Algodoo

Okay

I see that you use ignition timing to determine engine rotation direction. That is an interesting concept but it doesn't explain how you handle the timing of fuel/air intake and exhaust gases which are things usually handled via valves and cam shafts. I guess that happens through the unseen magic of Algodoo!

Except for that little detail, you did a good job on the scene.

Thank you! May you have a wonderful and prosperous new year.
Continue learning as much as you can about our awesome universe, and continue spreading peace and kindness everywhere you go, and with every person you meet!

@Prince -- First, you need to unglue the object from the background. Do the following:

Right click on the object, then scroll down to "Geometry Actions" then left click on "Loosen".

Then right click on the object again and scroll down to "controller". A box should pop up. In that box, just under "Geometry Controller" left click on "No directional controller". Those words should change to: "Select input". Next, tap on any of the arrow keys on your keyboard. After you do all that, the geometry that you selected will move up, down, left, or right with the keyboard arrow keys.

You're welcome!

I don't have a set schedule for uploading scenes. It just happens sporadically when I get the urge.

OMG, thanks Little! All this time I thought I had a software bug, and it was those darned beans and pineapple juice!

I would love to be able to visit Athens and see the Acropolis in person, but that will probably never happen.

Anyhow, nice explosion!

Thanks!

The game started out that way but it removed any challenge. I wanted to make a game that would challenge the average gamer. I may add that later as a selectable option.

How were you able to count the beam when it strikes both surfaces of a segment? I tried using e.normal but no matter what I did I could not make it work. So, I ended up using two separate sections per mirror -- One for the front and one for the rear.

Very interesting concept, and I'm sure that it could be useful for certain situations. Nice work!

Hi Luke,
Yes, of course I accept your apology. I was an irresponsible and sometimes foolish 13 year old kid too, and I've done some things that I have been kicking myself for ever since. Now that I'm an "older" man (I won't go into details) I still get embarrassed when I think about those things. But I assure you that I never did anything that was illegal, just DUMB!

Thank you for your candor.

Good ideas! I'll have to play around with them. The nice thing about Algodoo is the fact that there are more ways than one to skin a politician.

Okay. If I ever get the chance to visit Greece, I will look you up and maybe you can show me around some of the amazing structures there! I know that Athens is a beautiful city.

@Karl0z -- Thanks!

Ummm... You begin with the premise that Algodoo physics is "broken". Unfortunately, the issue seems to be that you do not understand how Algodoo works, and you therefore reached the conclusion that something is broken. I suggest that you learn more about how Algodoo works, and then some of the things that you think are mysterious or broken will make sense to you.

No offense but some of the things you stated in the scene do not make sense or are ambiguous. I have been around here for about 12 years, and, at first, some of the things I experienced with Algodoo didn't make sense to me either. But after some time and experience, it all began to make sense!


Oh, by the way... I noticed that this is your first scene that you uploaded, so yeah... you are definitely a "noobie". Don't be so quick to condemn something or make fun of it at least until you can honestly say that you completely understand it.

Yeah, so?

My highest score so far was 23

When I run the simulation nothing happens! What is this scene supposed to do?

You said: "Left arrow to activate." but it's actually the Right arrow that activates it.

Nice job on the scene!

Awesome!

Planets? They look like oatmeal cookies!


Nice job on the collision.

Not crazy at all. It's doing exactly as expected when you set the motor torque and speed of all the axles to some crazy high numbers. Algodoo will do some other seemingly "crazy" things if you make it do those things.

There are many different ways to make fire with Algodoo but they all require Thyme Script. I don't have the time to explain them right now so if you don't mind waiting a while I'll get back to you either later today or tomorrow.

Okay, thanks!

His picture was taken during the Covid pandemic.

Yeah, I thought about making the laser maze much larger with added features and challenges, and I just may do that some time down the road.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Little -- Wait.. I just thought about my comment where I said that I wish I had you as a math teacher when I was in school. I don't know for sure (because I don't know you on a personal level) but when I was in school, you probably weren't born yet!
