Algodoo

Works well. Took me a few minutes to figure out that it was mouse controlled (I was pressing all the arrow keys). Was slightly slow on my computer so I increased the speed.

What do you think would be the limitations? I suspect sealing and the gears would be limiting factors. I like the idea that it has few parts and is a compact design.

Thanks for the feedback. Machining is not a problem in Algodoo land. If you use the grid to make a box, it is the correct size, parallelism, squareness, and flatness to better than a micron.

2 Kilinich: Thanks for the feedback. You saved me and maybe others some time trying to do what you have already done. I gave your scene a 10 now that I know the thought and effort that went into making it (and also the fact that it works well).

Interesting. Fun to watch. I tried yellow circles with red 0.1 sec tracers. Does not load in Phun for me.

Well done? I'm your first subscriber.

If I had a car like this, I could drive on the highway in reverse gear and keep up with the other cars.

Nice solution to a difficult task.

Great idea. Well done.

I know the answer, but cheated. You could state the probability of getting the correct message. Somehow, I can't Cite Or remEmber the right answer. If users get tired of pulling the chain they can make a chain pulling mechanism.

Well done, but runs slow on my PC.

Regarding reading the script, you can unzip the .phz file using an unzip utility and then read the whole file in Wordpad or Notepad. Another way is to save the file with a .phn extension and the read (and edit) it with Wordpad or Notepad.

Good concept, but not new. This has been used in crash cars for quite a while.

Great idea.

Also dissect scenes that have scripting to find out how they work. Kilinich scenes are usually good examples.

2 kamikaze6900,

Scene made with Algodoo v2.02 b3. I suspect that the clip will not be formed correctly in some earlier versions.

2 Christer,

Good idea but the scene runs slow on my PC, mainly because of all the hinges in the wire for the paper clip. If the scene ran a little faster I would consider installing a wire feed and wire cutoff.

Maybe second fastest:

World's Fastest Spring Engine Car!

Looks deceptively simple, but its going to take me a while to decipher the script.

Looked at the code and the xFor function threw me for a loop until I realized it was a "For" loop. Nice coding. I can see that your xFor loop goes beyond the limitations of the standard loop.

I guess the next step is to start doing claymation animations.

Your car goes faster with higher Sim.frequency.

In Algodoo, press "F10", enter "Sim.Frequency = 200",press "Enter", press "F10". Default is 100. Sim.Frequency is the time steps per second. You can also try a large value like 1000.

Very effective.

There are 957 scenes with tanks, 226 rifles, 167 grenades, 46 cannons, and only 5 car bombs.

Some people may consider this a terrorist scene, but soldiers and armies are the real terrorists, with the U.S. Military topping the list.

Totally amazing. I added it to my favorites.

Well Done!

Nice work. Very strong.

I delete the screw and redraw it for each angular increment. I use a function I wrote called Scene.my.drawScrew(D, P, L, Rot); where D = screw diameter, P = screw pitch, L = screw length, and Rot = screw rotation. You can create a screw from the console by entering this function with some values (for example, "Scene.my.drawScrew(0.375, 0.0625, 1.00, 1.57)"). You can see the function code by entering "Scene.my.drawScrew".

Nice. I initially tried selecting the numbers before I realized they were tracers.

Well done. Works well and is moderately challenging. I completed them all and it says that I won, but I'm not sure what I won. Please send the prize money to me in the mail.
