I made a few modifications to lololoer's Radar simulation scene just to show him a few ways that it can be improved. I changed the following:

1. I changed the laser "maxRays" from 1000 to 1. That had the biggest effect by reducing all of the reflections that caused the radar beam to look random instead of rotating smoothly.

2. I slowed down the rotation rate.

3. I changed how the images blank out after a couple of seconds. Originally the density of each image circle would go to zero after a few seconds. A better way is to change the "timeToLive" value from infinity to 3 seconds.

Now the images change normally when the scanned objects get moved.

Hope you like these changes, lololoer, and maybe you will want to use some or all of them! :)

Just save the image into your computer, for example, save it on the desktop.
Now just open algodoo, create a box, circle, geometry... or whatever and drag the image over the geometry. (from desktop to algodoo's window and over the geometry)

Lucnan - lololoer is correct but I wanted to add one important thing (actually TWO things)....

1. Check the file size of the image that you save. If it's very large (more than a few hundred KB) then you should run it through an image editing program (such as PaintShop Pro, or Photo Shop, etc) and reduce the file size.

2. Make sure that the file TYPE is either .jpg, or .png, or .gif.

You can drag the image into Algodoo, as lololoer suggested, or you can save it in the Algodoo/textures directory and access it through the edit menu of the geometry that you want the texture to show on.

Hope this helps!
