Algodoo

An explanation of what this scene does or what it's about would be helpful.

there is one?

added input labeling, but I did think whatever I did prior to that was sufficient

Well, it's your scene, and as long as it doesn't violate any rules, you can do what you want with it. I was only making a suggestion to explain what this scene is about. So far, you haven't explained anything about it. You only showed what keys to press to make the gears go forward and backward. That doesn't say anything about what an "additive mechanism" is or does. I see gears turning and I see some pretty colors. That doesn't mean anything to me.

so it turns out this is something called a "differential"

One year later....


Oh, now I understand what it is. Thanks.

you're welcome hehe

also how do you find responses so quickly

I subscribe to the scene. When anyone leaves a comment, or if the scene gets edited, I get an alert at the top of the page that says "New Messages". All that only works if you do not use the Algodoo built-in browser which is very limited. Just use a standard browser like FireFox or Edge. Go directly to Algobox and sign-in with your username and password. You will be much happier than when you used that Algodoo browser.

I'm currently reading this through the webpage algobox browser lol
