Okay, so what do you think I am?

Suggestion: Explain what this is, and how to use it. Maybe show an example of what can be done with it. Thanks!

You can get rid of that thin black rectangle that surrounds the meme's face like this: Right click anywhere on the rectangle (box). Then move your cursor to "Appearance", and then the edit box panel will open. Slide your cursor over to the edit box panel and then move to about the middle of the panel and uncheck the checkbox labeled "Draw borders". After unchecking that checkbox, save the scene and upload it Algobox. Now no one will see that unsightly ring around the meme's face!

My response: That's quite a presumption considering the fact that we humans know very little about the Universe beyond our own very tiny solar system. We are nothing more than a speck of dust floating around in an infinitely large container that we call the Universe.

Don't worry.... You and your scenes continue to impress the heck out me! There is only a small group of users here on Algobox, including you and s_noonan, who are obviously very smart and talented people and who I often learn new things from. I am an "older" man who fell in love with science when I was a child, and that love will continue until the day I transition into "whatever it is". Please keep publishing those awesome scenes of yours!

Thanks!

What exactly is this?

You wanna go back where?

Why did you title the scene hghghghghghghhhghghghghghg?

Bummer.... I thought I was going to see an actual Impact Force Test.

If interested, here is a scene that I posted back in 2019 that detects and names objects via two different methods.... Laser beam and collision.

Geometry Detectors

Suggestion: When creating a scene that makes no sense to have clouds floating by (like this scene), disable the clouds. You do that by right-click anywhere on the background, then uncheck the "draw clouds" checkbox. Then save the scene.

It's an abstract nightmare!

Reply: OMG! What is that secret step? If you tell me what it is, I promise on a stack of Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies that I won't divulge it to anyone!

No one builds things like I do!

Anyhow, I just gave you a friendly suggestion. It's up to you what you do with it.

Thanks!

This is actually an updated version of an older scene with a similar title (Don't bother looking for it because I deleted it). After re-reading my text in that older scene I concluded that it was rather confusing and ambiguous, and so I deleted that older one and posted this one. There always has been, and there still is a lot of confusion about using other people's work in your own scenes, and so I hope that this scene makes the rule somewhat less ambiguous.

I wonder how many people will Google "ambiguous"!

Quote Little: "I am one of those people who let others use my stuff with credit"

Reply: That's great, Little, but looking through some of your recent scenes I didn't notice any mention of that. So, I suggest in every future scene that you provide a statement in the scene description such as: "You may use all or parts of this scene as long as you credit me in your scene description."

BUT, even with a statement like that there still could be an issue if YOU copied someone else's work without permission and then another person copied the thing that you copied! That actually happens a lot here on Algobox!

@Little -- FYI user Ascil has been banned from Algobox for Rules violations. Ordering other users to stop posting Numberblocks projects is just one of many.

I was thinking if this could work IRL, but I quickly concluded NO it cannot for a number of reasons. One reason is the fact that the wheels trade off making contact with the road. The rumbling sound and vibration would be intolerable, especially at higher speeds.

Yo, NO.

D'oH! I find myself saying that after uploading nearly every scene because I invariably soon realize that I forgot to correct a bug or I forgot to add something that I intended to add. D'oh!

Q: Consider this scene as a blueprint for making an electric car using a starter motor, batteries, gears, and any extra half wheels you have lying around.

A: I would not use a "starter motor" because they are designed to produce high torque at relatively low RPM which means that they draw a LOT of current over a relatively short time period. A starter motor might work in a "dragster" application but not in a car intended to be used for long sight-seeing trips.


More: A good "controllable" motor for a pleasure-cruiser application would be a brushless DC motor with matching electronic speed/torque controller. Certain motors can also provide regenerative braking that helps to charge the battery during coasting and braking.

Thanks for the detail about that message in the scene in which he gives credit to the user that he copied items from. BUT, giving credit is NOT the same thing as getting permission! Take a look at my recent scene that explains the difference:

Giving Credit!

Hey LAK -- You should look at dates before leaving a comment for any scene. For example, this particular scene was uploaded nearly ten years ago in 2017, and the last comment before yours was posted in 2020! So, don't be surprised if you never get a response from anyone.
