Algodoo

I like your new dashboard. It's really cool!

batbearben -- I think he used the word "odd" to mean "unusual" rather than to mean the numeric segment count.

It's clever but definitely unusual. I would not want to wake up to that kind of clock in my bedroom!

Could you please explain what's happening in the scene? I have a good understanding of the old style television system (here in the USA) but, except for the satellite, I don't understand what your scene is showing. Thanks.

What is that yellow ball that keeps popping up?

Quote: "Now that I'm out of school (forever)."

No way! Someone as smart as you are will surely want to further your education. Before you mentioned your age in an older comment, I thought that you were a young adult (maybe mid 20's)! Your sentence structure, grammar, and spelling are quite superior to most high school age kids. I see a future for you as an engineer (maybe mechanical?). I hope you don't waste your young years by doing nothing productive. You are very smart and creative, so put that talent to good use!

(NO EXCUSES!)

Oh, GOOD!

Oh, of course!

I did!

Quote: "I don't have huge confidence in my engineering skills"

Silly girl! Of course you don't have engineering skills! That's what college is for!

This is just one example, but there are a few others. Load the scene and look at the word SCORE. I made it to have a 3D effect.

Rock Paper Scissors

Just a reminder for future reference.... There are over 216 thousand scenes in the Algobox archive. So, you should never say things like "no one has used this" or "no one has ever done this" or anything like that. Unless, of course, you actually looked at all 216 thousand scenes to confirm what you are claiming!

There are some scenes that alter water properties in Algodoo and the water properties remain the way that the scene made it! So, if your water does weird things try resetting Algodoo. You do that by clicking on "Options" (the little white gear just to the right of "File" in the upper left corner of Algodoo). Then way over on the right side of the Options page you will see the tab labeled "Reset". Click on Reset and follow instructions for resetting Algodoo. That should fix your water issues (until some other nasty scene messes it up again!).

jacklohloh1_9399 -- Why did you report this scene as having gore and also comment "i like it"? Are you the kind of person who likes to cause trouble and at the same time act innocent?

alphabetlorefan2023 -- You don't need to write "don't report pls" because gore in a scene is not against the rules (depending on the kind of gore). There are thousands of scenes in the Algobox archive and many hundreds of them display some gore. If certain kinds of gore are too extreme in my opinion, then yes they will get deleted and the user will be warned or banned. So, it's best to not depict any gore at all.

Xray, Algobox Admin

You are welcome.

By the way... No, I am not a savior but I am happy I was able to help you.

Wow, nice job! You are very talented.

The only thing I didn't like in the game was the fact that I had a lot of trouble getting my spaceship to move in the correct direction. If it starts to spin, then forget it! It's like that old arcade game called "Computer Space". You had to rotate the spaceship to steer it, and then give it proper thrust. It was amazing technology in the early 1970's and because of that, people had trouble learning how to control it. Other than that, you did a great job on the scene.

Very clever puzzle! Nice work.

Note: It's difficult for me because I'm not very good at recognizing world map shapes.

Question: Do any of the rectangular sections need to rotate in order to solve the puzzle?

Nice improvement to the player spaceship!

If anyone is interested, this is a link to a YT video that shows an old arcade game from 1971 called Computer Space: video on youtube

The game had horrible low-resolution graphics (compared to today's graphics) but to those of us who played the game back then, it was amazing. The electronic circuit boards in the machine were mostly analog. There were no computers or microprocessors. How do I know that? I owned my own Computer Space arcade game that my boss gave to me when it no longer made any money at the bowling alley where it was installed.

Suggestion: Provide a "Solve Puzzle" button for the frustrated players like me!

Note: I assumed it was a map of some sort. Silly me for assuming that!

Lots of headaches.

I did not spell "make" wrong. It's called a "typo". That happened because I failed to proof-read my text before publishing it. It also happens when I write stuff at 2:00AM when I should be sleeping.

There's also another typo in that text that you missed! See if you could find it.

Yes, it was “ithe”.

Concerning your "undo" issue.... The only thing I can think of that may be the problem is that you clicked the UNDO button too many times. The first click did the UNDO but then the second click undid loading the entire scene. I know that that's possible because I have accidentally done that on a couple of my own scenes.

Here is what I always do especially when working on a large or complex scene....
Let's say I'm working on a scene I want to call "TESTER". After making any changes or additions I will of course save the scene with the name "TESTER". Also, after I have made 3 or 4 saves with the name TESTER, I will also save the scene with an added 2 after the name. So it will also be saved as TESTER2. That way if something happens that destroys my project under the name TESTER I will always have a backup version with the name TESTER2.

Were the things I said about your issue with "undo" helpful?

@Valen -- What are you talking about? What do you mean by "aspects of cotton?

bubblestheblob -- You should contact user "Little". She is very good at building and coding computer systems with Algodoo.

I like how you did that! Nice job!
