Algodoo

Ultragamer - I don't know what you are trying to prove here, but not only are your facts about 9/11 completely distorted, but your spelling and grammar are far from correct. You really should confirm the validity of your stories before presenting them as facts, because they are WRONG.

Here's where you were wrong:
First off, your scene title says "America's near death..." Well, America was not "near death". We were not anywhere near death at all. Even if the terrorists had been successful in crashing a plane into the Whitehouse, our government had plans in place that would allow it to continue operating either with or without the President. And our military was still as strong and as powerful as it always was.

Then in the scene you said:
"9/11 was tragic: It stole the many lives of others. Some it killed by the plane, some by the fire, heck, even people suicided, that's just how hopeless America was at that point." WRONG! America was far from hopeless. We took a hard hit, and many people lost their lives, but we quickly sprang back to eventually kill or capture many of the evil morons who planned and executed the attack on us. It took over a decade but we finally located and killed the most evil of all the terrorists, Ossama Bin Laden.

Then you go on to tell a ridiculous story about someone saying "Let's Roll" during a phone call from the plane, flight 93. I do not know if that phone call did or did not take place, but someone saying "Let's Roll" is not what prevented the plane from crashing into the Whitehouse. It was the very brave passengers who did what they could to take control away from the Terrorists who were flying the airplane. It had nothing to do with someone saying "Let's Roll".

Then you said, "Although the plane was close to hitting, it landed in the White House field: A close one." That is absolutely FALSE.
The plane did not land but it actually crashed in an open field next to a wooded area in Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, which is 130 miles north-west of Washington DC. It did not land anywhere near the Whitehouse.

Then finally you said, "9/11 is the same as 911, the Police Department. Does this mean that the terroists planned it ON 9/11?"
First of all, 911 is NOT the Police Department. In most major cities, a 911 call goes directly to a 911 call center where phone operators have access to the local police, Sheriff's Department, Fire Department, and Ambulances. Next, I doubt very much that most terrorists in other countries even know that the U.S. uses 911 as the emergency call numbers. It was just a coincidence that the numbers happen to be the same as the date, 9/11, and nothing more.

So, as I said before, get your facts straight before you post this kind of ludicrous scene.

This scene is kind of creepy, but cool at the same time!

Good job!

pnvv - yes, apparently so because it happened to me a number of times.

Lightningmatt - Thank you for your comments and your opinions.

Concerning you mentioning that my comments are "TOO HARSH", I would say that my reply to Ultragamer's scene HAD to be harsh in order for others reading Ultragamer's scene to understand how inaccurate and in many ways totally absurd it is. I didn't want kids reading it and thinking that what he had stated is factual history. Ultragamer wasn't even born yet when 9/11 2001 took place.

I personally had always disagreed with the fact that the U.S. dropped atom bombs on two Japanese civilian cities. The people who were killed and maimed were mostly innocent civilians. In my opinion they would have had just as much impact by bombing military and other strategic targets. Supposedly (and this is what we Americans were taught in school) by dropping those two bombs the effect had saved possibly millions of lives on both sides, who otherwise would have died if the Japanese did not surrender and the war were to continue for many more years.

Concerning your comment about Russia making Japan surrender, I'm not so sure about that. They may have had a hand in it, but the real pressure came from those two devastating bombs.

Thanks wild bill! I'm glad that you are still around also!

Who the heck is "Lord Xray"? I'm just a nice guy who volunteered to watch over Algobox to make sure that people don't break the rules. I'm just like anyone else on this website. Nothing special.

Wow! Alien_RG added another creepy person to play "catch the box".

This scene truly is awesome, and it could not have been done without the use of Thyme scripting.

Again, GOOD JOB!


PS - It would be even cooler if you could make one or both of the creepy people Juggle three balls. I now that would be very difficult to implement, but If you could pulled it off, it would be one of the greatest scenes here on Algobox!

He looks scary and creepy, but he may actually be a nice guy (or should I say "head") when people get to know him!

Good job!

Wow! Amazing! Nice job!

Well, faytree.... you really don't need to agree THAT much!

Hey red_dragon -- Any chance that you could make a second robot that will fight the first one? Get rid of the boxing dummy and replace it with another robot. That would be cool to see two robots boxing each other!

If you don't want to do that, could I have your permission to use the robot in my own scene? I will attempt to make just what I asked you to make. I'm not sure if I could do it, but I will certainly try. And of course I would give you credit for the design of the fighting robot.

