Algodoo

This is interesting and impressive, but doesn't the Algodoo "Combine Shapes" tool essentially do the same thing? It may take an extra step or two, but no Thyme script is required.

Q: Doesn't the Algodoo "Combine Shapes" tool essentially do the same thing?
A: No, the Algodoo "Combine Shapes" tool does more and does it better.

I was looking into polygon cutting because I wanted something to automatically slice polygons similar to the Laser Angle Cutter scene. If I had that, then I could add it to my FEA Stripper scene which already has horizontal and vertical polygon slicing. Angle slicing was not as easy as I thought. Most of the slices would be OK, but I had problems with angles greater than 2*pi and slices made from the beginning and end of the polygon surface array. Angle slicing might also be applied to thermal FEA or to exploding objects.

Q: Angle slicing might also be applied to thermal FEA or to exploding objects.

A: Wow! Those subjects (especially thermal FEA) are way outside my area of understanding! But, I think it's very cool and impressive that someone (like you) can figure out how to code Thyme Script in order to make those things a reality in Algodoo. WAY COOL!

Thanks.
