Algodoo

Ummm... I don't get it. When I start Algodoo, nothing happens. Nothing turns or moves. I discovered that I can give one or more of those circles a spin with the drag tool, but the scene doesn't make any sense. Can you give some instructions about how this scene is supposed to be used, and what it all means? I understand electronic components (resistors, capacitors, transistors, etc) but nothing in this scene looks like or operates like any of those things.

Thanks

I think Unity falsely interpreted the use of rotation as "current", and created these components to transfer this "current"(rotation). In other words: This scene has circle gears and a gear train including a transmission, plus a gear rack as an actuator.

That kind of confusion seems to be consistent throughout UnityDogGaming04's scenes. I intend no insults or verbal attacks toward him. I am just stating a fact that, in my opinion, most of his scenes make little sense, and they are difficult to interpret. This particular scene is no different. And each time that I left a comment with a suggestion or a question, he NEVER responds with his own comments. Maybe he thinks he is so smart that he doesn't need or want any suggestions from others.

I love suggestions, Xray! It's just that I am not on algodoo that much. I'm sorry if I sound arrogant at all. I do believe I am pretty smart, but I avoid bragging about it. Recently I switched from online school to public school and i haven't had much time to read or respond to messages. I hope you understand.

And a little about the scene: Now i'm no eletrician, but what i tried to demonstrate in the scene is an analogy to electricity: Angular momentum. The components in the scene come with labels to the left. The battery component has a lot of angular inertia, so it can be used as a decent energy container, such that energy can be put in and taken out. The wire simply acts as a conductor, along with the Intersector, but the intersector inverts the current and outputs it on all sides. the (de)amplifier can exchance current for amps and vice versa. the actuator simply turns rotational energy to linear kinetic energy.

Well, your scenes are certainly a lot more interesting than those childish marble camps and those Algosathlons (or whatever the heck they are called) which flood Algobox on a daily basis. Your concept of showing voltage as angular momentum is unusual and a little difficult for me to understand because I do have a good understanding of traditional electrical theory, which is quite different. But, I give you a thumbs-up for this unique idea!

Thanks for understanding, Xray! And I do agree, marble races and camps do get annoying. Like one wasn't enough? I do think I should mention on scenes like this one where I adress a topic I dont fully understand that I am not experienced in the subject. Anyway, thanks for the communication.

algicosathlons are the equivalent of fortnite. Also I might update these parts right now.

They've now been updated. I made an LED, Laser, Laser Refractor, DC<>AC Converter, Solar Cell and generic frame block. I am open to other suggestions too!

I am anticipating an idea for a transistor, but I haven't made a design quite yet. I am waiting for the inspiration for it, which is what I usually do.

It is possible to code this without any scene.my vars, but I don't think you could have done it in 2019

ScienceSimulations - No, not with my knowledge at that time. I could update it now, but meh.

yeah