Please let me know.

Thanks!

Thanks, S.A.!

Please stop spamming Algobox with your "more info" scenes! Try making new, and interesting scenes instead of the same old cut-and-paste scenes. Others will appreciate that if you did.

Thanks

Mechanical Engineering is not my area of expertise, and so some of what is discussed in this scene is over my head. BUT, I can clearly see that you did an excellent job of creating a scene that works well, and has a good narrative. Therefore, I can say without the slightest reservation: WELL DONE!

This new account is CyanDrop. He's trying to make everyone believe that it's someone else.

Now, he's in trouble again for registering multiple accounts.

I am Admin here on Algobox, and I have tools that help me to determine someone's identity. That's how I know if a user has more than one user account.

Cathier - I don't know this for certain, but it's possible (and I dear say, probable) that the developer of Algodoo used a purchased math package which would include floating point calculations. Software based floating point always has some level of ambiguity in its results because of the limited precision of the calculations. So, for example, when you expect a calculation result to be 0.25000, and it displays 0.2499999, it is the fault of the purchased math package and not of Algodoo the simulation program. This is actually quite common, from my own experience.

Epic?

Hey The Bridge Builder...... You filed a report, and you thought you were addressing kilinich, but I am the Admin here on Algobox. Kilinich only helps occasionally, but he rarely shows up here on Algobox like he used to. Anyhow, I don't understand your message, so please reword it here as a comment so that I could understand what you were reporting.

Thanks,
Xray

English: You are a very good programmer! I hope you will make more scenes with a lot of Thyme script programming!

Russian: Вы очень хороший программист! Я надеюсь, что вы будете делать больше сцен с большим количеством тимьяна программирования сценариев!

Please comment in English if you can. I do not speak or write Russian. I used Google Translate to write the above text in Russian.

Thanks!

Good demonstration of an esoteric subject.

s_noonan -- Would you mind if I used your "melting" script (in your Toy Soldier scene) for my own future scenes? It's awesome!

Thanks!

Oops! I deleted my request to use your script before you had a chance to respond! LOL

THANKS AGAIN!

Good job! The only things that were a little confusing at first were trying to figure out what keys did what. Your description says to use keys 7 & 9, 4 & 6, & 2. But when I pressed those keys, nothing moved! I soon figured out that I needed to turn off the "Num_Lock" key (which is odd, because when using the keyboard Num-Pad, the Num_Lock is normally turned on). After playing around with Mister Standard Dummy, I decided to pull him apart in order to see how you control him. That's when I discovered that in addition to the Num_Lock keys, you also put the controls in the scene to use other keys such as the left, right, up, and down arrow keys. You should have put that in the description because I personally prefer using the arrow keys to control a scene than the Num_Pad keys, and I suspect that other people do too. In fact, some people have complained over the years in which I have been using Algodoo that they cannot operate scenes that use the Num-Pad for controlling things. That's because some computers (especially some laptops) do not have Num-Pad keys! So I usually avoid using the Num-Pad keys in my own scenes.

Except for the issue of confusing keys, overall you did a really nice job on the scene. The dummy looks good and seems to work quite well.

Yes, I did! Check out my comments and suggestions on the scene page.

Are you still interested in my suggestion for fixing your scene?

Ultragamer - Remember, there are people who feel that marble races and algocathlon camps are in the same category as MLP. That is, only toddlers and 8 year old boys like that kind of stuff. You make fun of MLP, but there are a LOT of people who do not like MR's.

Also, you have no right to tell Aidan or anyone else to leave Algobox. That is simply wrong of you.

Just a fact, Jack!

I drink Welch's Strawberry-Kiwi fruit drink cuz I like it.

Calm down. No physics laws were broken. We see this all the time. It's just because a spring becomes unstable when you give it a negative damping value. Nothing to get excited about.

I've owned a lot of guns over the years, and the 1911A1 Commander is my favorite. I bought it used from a gun store in Wisconsin back in 1975, and two years ago I handed it down to my son. Now it's HIS favorite gun! It is accurate, has a very smooth action, and in all the years that I owned it, it misfired only one time, and that was from one of my own faulty reloads! This gun, in my opinion, is at the top of American workmanship. When I look at it and admire its mechanical beauty, I get almost as excited as I do when looking at a beautiful woman.
