OOPS, sorry! I made the same assumption with "Little" a few months ago until I learned NOT to assume things!
By the way, my previous comment here was back in 2021 when I referred to everyone here on Algobox as a "he". Although the guys greatly outnumber the girls, it's better to stay neutral (non gender) as much as possible or practical.
Nujukumaster7273 -- Okay, kidding aside, WHY is it so important that I comment your scene? A comment from anyone should be voluntary, not begged or forced. If someone likes a particular scene or dislikes a particular scene they will comment their feelings about it. But I'm not going to say something on one of your scenes just because you want me to say something! That doesn't make any sense!
When I initially downloaded and ran this scene, I didn't understand the concept of how this simple mechanism works. But then after playing around with it and understanding what your code does, it now makes perfect sense.
I have one question: Why would someone want to use the crank mechanism on the right side instead of using a rigid horizontal track that the moving component can slide along? A track would be less expensive, require less maintenance, and it would be much less prone to failures.
Interesting. I can see how a "fits all" linear constraint would be a handy mechanism for certain types of scenes, but (not being an M.E. like you) I don't see how that could even be possible. Nice design, though!
s_noonan -- Nothing to do with your scene, I found a very interesting video about very tiny and precise mechanical movement. I thought you would find it interesting too:
Glp1022 -- No worries. Even if a scene does "nothing", as long as it's not a personal message then it should be Okay.
So, what is a personal message, you ask? It's a message used to inform other users about something that you have done, or something that happened in your life, or something you are going to do. Some examples are: "Hey guys, I'm back!", or "I just got a new mouse for my computer!", or "I'll be uploading a brand new marble race soon!", or.... well I think you understand now.
Heliotrope777 -- The thought behind not allowing leaderboards and other lists is, those things are a form of announcements. In other words, a scene with nothing but a list of athletes or scores is no different than a kid posting his school report card bragging about his grades. We don't want Algobox to turn into a social media chat site. We want people to have fun creating scenes with Algodoo and then sharing those scenes on Algobox.
