I would like to make more scenes like this in the future, especially ones covering things that it took me way, way too long to find out about (like random number generation and string splitting)
One day I want to have a pretty comprehensive set of tutorials on Thyme -- but that will have to start somewhere!
I'd also really like to eventually make a little phunlet that contains text versions of these scenes that you can quickly go between to help with thyme on the go!
I remember I once shared a scene about something like PDFs in Algodoo. Perhaps I could use that as a basis?
Ideally though, it would use global variables -- that way you don't have to replace the phunlet each time you update something!
I decided to start working on my own object show inspired by yours by the way!
I should have the first part out later today.
Probably a good point. For me personally, I have a few variables I have set up with useful functions (like xfor) in them -- but I understand that might not be practical for everyone.
The main reason the first episode took so long was because I was overthinking the art style (eventually I just decided to make the assets in more or less the same style as my scenes and just use the brush tool for limbs/faces)!
I apologize for the lack of (thyme related) scenes lately though!
Again, it is mainly due to wrapping things up at school (graduating 2 years early isn't easy ) but I am very close to graduating, so this soft hiatus should end soon.
It's crazy to think that I was in 3rd grade when I first joined Algodoo -- and now I'm in 12th and about to graduate!
I don't have a general consensus as to when I am going to graduate, but it should be within a month or two.
I skipped 10th and most of 11th grade when I took a beginning-of-year test in 2023 -- I also started school a year earlier than most people -- I was only 5, from what I understand most people start school at 6!
I am very surprised though.
For 7 years of my life (2015 - 2022) I had this issue where I was overconfident about literally everything and thought I was always right and thought I was some sort of celebrity (I have hundreds, and I mean hundreds of scenes from this time period that I deleted ) and ever since that phase ended, I've been extremely self conscious (and I'm sure that's shown in my scenes where I post disclaimers practically everywhere now!) so I'm actually surprised that I managed to do something out of the ordinary.
As for the scenes I mentioned -- by far the worst offender was one I made in 2020.
Back then, for some reason I just made up that I had an IQ of 203 and made a scene about sinewaves bragging about that IQ score in the description -- which I had literally just based on nothing and made up on the spot.
I haven't taken an IQ test in about a year but last time I did, I usually got scores around 105 to 110...
Anywho, I have ideas for 3 scenes floating around right now (not including BTS 3) and I hope to release them all soon!
I hope Yield Sign wins!
I love Honeycrisp's transformations but the way Honeycrisp has been treating people makes me feel like Yield Sign deserves the win.
Thank you!
I've made a scene about them in the past. I have however updated the generator script -- I should probably create a new scene about them, and add more types of trees (such as pine and palm) soon!
My scene "Visual Form Creator" has a phunlettable version of the Tree Generator with a few extra features, which is what I used to make the background here!
It's in the "Sample Forms" section of the scene. Simply drag it into the phunlets and then drag it out and click on it whenever you want to generate trees!
I will, however, start working on the generator now. I hope to get it out in a few days!
I apologize for the long wait between computers! My break took a little longer than planned...
Anywhom, not counting the Egg computer, my next computer is almost done! It's designed to run both Chives and Ab programs -- and it finally adds Algonet to Ab.
I'm really happy with the disk drive too. It's not the same drive as in the Egg computer for the record -- the Egg computer, while meant to be a teaser for the AHOX Magnesium, was still just a joke and a lot of it is just hacked together. It actually has a mechanism to fit Ab disks into a snug fit that doesn't protrude out of the computer and I think it looks pretty neat!
It's named the AHOX Magnesium and I just finished designing the second prototype for the case!
I personally see Algodoo like an infinite box of LEGOs or something similar!
I can use it as a game, or I can build games and toys with it -- or even tools! -- the possibilities are endless!
