Algodoo

Question: Is it legal and ethical to steal a car as long as you place a sign on it that clearly states: "Credit to the owner of this car"....? Well, I think you know the answer to that question. The point that I'm trying to make is, it's NOT okay to steal scenes or parts of scenes from someone else simply because you wrote: "Credit to the owner of the ragdoll module I used." Credit means nothing at all if you don't have permission. The Algodoo Rules state that you must ask for and receive PERMISSION to use another person's items. If you do not receive that permission, then NO, it's not okay to use another person's stuff. Don't be lazy. Make your own ragdolls or whatever. Okay?

Yes, I understand. Beside that, what do you think of the scene?

Well, to be honest, I cannot figure out how to use it based on your instructions. For example, you wrote "Name goes here" with an arrow that points where the name goes. I dragged one of the names (Alex) from your list right over to where the arrow is pointing, but then WHAT? How does the name get transferred to the ragdoll? I don't see any script that will do that! It's all very confusing.

Look, it's my first time ding these types of like create your own like scene worlds, so.. yeah, im only 11, I dont have much of a noggin in there. Y'know, the name describes who they are, and they dont even tell who they are or what they're personalities are in Hangar. Is confusing, I understand.

I'm also not much of a coder, yeah, dont expect this to be so bad, ugh, what am i doing! I'm such a horrible person! Im not going to be popular at all! ;(

No problem. Learning Algodoo is like learning anything else. You need to learn the basics, then over time, you will start to learn more advanced techniques.
If interested, I suggest that you check out the Algodoo FORUM, especially the heading called "Thyme Scripting". When you learn how to write script, then your Algodoo scenes will be even more amazing than they can be without it. If you would like to see the scenes that I have posted over the years (since about 2012) then click on my user name. You will see all of my scenes which include many games. I even duplicated some of the old arcade games like Pacman and a few others. You can learn a lot by seeing how other people have done certain things!

Going onto the forum, and it says im logged out, even though im logged in, i know my password and it says its not right. Help!

You do not need to log-in to the Forum if you just want to read or download stuff. You only need to log-in if you want to post anything such as comments or scenes. By the way, the Algodoo Forum uses a separate log-in from Algobox. So, your Algobox log-in name and password probably won't work unless you registered it. You might need to register a new name and password if you have trouble logging in.

One quick question, you know the Wii? Im trying to make a functional Mii Channel in algodoo. Only, problem is that i want to make functional buttons. Such as skin tone, eyes, mouth, hair, etc.. I want them to change color when chosen and dont have to manually have to put them on the character. If you can help, I'll be glad that you can!

Sure, I'm glad to help occasionally, but please understand that I cannot spend many hours "teaching" you how to write Thyme script. If you have an occasional question about how to do something, I'll do my best to answer them. If you ask something that I don't know the answer to, I'll be honest with you and say "I don't know" and then I may suggest some alternate source of knowledge.

You can contact me by leaving a comment on any one of my recent scenes, or this one. I subscribe to all of my scenes so that I get notified whenever someone leaves a comment, and I subscribed to this scene because I commented. You can do that too if you didn't already know about that.
