You are the machine gun operator in the Army's latest Apache helicopter. Your mission is to fly over enemy cities and destroy their strategic targets where they are manufacturing weapons of mass destruction. There are 210 targets that you must hit but you must complete the task with the least number of machine gun rounds fired.

Your machine gun trigger is the Ctrl key. Either the right or left Ctrl key will work.

You can destroy all the targets by holding down the Ctrl key but you will burn through about 1400 rounds if you do that. If you are a super machine gunner, you should be able to destroy all 210 targets while firing only 210 rounds. An impossible task, but see if you can do it!


Update: Reduced lag by making destroyed targets disappear after 10 seconds.

Update_2: The minigun now has recoil. For you guys with a keen eye for guns, yes I know, a minigun does not recoil like some standard military machine guns. A minigun has multiple barrels (7?) that rotate via an electric motor. That keeps the duty cycle of each barrel only one seventh of the duty cycle that a single barrel machine gun would experience and would likely overheat. My minigun in the scene doesn't rotate. It does recoil like a single barrel machine gun, which I think looks pretty cool!

Also, the fire-rate is slightly different than before. Now if you hold the trigger key (Ctrl) down from beginning to end of the game, you would have fired 680 rounds instead of over 1400 rounds! The challenge is still the same: Try to destroy 210 targets with 210 total rounds fired!

Very cool! I did a Huey door gunner game long ago that I just tried to download and run again but it never finished loading and crashes Algodoo while most of my old uploads still work. Im gonna try to mess with it later. I recently retired so I have more time to do algodoo now.
Hey wild bill! Good to hear from you again! Now that you are retired maybe you'll have some free time to make more of your awesome Algodoo scenes! :tup:
The specialist contacted me, I sent screenshots, I described my problem to him. I hope he will figure it out. I hope Google Translate translated everything correctly.:)
Okay, that's great! Thanks for letting me know! :tup:
this is so cool Xray!!!! it makes me feel like i'm in a real helicopter!!!
Hey, thanks Tire Burnout! I appreciate your comment. :*)
Super fun scene, though I wish it could be more challenging like let the minigun have the recoil so the bullets wouldn't fly straight at one direction (either make a specific pattern or make each bullet fly at the random angle)

Reply: Thanks for the suggestion! I'll see what I can do with it.

Comment: Super fun scene, though I wish it could be more challenging.

Reply: Thanks! More challenging? Were you able to destroy 210 targets with only 210 shots? :s

How did you make this!?!? This is the peak of Algodoo!
Q: How did you make this!?!?

A:
1. By learning how to code (previous experience).
2. By learning Algodoo Thyme Script.
3. By being born with a lot of talent (I just had to say that! :lol: )

Comment: This is the peak of Algodoo!

A: Thanks! :tup:
@Xray

Yes, I did manage to (almost) hit all the targets. If I couldn't do it at all I would've said "make it less challenging" instead.

MarioBro1337 -- Got it! Thanks again for the suggestion, and I'll try to find some time to work on it some more. I'm super busy with personal work around my house, so it will probably be a few days if I make any changes to the scene at all.
Wasup Xray ✌️
