Heres a jumping frog I made in v 4.22. It works good in 5.28 but not as well in Algodoo. It still works in Algodoo but needs work.
The frog jumps pretty well and its a pretty fun game and doesnt use a stabilizer. You can make his tongue shoot out to catch and eat bugs. The frog turns into a prince when you get to the castle and kiss the princess at the end of the game.

If you look at mine I used the front legs to help control the landings and to help keep the frog level in the air. I kept adjusting the weight of the front legs and the spring strength and damping. I also kept adjusting the springs and hinges on the rear legs until I got good stability. (Remeber mine works best in 5.28)
It just takes time to get it right, yours already is pretty good. Yours also doesnt seem to have control for how big of a jump you can make, it seems like it only has a big jump capabilty. If you test mine you can see the user can make short hops or larger jumps, you can even just scoot across the ground instead of jumping(controlled by how long you hold down the key). That gives more control thru an obstacle course.

Also if you keep the body weight down and the weight of the feet a little higher to make the center of gravity lower it will help, you shouldnt need a stabilizer but it will just take longer to make it reasonably stable.

Looks cool but the gun fires backwards for me, and some of the scenes ideas look familiar(Fly thru rings and shoot floating targets). But good work! I like it.

Thanks lethalsquirl, I have some other flying scenes if you havent seen them yet.

Nice work. Flys pretty good.

The lens flare from the sun is a pretty cool detail!

Thanks.

Hi Kilinich, thanks!

Thanks Bla bla and Llamaman.

Thanks RA2.

Then you must have had a glitch. Theres an object that is scripted to change the collision group after initial contact of the scoring object to keep it from scoring more than once. I have had it happen but never more than about 500 points.

I used a program called Growlers Guncam but there are better programs than that one. Then to post it in the phunbox description use this.....

The phunbox sometimes doesnt let you post clips here though......

Hi JDK, thank you, its good to see you are still around! I dont mind at all, and I will check out your link.

Thanks Gent.

Thanks kilinich, actually the spawning engine plane under the p-51 skin I made either during Algodoo beta testing or right after, I forget exactly when. I finally got around to using it......I took some time off.

LLamaman, Im not sure why its working on everyones computer but yours, but I think I know what will fix it. I changed the breakable hinge that causes it to catch on fire to a higher breaking point so it should work for you now if you download it again, I replaced it with v 1.1.

Let me knoqw if it works now.

Merry Christmas! Dont forget to upload this to the contest Algobox also.

Looks awesome!!!! 10/10

Cool!!! 10/10
Merry Christmas

Thanks, Im not sure why a box gave a -100 score. And Ive never had a plane fall but but I will check again.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks Kilinich

Thanks Davidz

Great work! Nice scripting. 10/10

It ran over 4 minutes without fail, looks and works great! 10/10

Thanks Gent. If by photo skin you mean the textures option heres the basics...
find a pic you want to use and drag and drop it in the textures folder thats in the algodoo folder. Now make a box and click on it, click on the option that lets you change the color of the box, then click on find a texture and the textures will pop up, click on the pic you want and it will appear on the box. Then use the cut tool to cut it out. It easy!!

Gent, thanks for the comment on my scene, I posted an answer to how to do textures (Photos in algodoo) but I thought I would post it here to be sure you see it.
