Algodoo

Хорошо!

As an experiment to see how the stabilizer systems handle it, I varied the RPM of each motor slightly in order to emulate a real-world situation (such as a camera that's mounted on a car which is riding along a badly broken road).

Excellent demo!

nansjes1 - The YouTube link that you gave is not valid. Here is the corrected link:

faytree - You already have a magic rope. Don't you remember it? Faytree's Magic Rope

No, I did not know that. I am smart, but I do not know everything about everything. Thanks!

By the way, I know why the link did not work for me before. It's because when I copied the link and pasted it into my address bar, I must have also copied one of the parentheses which caused the link not to work.

These are parentheses -------> ( )

When you copy the link and include one or both of them along with the link, then the link does not work. Try it!

It's even FASTER than it was before! Rather than slow the scene down you made it faster, which makes it impossible to play the game. As soon as the game starts, the blue box crashes into those pointy things that kill the box. You set the simulation speed to 4X, but it needs to be set to something like 0.5X or slower.

There's a problem with A, S, and D keys. Once the train starts to move in either direction, you cannot stop it or change direction. Other than that, you did a good job on it!

There's a problem with gears 3 and 5. They engage in reverse and they accelerate the motor. Other than that, good job on the scene.

Before I start my car and get ready to drive it, I have to make sure that the wheels are in their zero position, and the crankshaft is at zero degrees, and the car is facing due north, or else the car will travel in a random direction.

No one needs this scene to prove that you can spongify a gear. And it's not a "trick", as you call it. Anyone can place a gear in their scene and then click on "spongify". There is nothing weird or strange about it, and it is just a normal function in Algodoo. In fact, you can spongify just about anything as long as the "spongify" selection shows up in the menu.

Just curious.... What scene did you copy the smoke script from?

The text "Gas, Oil, Water" is backward on the right-hand car. A detail that s_noonan would never allow.

While playing with this scene, I thought of a possible contest that could be made out of it. Have contestants upload their own cars that they made according to your specifications and rules. Post scenes of a tug-of-war between two contestant's cars. The obvious winner of the tug-of-war would then go up against another challenger. Eventually, after a number of tug-of-war scenes have been posted, the unbeaten car will be declared the winner, and the designer of the winning car will have bragging rights. Good idea? Bad idea?

Yeah, good points. So, maybe it's not such a good idea after all unless someone wants to take the time to make a contest (not me), and a good contest requires lots of thought and planning in order to do it right.

Oh well....

That doesn't sound like a trivial task, but if anyone can do it, I believe that YOU can (not that you would WANT to do it!)

Wow, you did it! Good job.

Only one minor glitch that I found (maybe two): When I switch gears to N, the motor gets stuck and will not rotate. Also, while in N, the readout shows a gear ratio of 0.001:1, but of course it should be 0:1. (That might be due to round-off error in the floating point math.)

Anyone who needs to spongify a gear (which is probably never) would see the word "spongify" and they would click on it. You do not need to explain the obvious. But don't worry, I won't delete the scene.

Hello? You there, Lighter?

Explain WHAT better? What is so difficult for you to understand?

Okay, no problem. I was just wondering because I've seen that script before but I could not remember who originally made it. I knew that you did not invent it.

By the way, his username is lucnan (not luncan).

Very nicely done!

Okay, Crazy. Actually, there is one major reason why I like spiders, and that is, they kill FLIES!

The word is "Cutter".

What is the illusion supposed to be?

Nothing new. In fact, newbies often accidentally create this unusual water behavior and they think that they discovered something that no one else has ever seen. Well, it was first discovered back in 2009 when the first versions of Algodoo were released. If you look back through the archives you will find at least 8 or 10 other scenes that show the same effect.

Oh, I get it now. It looks like the spinning thing is moving to the right when you speed it up, but it's actually standing still in one spot. That's a better way to explain it.

Nice illusion!

Why did you post a scene with a url to THIS scene? That doesn't make sense!

This is very disgusting.

You need to change the name so that Algobox will think that it's a different scene. So, if you rename it for example, "Neon Pinball 3.1" then it should upload as a new scene. Try it!

Thanks guys! I appreciate your comments.
