Algodoo

Thank you guys!

Three years and I'm still waiting for mine.

"correctly formed gears have rolling (not sliding) contact." I didn't know that but it makes perfect sense. I learned something new today! THANKS!

Excellent job on the scene. I'm impressed as usual, s_noonan.

Wow, she's gorgeous!

Literally!

Good job on the scene. It's quite interesting!

By the way: The word should be spelled PRINCIPLE (not principal). The two words mean different things!

rjoseph -- I don't understand what you mean by "put all the names on Algobox". We can only post scenes on Algobox. As for the names, each user of this scene can store their own list of names in the game. Read the instructions to learn how to do that.

rjoseph -- Your question makes no sense.

s_noonan -- I have been in contact with Emanuel (from Algoryx) about the possibility of him answering technical questions concerning Thyme Scripting, and he thought that was a good idea. He of course has access to the Algodoo project that Emil Emerfeldt mostly worked on during its early days of software development. I'm waiting back from him concerning details of how we can best handle that (maybe I'll post a scene requesting technical questions in the comments section). So, for now, please be thinking about any questions you might have, and if/when I post a scene asking for questions, you will see it.

This scene is a response to the original scene that was made by user mateo7041. I just copied his scene and slightly modified it to make it look like the airbags deploy at a high speed, but in actuality the airbags are already deployed but cannot be seen because the color transparency value is initially set to zero (totally transparent). Then when the collision with the other car occurs, I simply make the airbags opaque by setting the color transparency value to 1.0. There is also a timer that switches the sim frequency from 60Hz to 1200Hz when the cars are a short distance from each other which causes the slow-motion effect. It's sort of like Hollywood movie magic!

donniedip -- Maybe you should see this scene: Giving Credit Skit

ChipmunkBlaster -- You will need to ask your parents or someone from your church or other religious organization that question. I only deal with right and wrong pertaining to the rules of this website. Sorry I cannot help you.

MrPigeon -- Great idea! So go ahead and add a seatbelt to this scene and post it. I'm sure it will be awesome!

Why? It's a subject that needs a lot of talking so that kids will get the message. We cannot save everyone because not everyone will listen and take this advice. If even just a few kids grow up without smoking cigarettes or vaping, then all this talk will be worth it.

No, because it's too much trouble to make the sound work properly. Maybe someday Algodoo will get an update which includes the ability to produce sound but I wouldn't hold my breath. The cost to add new features to an old software product is usually too high to be practical, especially for a product that is FREE to the public.

That's who he looks like! I saw the real Penny Wise in a storm drain in front of my house the other day. He kept begging me to come over to talk to him, but I was too busy at the time. Maybe later.

Oh, Okay. Now it makes sense!

I changed the word in your scene title for you. I hope you don't mind.

Your Tetris project? Sorry, but I looked at all the scenes you posted on Algobox and I don't see any titled "Tetris project".

rjoseph -- You make no sense. Can you be more specific about what you are asking?

Okay, great!


Oops, hold on there. I have one more correction for ya. You stated "Naming the variable with a _ at the start makes them easier to spot." Well, my friend, that's not all the underscore is for. It is required for all local (also called "custom") variables. Without the underscore character, the variable will not be saved with the scene which means that it will not work whenever anyone downloads your scene and tries to use it! The underscore character is NOT needed for global ("scene.my...") variables.

Rick is ubiquitous!

Hmmmm... I don't remember that one. Can you give me the actual link to it? Copy the url then paste it into a comment.

Not that I know of. I've tried extending the zoom limits for one of my older scenes but without success. I'm sure that it's limited for a good reason.

No particular reason. It just happens to be the way I made the scene. It was probably due to the fact that I'm right-handed, and so it's easier for me to grab the bleach on the right-hand side of the scene. Why do you ask such strange questions?

YW!

Oh, wait... I just thought of one more thing (that stuff happens to us old people). You also do not need the underscore character for temporary variables. Temporary variables can be used within a calculation or within a function. For example:

{
tempVar = math.sin(sim.time);
tempVar > 0.5 ? {do this}:{else, do this}
}

After that code is no longer executing, tempVar will no longer exist.

Don't worry, donnie. I don't worry about people copying things without permission because, as I stated in my own scene about giving credit, it's impossible to know who the original owner is. Stuff gets copied and reused practically every day here on Algobox, and I'm not going to spend many hours of my time trying to determine who actually created a particular ragdoll or a particular blue marble. I have better things to do with my time!

Oh, now I know what you are referring to! I thought you were saying that you were playing Mario Kart and you saw MY NAME in that game! LOL

Anyhow, see my earlier comment about why I made this scene...

Africa will be up in the sky with clouds floating by?

Blocking your camera won't help, s_noonan. I wrote a script that activates the pixels in your monitor to become light sensors instead of light emitters. I can see you blushing as I compose this comment. (please put your pants back on!)

How? I made one green, one yellow, one blue, one orange, and one red. Sorry rjoseph, but that was a dumb question.
