Holy cow! This is awesome! This feature-rich scene is virtually as good as a commercial software product. :tup: :tup: _o_ _o_


Now a couple of suggestions:
1. Gumby is rather light weight, and so when he does certain moves, his body bounces up in the air, and then topples over. I found that increasing the weight of his feet to about 20 KG each, helps to stabilize him. Another possible fix is to hold him to the background with springs, like I did in my dancing aliens scene.

2. The controls are rather complex for a first-time user. Therefore, it would be helpful if you could make a YouTube video that shows how to use all of the control functions.


MORE: I added the following code to onKey in the "Add" box:
keys.isDown("ctrl") ? {
scene.my.recStep = scene.my.recStep + 1;
scene.my.state = "add";
_timeLastHit = sim.time
} : {}

This added code allows me to press the left Ctrl key each time I want to add a step instead of having to move the mouse cursor away from Gumby each time. Adding steps is faster and more convenient this way. :tup:

Xray,

Regarding:

#1. Both ideas in suggestion #1 are good ideas as can be seen in your scenes. Just to be contrary, I used a third method. This gives users who read the comments three possible methods.

#2. The #2 suggestion is good, but I am not a YouTuber. You can make an instruction video, and attach it to your new scene, if you are so inclined.
