables to their initial values and move all moveable objects to a starting position. You can do that with a button if you want, or you can simply tell the player to click the "back step arrow" at the bottom of the scene just to the left of the Algodoo Run/Pause button.

3. Any "How to play" or "How to win" explanations can go in the scene description but it's always better to place them in the actual scene. You can have them disappear when the scene is RUN.

Yes I intended that the enemy has much more HP. It would be to easy if both had the same amount. But I see that it can be confusing. Maybe I give both of them the same amount and tweak the difficulty another way.

Thanks for the suggestions. I´ll see what I can do.

YW!
