Algodoo

xaxexx -- Just letting you know that I read your report about this user stealing your car for his own scene. Unfortunately, I do not investigate those kinds of reports any longer because it often turns out that items or total scenes that people claim were "stolen" were actually stolen a number of times by a number of people! It became very frustrating for me because I often spent a lot of time trying to determine who owns what, and it often became nearly impossible for me. So, as I stated, I no longer waste my time with this sort of thing. I usually suggest to people who claim that their stuff was stolen to contact the person (as you did) to convince them to remove the item or to give the person credit. If that doesn't work, there is nothing more that can be done. But people will see your comments in those scenes, and then they will know the truth!

Sorry I cannot do anything more for you....

Xray, Algodoo Admin

Okay, thanks! That's interesting, but I doubt that I will ever need to calculate that sort of thing in my future Algodoo scenes. But I did learn something new!

Nice try!

Have you seen this one: Langton's ant ?

m1ke510a -- That YouTube video shows an Algodoo scene. Almost anything "magical" can be done with Algodoo, and so it really doesn't demonstrate something that can be constructed in the real world. In other words, it proves nothing at all. Show me a device that someone built and truly made work in the real world and THEN I'll be impressed! Unfortunately, there are millions of "free energy" devices around which do not work, and there are ZERO free energy devices which do work (even though many fake YouTube videos would have you believe otherwise). Nature does not allow us humans to have limitless free energy because she knows what we would do with it if we did!

xaxexx -- I don't care what people do on YouTube or on any other website. My only concern is what happens here on Algobox.

technically just saying

In addition to s_noonan's observations, I wanted to point out that the shaking frequency and amplitude in the real-world examples look somewhat chaotic, which more represents a seismic event than just a single frequency and amplitude which is what you employ in your Algodoo scene. In other words, the real-world examples look much more violent. Also, the real-world examples look like they are not only shaking from side-to-side, but also up-and-down.

With all of those blue dots showing up, it gives us some hope that our future during this pandemic doesn't look so bleak after all!

People desperately want to get back to a "normal" life, but as of this date (April 19, 2020) it's going to require quite a bit longer before that can happen, and continuance of the safety measures as recommended by the CDC and WHO.

The GUI works great! Nice job.

The moon would look more normal if it had some craters.


Also, the Earth's shadow would look more normal if it were round!

So, what will happen if we don't watch your marble race?

xaxexx -- That question is off-topic and doesn't belong here, but I will answer it anyway because I'm a nice guy.

First of all, explain what you mean by "screen effects". Be specific so that I completely understand you, and I can then give you an accurate answer.

Quote: "This was a satirical joke..."

I, of course knew that. But I cannot speak for other people.

According to Wikipedia , the Graviton has ZERO mass (not negative mass as you suggest). Also, it is currently considered a "hypothetical quantum of gravity", meaning that its existence is purely theoretical. I like Einstein's explanation of gravity, that it is simply space-time being curved by a massive object. That makes the most sense to me.

There are two commands that control that feature. They are grooyOn and groovyOff

groovyOn turns that weird psycho effect ON and groovyOff turns it OFF. You can type those commands either into the Algodoo console, or into the data input area of any Algodoo geometry. The data input area is the dark strip located in the upper left-hand corner of any geometry when in the Script Menu.

Hope this helps!

Yes, I realize that, and please understand that I am not saying that your theory is wrong, it's just that one comment you made about Gravitons having "negative mass" goes against conventional theories of people who are much smarter than I am! LOL Until a theory gets scientifically proven, your theory is just as good as Einstein's theory or anyone else's theory.

Nice effect. Good job!


By the way, I have posted a lot of CUBES on Algobox, and by clicking on the link in this comment, you will be able to see how I did all of them. I used mostly Thyme Scripting to make them do what I wanted them to do.

I clicked on "God" and was struck by lightning.... Damn, I hate when that happens!

I know that it's hard to believe, but there are some people who take this flat-Earth stuff very seriously. They really do believe that the Earth is a flat disk, and if you continue walking in a straight line you will eventually fall off of the disk into deep space! There are also some people who believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.

NOT the first video (actually, the correct term is "animation")! Not even close. There are probably 300 or 400 animation scenes here on Algobox, many that are much better than yours is. Do a search for word "animation" and you will find them. Use the "Search" tab above this page.

Anyhow, you did a good job for a first attempt.

Back in the mid 1970's I lived just north of San Francisco in the Napa Valley (where the best wine grapes are grown!). I no longer live in California, and the one thing in San Francisco that I miss more than any other thing is a fabulous science museum called "The Exploratorium". They featured hundreds of hands-on science and physics experiments that are geared to everyone between the ages of about 6 years old to 106 years old! I have been to many science museums across the U.S. over the years, but NONE of them are as much fun and educational as the Exploratorium (in my opinion). If anyone reading this comment lives near, or will some day visit San Francisco or the area, I highly recommend that you visit the Exploratorium! It is AWESOME!

@APPLE12121223 -- You're joking, right?

You did not explain HOW to play the game! I assume that the players, in turn, have to copy and paste the O and X onto the colored cube layers. Is that right?

BTW - This scene reminded me of my Rubik's Cube scene!

The only "Rocket Man" that I am familiar with is Elton John!

That flat-earth stuff is like a religion to some people. Say anything against their beliefs and they get very offended. Those kind of people will never be convinced no matter how solid the proof is to the contrary. The important fact is that smart and sensible people like you and me know the truth, and we understand basic science, which, apparently those flat-Earthers do not.

I've played chess with some PEOPLE who did that!

The world ain't what it used to be!

After the data has been plotted, if the engine and dyno remain running for another 45 seconds or so, they both explode!

Please confirm that in case it might be something caused by my own computer.

That fix it.

Good job on the printer! But did you forget about letters W, X, Y, and Z?

I don't know what "UFE" means, but I already answered your last question about voting in my message scene above, AND in my comments. You kids just enjoy wasting my time, don't you?

No

You can say results of a race IN COMMENTS, just not in scenes.

It's supposed to shut down when the scene is over. That's how I programmed it.

In the future, JohnG, it's not necessary to paste a zillion faces to your comments. Just one or maybe two are more than sufficient. Thanks
