Algodoo

Seeing as a lot of people took a look at my previous lock upgrade, I have made good on my promise. This update includes lockpicking tools, an updated colour scheme, a blank key, customisable pins, and some quality upgrades.

On lockpicking: The tension bar is non-functional, and only decorative. It can be interacted with, but seeing as tensioning a lock wouldn't work in Algodoo, it remains functionless. The wave rake pick doesn't really work either, theoretically it could be used but it is unlikely. The hook pick is used when all pins have been cut correctly, and works one pin at a time.You may have to pick it multiple times to open the lock completely.

On key cutting: Using the 8 grid, insert the key blank into the lock completely. Look at where the tip of the pin rests on the key. The sixth pin will be resting in the middle of a square that is located just after the end of the key's slope. From there, each pin rests the same distance away from each other in an alternating pattern of having a pin, and not having a pin. Remember these locations. Then, use the knife tool to cut into the key to whatever depth you wish so long as it lifts the pins slightly from their resting position, with the bottom of the cut matching the width of the end of the pin. From there, make a cut from the edges of the specified cut from the previous step on either side in a 45 degree diagonal cut upward and to either the left or the right, depending of the side of the main cut this new cut is on. This allows the pins to interact with the key easier. Finally, insert the key fully and use the knife tool to cut the gold portion of each pin on the same line as the one that separates the shackle from the lock body. This completes your lock.

I recommend using grid 11 for the final cuts on the pins, to get a cleaner movement of the shackle.

Once again, modification and reuploading is fine, as long as credit for the original design is given.
