Algodoo

I'll take that as a "Thank You".

No one has asked for a fan before otherwise we would have had them sooner!

No need to apologize! Most Algodoo users don't have any idea how to create animations. Your animation is actually quite good for your second time making one!

I don't know what could cause that. My suggestion would be to reset your Algodoo, or download a fresh version of it from the website. See if that fixes it.

Why 48 lasers? I was able to do the same thing with only one laser.

No problem. Over time you will learn better ways of doing things with Thyme script. I didn't learn it over night either. It took me many years of learning little tricks and better ways of doing things by seeing what other people have done. You will no doubt become good at it if you continue using it and learning from others.

Just curious... Instead of uploading a new scene, why don't you simply EDIT the broken scene? If you do that, then you won't have two scenes on Algobox, one broken one and one fixed one.

An explanation of what this scene does or what it's about would be helpful.

You said: "this was designed to prevent prank pulls"

How would that prevent a prank if the prankster knows that they need to push the lever in after pulling it out?

Yum... Tastes good!

Well, it's your scene, and as long as it doesn't violate any rules, you can do what you want with it. I was only making a suggestion to explain what this scene is about. So far, you haven't explained anything about it. You only showed what keys to press to make the gears go forward and backward. That doesn't say anything about what an "additive mechanism" is or does. I see gears turning and I see some pretty colors. That doesn't mean anything to me.

There are a few problems with this scene:

1. The red flag is glued to the background. So, instead of the flag raising and lowering, it stays in one spot and the mailbox rotates! You can fix that by selecting the red flag, then open the Edit menu. Then hover your cursor on "Geometry actions". Then click on "Loosen". After you do that, you must now do the opposite with the mailbox. Select the mailbox body (not the lid), then open the Edit menu and hover down to "Geometry actions". Click on "Glue to background"

2. Your instruction to lower flag with L key is wrong. You actually have the B key selected to lower the flag!

Let me know here in the comments if you need some more help with this.

Good job!

Nicely done! It rivals some of the commercially available schematic drawing tools. I haven't spent a lot of time with it, but so far I found it easy to learn and to use.

Google it.

No. I am not a robot. I have to eat, sleep, and do other things that normal humans do. Why do you ask?

Congratulations!

You are not "disabled"! You just have different abilities than other people. Never put yourself down for what you don't have, but rather celebrate the things that you have! For example, you seem (to me) to be much more gifted than most people who use Algodoo and Algobox. Your abilities are truly impressive!

Gilbert07 -- Helium (atomic number 2) should have TWO protons and TWO neutrons. Your scene shows only one of each.

The airplane in your scene is a Cessna-172, not a Cessna-150. A 150 model has only 2 seats in the front. A 172 model has 4 seats... 2 in front and 2 in the rear.

Nicely done!

I got pretty far along the track, but beyond a certain point, the track becomes nearly impossible!

(unless I cheat by adjusting a few parameters! )

Nicely done!

You might also try playing around with added weights to offset the center of mass. Maybe more weight on the front portion of the car?

That's what I love about Algodoo. You can experiment with different things in order to make your gadget do what you want it to do and you don't have to worry about breaking anything like you would in the real world!

Thank you, Sir!

Reply: Heck, no one needs a steering wheel. Extra things like that just seem to get in the way when running from the police at 140 MPH!

sVz1 -- It works for me. And I tried it on my desk-top computer as well as on my phone and I had not problem with it. Are you using the Algodoo built-in browser for reading and writing comments? If so, then that is likely the problem. Try using a standard Internet browser like Chrome or FireFox for reading and writing comments.

That's how I drive my real car every day.... by using a lot of pause+undo's to get where I'm going!

I accidentally clicked on a number to the left of the color swatches and the number background became colored with the recently selected color!

Except for that minor glitch, the scene appears to function as expected. Nicely done.

The instructions background also changes color when clicked on after selecting a color.

I fixed that by moving the numbers and the instructions to layer-1 along with the horse image.
