Algodoo

I was bored today too (which, by the way, rarely ever happens), and that's why I made that silly brain transplant scene!

Hey, faytree... I know that you live in Malaysia, so I was wondering if you've had a chance to visit the PETRONAS Twin Towers? If I ever visit Malaysia, that's the first place that I would like to experience!

Please see my edited comment!....

Just wondering, are your "splatgodoo" people just simple stationary cut-outs, or will they eventually be used in a scene that actually does something (like a game of some sort?). Thanks

OUCH! I NOW HAVE A BLOODY NOSE!

Nice job on the scene and on your board. (You should bore a hole in the board. Then it would be a bored board that got bored!)

Yes, I know. But thanks anyways.

I don't understand what you are trying to show here. For the polygon on the left (Labeled "Glue"), you say to blur the edges and then increase the adhesion. Okay, to what end? Why did you tell us to do that?

Then for the other polygon, you make a statement in the description that sometimes inertiaMultiplier does not show up, but you then say nothing about that in the scene. Can you explain under what conditions will the inertiaMultiplier NOT show up? I would like to duplicate the bug, but you need to give more information.

Also, you do not need to put a one with a lot of zeros in order to enter infinity into any of the variables or events. You only need to enter +inf (or -inf if you want negative infinity).

Thanks

The 3-round burst doesn't seem to work right. It runs in full auto.

Phil, I concur with pnvv. The problem (in my opinion) seems to be the sluggish detent on the mode selector. It doesn't latch into each detent with a crisp, solid "snap".

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Much better! Good job, as usual!

Rather than, n / 100 * 105
Simpler to do n * 1.05


Another suggestion is:
When C key is pressed, the code runs continuously, shrinking the circle's area by 5% many times per second. It is almost impossible to tap the C key to get just one shrink cycle. So, maybe add a little script that will only allow ONE 5% shrink cycle per keypress. User will then be able to see how much things have changed over just one iteration instead of over many.

Other than those picky things, you did a good job on the coding!

Why do you want people to ask you questions?

Did you know that Algobox is not a forum and you should not be using it like a forum? You can go to the REAL Algodoo forum and start a question and answer discussion there, rather than using Algobox for that purpose. Did you know that ALgobox is used for sharing scenes made with Algodoo, and it should not be used like a chat room?

Thanks for your message, Ultragamer564! I appreciate the fact that you will try to be more considerate of other people, and hopefully I will not get any more complaints about you.

Thanks again!

Yes, you can send private messages but it has to be done in the Algodoo FORUM. The forum uses a separate log-in, but you can use the same name and password that you use here on Algobox. Once registered and logged-in to the forum, you can send a private message to any other user who is registered in the forum. Only Admins can send a warning message to any user in Algobox. It's not meant to be used for chatting, only for sending people warning messages.

I hope this answered your question.

I get a lot of complaints from people who say that you are annoying THEM. Unless you want to make enemies, you need to back off and settle down. You keep pushing yourself around here on Algobox and people are getting rather sick of that. I am telling you this for your own good.

Why are you crying?

Wahvu - It is not necessary for you to warn people that my scene is a joke. Most people understand that this scene is a joke because of its absurdity. Currently, there is no such thing as a brain transplant, and especially in the manner in which the man in the video clip is performing it!

pnvv - I sent Ultragamer564 a warning about causing trouble with other people. He is not the Algodoo Police but he feels that he needs to tell people what they can do and what they cannot do. This was his final warning, and he will be banned if he continues with his bad behavior.

Ultragamer564 - Your promise to not post any more comments didn't last very long! I think that you have a need to chat with people, probably because you are lonesome and don't have any real friends. If that's the case, then Algobox is not the best on-line place for you to hang out. Algobox is not a chat room. It's a place where people can share their Algodoo scenes with others. But there is a place attached to this website where people can chat with each other, and that is the Algodoo Forum. I told you about it before, and so I suggest that you at least take a look at it and see what you think. You just might like it better than Algobox because you are free to express your thoughts and opinions there.

This is so cool. I could spend hours playing with this!

The problem that I see with Algobox is the fact that there are essentially two major groups who use it and who want nothing to do with each other. There is the group of serious adults who enjoy making scenes that are technically complex and that employ a lot of math and physics. And there's the group of very young kids who couldn't care less about math and physics but they enjoy the social interactions with other children who use Algodoo for the sole purpose of making marble races and killing colored Algowhateverthon stickmen. (There are of course some people who fall in between those two groups). Adults and small children should never have to play together in the same sandbox, but that's exactly what's happening here in Algobox. If it were up to me, I would separate the website into two groups: 1. Children and new users. 2. Adults and experienced users.

Unfortunately, it's not up to me.

500 scenes per millisecond? THAT'S FUNNY! (Well, actually it's not funny because it's almost true.) But yes, what you said is funny!

@The Linkage -- You stated, "If I was a moderator you'd all be doomed". Well, that's not quite true. I feel the same way as you do, and if it were up to me things on Algobox would be very different than they are now. The problem is, my hands are tied by the powers at Algoryx. I have to moderate this website under their rules and guidelines, which means that I am not allowed to delete every marble race and stickman scene simply because I do not like them. All I can do is to make certain that people don't break the rules that are written in the Algodoo "Terms of Service". I tried a number of times to set my own standards for Algobox, and I was told not to do that. So, being Admin or moderator does not give a person total, unrestricted power here on Algobox. (bummer!)

Ultragamer564 - Be careful what you put in your scenes. This one came very close to being deleted because of the positions of the two stick people that are located behind the message that reads: "NOPE. AVI". There are children like you who use this website and we do not want to corrupt them with "dirty" images. So be careful about what you post. Be warned that those things don't usually slip past me unnoticed!

Thanks

I see a pattern but I don't know what its significance is. Hint?

This is extremely boring to watch for more than a few minutes, but it was nicely done!

faytree - As far as I'm concerned, you definitely fall into the "adult" group.

No, that will not work because water does not have material name like solid objects do.

This is nothing new. We've known about this since 2009 when Phun became Algodoo!

About once every few months someone will discover this for the first time, and they will upload a scene showing water piled up on top of itself, and their description will read "OMG! OMG! OMG! LOOK WHAT THE WATER IS DOING! OMG! OMG! OMG!!!!!!!" They don't bother to do a search to find out if anyone else had noticed this before.
