Algodoo

These are actually really good!

I had a slightly strange idea that was sort of inspired by the cell phone ad scenes you and Test-01999 made.

What if I create a graphical computer like a phone, with "apps" which are just these forms? Bonus points if the home screen itself can be customized (i.e. it's an app too).

Rather than having a strange proprietary scripting language like Ab or Chives, it could theoretically run pure Thyme, and since the apps are just a modification of these forms, programming it could potentially be really easy, and it could possibly even be useful for more than just messing around with, if I, say, ported my tree generator and the like to it. One phunlet to take care of all of my generator needs.

I kind of love this idea to be honest!

I also like the idea of finally implementing a proper filesystem. Maybe the phone can have an internal filesystem and removable SD card-like drives!

Gears are super satisfying in my opinion!

For natural selection, I would use variables to control aspects such as growth rate rather than modifying the code itself.

To create a new persistent variable in an object, open the script menu and locate the empty black textbox under the "Scripting is unsupported" warning. Now, type _variablename = (value).

From here, you can change the variable to whatever! You can also change variablename to whatever you like. Just remember to keep the underscore before it -- that way Algodoo doesn't delete it when the scene reloads!

You can access this variable just like any other variable in a script, and you can also store a script within the variable and execute it as a command.

I hope this made sense, and I hope this helps!
It's 1:30 AM here though, so I should probably go to bed now.

P.S. I can post a demo scene featuring something similar to natural selection if you like!

*takes the chicken's knife away*
bad chicken >:[

I have a couple of old scenes back from my super overconfident/mean days (2019 or 2020 - 2022) that simulate a crude form of natural selection, I may try to eventually remake those scenes but I don't like to think back on those days to be honest and that's also a lot of the reason why I don't like making algodoo computers anymore

Nonetheless though I am fully willing to make a natural selection scene!

Hi! Can you please delete this comment? I got triggered by something (I have PTSD so-) and think i overreacted a bit and im sorry

I would like to own up to my mistakes however, so if the deleted message warrants a punishment I accept it.

However, I would still like to go through with the transition to a new account. Is there any way to anonymously tell you the name I want for the new account?

I might try this in the future but for now Algodoo doesn't seem to want to play ball with such a computer. Somehow running it causes every script inside of the computer to have a case of the "bubbles".

By that, i mean everything (gets) (surrounded) (by) (parenthesis) like when you forget to add a semicolon but it still manages to compile!

I have just signed up for one.
Thank you!

I think so but I'm not sure.

I'm sorry to change my mind yet again (trust me, its annoying me too) but I talked with FRA32 about some things and he told me that if I get harrassed, I should just ignore it. In that case, is it fine if I keep my account?

Not at present, but some people have been harrassing me on the internet on other websites for the past 6 years (that's almost half of my life!). I successfully broke contact with them in April of 2023 and I have switched all of my accounts except for my Algodoo account. They have destroyed pretty much everything I have except for my algodoo stuff.

I noticed that one of those people uploaded on Algobox a few days ago and I was scared that they would begin harrassing me again. Fra32 told me that if they do I should just ignore them, so i think thats what i will do in that case, but if they do I will also report it to you.

While im on the topic though, I want to tell you that in the early 2020s I ran an unofficial Algodoo wiki, and almost the entirety of that wiki was me self promoting myself and talking about myself/my stuff like I was some sort of celebrity, and I still feel embarrassed about it.

I also said some really, really mean stuff on other wikis at the time and I feel bad about it, so...

In a way i kind of feel like i deserve this

Thank you!

A gift! And it's full of Xoks!

I'm planning on redoing the preset menu to have a lot more presets to choose from, but in the meantime, here's a script you can use to make a toggle look like a checkbox!

Simply click on the toggle, paint it whatever color you want, and paste this into postStep:

(e)=>{
"You can rename _toggleValue to anything you want!";
text = (_value ? "X": "");
_form._toggleValue = _value
}

I would also right click on the toggle button and set its text to "X" so you can scale the text appropriately.

By default, toggles are on. If you would like to change this, enter the toggle's script editor and change _value from true to false.

I hope this helps!

Xray didn't time travel!

(I have a very hard time telling if people are joking, so if you are joking please ignore this comment! UwU)

I am assuming you are talking about the "Short list of rules" scene, which said it was uploaded on January 12, 2025.

Someone from Algoryx manually changed the Date Added to 2025 if I remember correctly (It might have been Xray but i forgot) - it was actually released in january of *this* year if i remember correctly!

I used to have an awful laptop and half of the keys broke less than a year after I got it. I know the feeling

I still haven't managed to solve this.
I kind of want to make a scene of my own that's kind of like this now!

Yummy!

I put one of the decent frozen Xoks in the microwave and it ended up reproducing so much that it popped the microwave open and Xoks kept spilling out of it!

I have a question.
If Xoks are edible, what do they taste like?

This scene is a real page turner!

I fixed it!

First, toInt should be math.toInt.

Second, randuniform01() should just be rand.uniform01.

Finally, rand.direction2D() should just be rand.uniform2D! (no parenthesis)

I hope this helps!

The chicken was no match for Michael!

Should I delete this scene?
I feel like it really isn't that good and the customization is really, really limited so calling this a generator feels like a stretch

I don't understand, what did it do?

Well, thank you for saying that!

I'm still disappointed in myself though for not at least incorporating more control over the shapes but I'm just not sure how it would work.
I feel like I would need a dropdown menu or something and i feel like if I'm going to go that far I might as well just build an entire asset library for my visual form creator and... yeah.

I guess the main difficulty for multi-body form components would be making it easy to modify settings for. Each component would have to have its own variable within the form which would have to be manually altered if you wanted to rename the component, which is necessary for having multiple of the same component

Oh okay! Thank you for letting me know!

(I was worried that it was just because this was a gacha life character, I personally like that game so...!)

Yay! Now I'm finally where I belong!

That sounds horrible!

I don't understand why people are like that to be honest, but it's awful!
