Cool! But the engine is too weak to use anything above 2nd gear despite having 16 pistons. Oh well, negative damping engines don't have much low end torque anyway.
Yeah, I guess you could call it planetary. But there still not going to replace simple collideSet gearboxes I've found mechanical gearboxes tend to be fragile and not work well at high speed, plus I think 3 speeds is not enough for anything more than a go-kart or motorcycle and I don't think it's possible to make one like this with more than 3 speeds anyway, and also the ratios have to be exactly like they are here, or it won't work.
I might make a collideset gearbox with C-gears to prevent slippage. If it works well I might upload it
I concur with faytree. All marble racing and all other similar activities are COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLCRAP! Algobox was intended as a place for its users to share there creations. You're doing the same, but your creations are utter crap and do nothing but take up a tiny bit of data on Algobox's servers. I also think all people who do marble/Algicosathlon/ect races have absolutely no Algodoo talent whatsoever and simply post their useless crap here because they feel they need to find something they believe they are good at (when there not! ) for other equally talentless idiots to enjoy!
I couldn't care less if this rant gets me banned. Ranting is love. Ranting is life.
But I do have an issue, sometimes instead of being pushed into the chamber the cartridges will get spit out of a little gap between the mag and the barrel because they'll momentarily glitch through the mag, and physics will flip out. I'll give 10 if you fix that!
I'm also on agar.io right now. My current computer runs Algodoo fine but the goddamn mouse is utterly useless so i had to find something less precise to do. Warning, very addictive!
I'd be cool if the MR/Algicosathlon/etc fans stayed but built something worth killing more than 3 seconds for. The users themselves are fine (with a few dishonorable exceptions), so if they'd start making nice stuff like all the actual quality builders here who spend more than 3 minutes working on a scene (ok, I'll admit, I've posted some 3-minute scenes. But it was 3 minutes well spent! ), then we would have more good builders around here!
Just... wow. Your engines are very huge and heavy, but that's the most goddamn awesome ignition system I've ever seen! I tried something similar, but it failed at even 200hz. Great work!
Great! But, when you build another engine, with heavier parts, put two angled boxes at the top of the chamber to 'push' the geom down and give extra power.
Xray - I'm glad to see people are noticing me about my possible solution. I hope it works out!
I'm also seeing a sharp increase in anti-MR/Algicosathlon protest scenes being posted lately. I guess everyone's decided they need the boot all at the same time!
