I've been postponing this scene for too long so I finally decided to make it! (Surprisingly this wasn't a 4th of july scene (im from the usa), I wanted to make this scene in late May or early June but i just didn't get around to it

)

I am the queen of procrastination... *sigh*

I built a little menu to make basic fireworks and I kind of like it!
The fireworks aren't super adjustable right now, but there are currently 9 parameters to control:

Color - Self explanatory, the color of the rocket and the firework itself!
Stake Color - The color of the stick the firework is mounted on before it ignites.
Particles - The amount of particles for the firework to emit when it detonates!
Particle Speed Multiplier - Controls the speed of the particles emitted by the firework, basically just the size of the firework
Activation Key - The keyboard key that is used to ignite the firework.
Spawn Anchored - Picks whether or not the firework's stake should be glued to the background or not.
Flight Duration - The amount of time the firework stays in the air before exploding
Particle Velocity Spread - The percent of randomness when it comes to particle speed. A value of 0% will cause the firework to explode into a ring, while a value of 100% will cause the firework to explode into a circle with more or less even distribution.
Launch Delay - The amount of time for the firework to wait before flying once ignited. Critical for making firework shows!

I also put a really short little demo firework show in the scene to show off the fireworks.

Have Phun!

HOTFIX: I forgot to glue some of the text boxes to the background, i am one clumsy girl... :bonk:

Should I delete this scene?
I feel like it really isn't that good and the customization is really, really limited so calling this a generator feels like a stretch

Nicely done. Looks good, works well, and easy to use. Feel free to use, copy, or improve any of my AlgoGUI controls.

Excellent job, Little! Your fireworks look just like real ones. :tup:

Well, thank you for saying that!

I'm still disappointed in myself though for not at least incorporating more control over the shapes but I'm just not sure how it would work.
I feel like I would need a dropdown menu or something and i feel like if I'm going to go that far I might as well just build an entire asset library for my visual form creator and... yeah.

I guess the main difficulty for multi-body form components would be making it easy to modify settings for. Each component would have to have its own variable within the form which would have to be manually altered if you wanted to rename the component, which is necessary for having multiple of the same component

I hate having ADHD! :'(

I have wanted to make a sequel scene to this for literal months but still haven't even started because every time i start, i immediately lose interest. )|(

@Little -- I'm not a doctor and I don't usually give out medical advice, but after reading your comment about ADHD it triggered something in my memory that may be helpful to you. I recall reading an article about a link between young people consuming food products that have artificial dyes in them and ADHD. It said that there is a much lower incidence of ADHD in the U.K. than in the U.S. because of the fact that the U.K. has banned all unnatural food dyes in their products. The U.S. government has not banned such products. I don't know where you are located but it might be something for you to look into if interested!

That's actually pretty interesting!

I was diagnosed at a very young age (I wanna say before I was 5?) so I don't think artificial food dyes were the reason, but that is interesting to think about. I've heard that Red-40 is especially bad, but it's used all the time in snacks and drinks here.

I'm pretty sure Red-40 is supposed to exacerbate ADHD too though, plus it's just really not worth the cancer risk. <_<

I only drink water and I don't eat processed snacks because I'm super self conscious about my body (i've been overweight almost my entire life so) and eating/drinking anything like potato chips or soda makes me feel awful for myself

On the bright side though, that means I barely consume any red 40! :lol:

Yeah, lately I have been watching a lot of videos concerning health and diet. Most of them are darn depressing because it seems like EVERYTHING we eat might cause caner, heart disease, or diabetes! The worst foods are what they call "ultra-processed". I too have been a little overweight most of my life, but I'm not obese. I am addicted to that drug we call sugar! Yes, it's true. Sugar is addictive, and some experts claim that it's more addictive than opiates! Most of the time I can say NO to sweets, but not always! :lol:

I have a question I've been wanting to ask Algobox for a while by the way!

Especially here lately the vast majority of what I make on Algodoo is low quality and I just can't think of a way to fit it into a scene, and even if I did it's too low quality for me to feel good about it.

Should I maybe try sharing some of the lower quality/lower effort stuff?
I know UnityDogGaming04, one of my friends, shares pretty much everything she makes on Algodoo. Out of my last 50 phunlets, only 14 were in the algobox, spread across only a few scenes. Out of my last 50 scenes, only 8 of them are published.

At the same time though, I feel like if I start uploading more of what I make then I would basically just be flooding Algobox with garbage. :<

I already feel like the scenes i post (especially the computer scenes and some of my more recent ones) are really low quality and I don't want to pollute Algobox with bad scenes.

UnityDogGaming04 is... um.... uh..... ya know.... a ggggg.... girl? OMG, I think I have addressed her as a guy in some of my comments! I'm embarrassed now. :blush:

I know that you are a woman because you have stated that fact in some of your comments and scene descriptions. In any case, it makes no difference to me what a person's gender is as long as I don't accidentally insult a person by addressing them with the wrong gender. As far as I'm concerned you can be made out of a brick of wood and colored purple with green branches growing out of your head. It just doesn't matter as long as you are a good person. I know that YOU are a good person, Little, because it shows in your scenes and in your comments.

Concerning types of scenes, that doesn't matter either. We want people to have fun here on Algobox and hopefully to become educated. Some scenes are very simple and some are complex. We have no requirement for the types of scenes published here on Algobox as long as they don't violate the rules.

Thank you!
I know in the past on Algobox I was a bit umm... very egotistical and I still feel bad about it

Thank you for saying that by the way! :lol:

Also, yes, Unity is a girl! :lol:
