Algodoo

This is awesome! Could be very useful for some scenes. Nice job....

Is it fairly easy and straightforward for the average scripter to edit the data? If not, then my suggestion is to make it so by adding some editing tools which don't require a PhD in computer science for the average person to understand and utilize.

Q: Is it fairly easy and straightforward for the average scripter to edit the data?
A: Maybe. This is how it works:

1. The drop down structure is determined by the _treeList structure.
2. The _treeList structure is a [myName,[child0, child1, ...]] recursive structure.
3. The _commandList structure must match the _treeList structure.
4. The _doCommand executes the _commandList commands.
5. To make your own drop down menu, you need to modify only _treeList, _commandList, and _doCommand.

In answer #2, should that be "Sweet Child O' Mine"? I heard that Axl Rose and lead guitarist Slash are both very recursive.

OOPS, sorry, wrong child. My bad!



Thanks for the detailed explanation.

What is _treeList structure? How does it work?
Is there something about it on forum? If so, link please

Q: What is _treeList structure?
A: It's an Algodoo list structure that can be converted to a tree structure.

Q: How does it work?
A: See Python recursively printing a tree from a list structure.

Q: Is there something about it on forum?
A: Not that I know of.

Compare _treeList to the resulting drop down box structure to see how it works. You can change _treelist and then paste the _treeList list into _commandList if you just want to see how _treeList changes effect the drop down structure (since commands will no longer work unless you redefine them).
