Algodoo

"Rub Goldberg"?

That is not my walker! If you copied it from someone else's scene, it was not mine.

By the way, you need to understand that just saying "Credit to whoever" does not make it Okay to copy and upload another person's work! You first need to ASK PERMISSION from the person who you want to copy stuff from and use to upload in your own scene. Only if they give you permission to use their work, you can then go ahead and use it, and you also should ask them if they want you to give them credit. That's how it's supposed to work. Some idiots say things like "Credit to all" in their scene description thinking that doing that makes it Okay to steal other people's work. Well, it does not, and they can get people very upset if their hard work gets used without permission.

Now please change the wording in this scene where it says that it's my walker. I don't want anyone thinking that piece of crap is mine!

Thanks

Hey, this scene is cool! I don't recall anyone ever doing one like this before.

Suggestion: It would be even cooler if you gave the scene some action. Maybe make the animals and divers swim around a bit.

Question: I see the word "existend" a lot in the scene, but it's not a valid word. Did you mean to say "existing", or something like that?

Good job!

@ivanivanovicpupcin - That's a good suggestion about people putting in their scene description a warning not to copy and upload their work. The problem currently is there are tens of thousands of scenes already published (uploaded) which do not have said warning. That's why I am trying to educate people now about asking permission. Thanks for your comment!

@Ultragamer564 and CubeBag - I know that you both have an argument going on at this time, but the comments section of MY scene is not the place to continue arguing with each other about it. Therefore, I deleted your comments. Thanks

@Aiden H - Because of the fact that Algobox does not have a Private Message system like the forum does, the only way that users can communicate with each other is through scene comments. So, the way to ask permission is to post your request to use their work in one of their latest scene comments section. Hopefully they will see it and respond to you either in that scene comment or in one of your scene comments section. If you have an account on the Algodoo forum, you can try to contact the person through the PM (Private Message) system.

@MrLucasManSwe - I don't know who told you that, but I do not agree with it. If I have spent many long hours developing a complex scene, I would not want to see someone else upload it and not make any comments that it does not belong to him. People will think that he was the one who spent long hours on it, when it was actually ME! I usually have no problem letting other people use my work as long as they ask and then mention in the scene description that it was my work.

@pnvv - Good points, but I disagree with writing "Free to use" in your scenes for a couple of reasons: 1. Everything about Algodoo and ALgobox are FREE anyways! 2. The statement "Free to use" is ambiguous. A better statement would be something like, "I give you permission to upload my scene material as long as you do not take credit for making it". That may be a little long, but it describes exactly what you expect. Keep in mind that this is all about UPLOADING another person's work. It has nothing to do with USING another person's work on their own computer. Anyone can use any other person's work on their own computer as long as they do not upload it to Algobox without permission.

REMINDER: Please don't bicker with each other about stealing stuff here in the comments of my scene. That's not why I posted this! Thanks...

In Algobox the only way that a user can send a message to another user is in the scene comments. The Report tab is only for reporting another user who breaks the rules such as when they use profanity in comments or scenes. The report message goes directly to me. Now, if you have a user name and account on the Algodoo forum, you can send another user a private message through the Private Message (PM) system. Unfortunately, Algobox does not have such a PM system. Also, unfortunately, many people who use Algobox do not use the forum, and so you cannot send them a PM. So, until we get something better, you can only send messages through scene comments on Algobox. Admins can send "Warning" messages to other users, but users cannot send warning messages to anyone.

Hope this is what you were asking about.

@Animinus - You must have missed my announcement a few weeks ago. We now allow virtually any kind of scene, even simple, stupid ones, and text only scenes, as long as they do not violate the Algodoo Terms of Service (see "Rules" at the top of every Algobox page). In case you did not know this, I am the current Algobox Admin (there are other Admins but I devote more time to watching over the website than the other Admins who mainly deal with the Algodoo forum). Therefore, because I am an Admin, I have to sometimes make announcements for all users to see (like THIS one), and there is no other way to do that on Algobox except by posting a scene. And just because I am allowed to do certain things, doesn't mean that everyone can do the same. But unless things change down the road, there are no restrictions on scene content except as described in the Terms of Service (for example, no profanity, no threatening other users, no giving false information, no selling/buying stuff on Algobox, etc).

@soccerman611 - That's fine, as long as other users don't have a problem with what you are doing. As I said many times before, giving credit to someone is not the same as, and is not a substitute for getting their permission!

@SuperHeroAhmad - How WHAT? Please form a complete sentence so that I understand what you are asking. I'm fairly talented, but I cannot read minds!

@SA - Here's an example of what can be done with sea creatures: Fish Aquarium It took me a lot of time and hard work to make them look lifelike, and I think just by changing the size, shape, and textures, you could make them into the fish in YOUR scene. I'll try to find some time to play around with it and see what I can come up with. Your scene would look awesome if the fish were able to swim!

@altugdelen2 - If they are inactive, then there is no way that you can contact them. So go ahead and use their work but keep in mind that if they ever come back on Algobox and complain about you using their material, you may have to delete it. In some cases, if you are polite and ask real nicely, then people might be Okay with allowing you to use their scenes.

Twind - Yeah, I think some adults will have nightmares too!

Toughplayer1 - Since this scene is so crappy (your words) and you do not want people to play it, would you like me to delete it? Let me know and I'll take care of it for you.

@alasmyfoe - It makes no sense mentioning that here. It would be much more effective if you make that statement in your scenes!

You can delete your own scene but you cannot delete anyone else's scene. Only Admins can delete other people's scenes.

Wow! I don't know why, but this scene works so much better than my scene!

@Ultragamer564 - Are you kidding? She's old enough to be your mother!

@SA - Well, the article does say something about needing a brain.


LOL! JK!

Aiden H - If you copied someone else's work and did not get their permission to do so, then your scene might get deleted if the owner of the material that you copied complains. If they do not complain, then you can take a chance by using it, but it is better to wait and get their permission if you can.

Thanks

awsomeman1 - HUH?

What does "FTW" stand for?

Yeah, we know about this. It's nothing special. There are many scenes in the Algobox archive that show this strange kind of water behavior.

Zachkiller12 -- No hacker did anything to your scene. I deleted it because you promoted some other website and we do not allow that. Didn't you receive my warning that I sent you?

ZachKiller12 - Are you receiving my warning messages to you? Please let me know here. Leave a comment.

Thanks

-sigh- I ask you again. ARE YOU RECEIVING MY WARNING MESSAGES? If not, then I want to figure out why not. So, please answer the question. And stop being sarcastic.

Silent Bender - I don't know if many people would go along with your "rules". It's one thing to either give permission to use your work, or not give permission, but I think it's asking too much of people to tell them to go ahead and spend hours working on a scene that you "might" not approve after they upload it. If you feel that a certain person might not use your work appropriately (based upon their reputation or past scenes) then it's better to just say no, rather than to play games with them and possibly make an enemy.

Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Just curious.... Did you try to contact manu1 to ask him permission to use his walker?

All you say is, "This thing calculates...." but you do not explain how to use it, and what keys control it. Please explain!

Thanks!

Thanks, faytree!

Godzilla ate a big lunch (lots of people and cars) and now he is using the bathroom! LOL! HA HA HA HA HA!!!

Funny scene!

mariobray - People will be more likely to help you if you ask nicely instead of demanding that they help you. By saying something like: "Please help me" instead of: "help me now!", then you might get more people who are willing to help you.

Just a friendly suggestion for you!

Thanks, pnvv!

Thanks, guys! I was thinking about making a game out of it, but no definite plans yet. Or, it may possibly end up being nothing more than a 3D bouncing ball in a box.
