A cannon that uses 'black powder' to launch a cannon ball, or a different projectile of your choosing. This is pretty much a remake of my old cannon, which I decided to remake because the old one doesn't really work in the current version of algodoo. I think it took about six hours to make, or something like that. I space out while making stuff like this, so I really couldn't tell you how long it took, or even exactly how I made it!
Comes pre-loaded with a cannon ball, so you just have to pull the rope to fire!
How to Operate:
If Unloaded-
Copy pre-grouped powder into the muzzle
Use ram rod to gently shove powder back, stopping at the second marking on the ram rod
After removing ram rod, either copy selected projectile directly into muzzle, or drag coppied ammunition into muzzle (doesn't work so well with grape shot)
Use ram rod to gently shove ammunition into the barrel, stopping at the first marking for a cannon ball --some adjustment to stopping distance may need to be made with different ammunition--
Pull rope to fire
Set to run at 600Hz, so I hope you've got an alright computer, because my computer with a 4790k CPU only runs it at about 15% speed. It might run at a lower frequency, but I'd rather stick to my standard 600 that I know works. If you want to try to go lower, go ahead, but I can't guarantee it'll work.
Thanks for checking it out, and have a nice day!
By the way, just out of curiosity, who would be willing to watch a time-lapse video of me building something like this? If anybody is interested, I might think about giving that a try and posting it on youtube. It kind of seems like a shame that nobody (not even me!) knows exactly how I made this. |
