Algodoo

Now all fixed.

Hmm, you are correct. When I did a factory reset on Algodoo it failed to draw the cube. Working on it now...

Found it, fixed it. There was one scene.my variable missing after the reset and one actual bug that my Algodoo was apparently ignoring until the reset. It was an actual bug that should have caused an error no matter what. Wasn't doing it before the reset. Strange.

Thanx for the report.

Nice job! This must have taken many hours over many days to do.

I noticed one glitch.... The left arrow that moves the camera look at position doesn't seem to work.

In my laptop doesn't appear anything, I get only 1 fps.

Edit: Now it works! resetting helped, but stillreally difficult to see with my laptop, because it has a lot of lag.

My "3D phyramid" is nothing in comparison with this scene. G8!

I did it just to see if it could be done. But, as I say in the Author's notes, the better question might have been should it be done. It does mostly what I want it to do, but is it useful, no, due to the lag. With a single spinning cube, i can hold 10 fps and a nice smooth rotation. Anything more than one cube and fps drops off quick. I have done everything I can do streamline the code and make it as efficient as possible, there is just a LOT of math to be done for each rendered frame and Algodoo was never intended to do that via the interpreted scripting language. The inability to modify individual array elements also slows it down because I have to constantly rebuild arrays instead of modifying existing ones. The limited ability to do recursion meant I had to use a horribly slow sorting routine. There are extra calls to routines to do things that would normally be built into the language.

Ok, there is one use I can see. If you wanted a stationary 3D object in a scene, you could use this to render it with the desired lighting and view, then copy the resulting polygons and paste them in the other scene. For that purpose, it would work (after you rearrange the ZDepth of the incorrectly placed polygons of course).

There are some glitches in 3d engine but the work you did is just amaizing.
I'm very happy - we have another algodoo thyme maniac. That pushing me forward to make something crazy)))) 10.

Nice work!

Suggestion: Occasionally, the Algdoo GUI will pop up tool bars when clicking on objects in a scene. Add this code to "upadate" in any one geometry, and that will fix the problem: app.gui.playMode = sim.running

In case you didn't know (but I'm sure you did) update executes code even when sim is not running.

Try this and I think you will like it. I use it in nearly every scene that I make which requires clicking on items in the scene. It also prevents accidental moving of item if the user happens to have the move tool selected. This will force the grab tool.

WHOA!!!!!!

3D in 2D hehe..
