Algodoo

The grenade works now!

Thanks!

Thanks much!

The next time a scammer..... errr.... I mean a loan company calls you saying they will pay off your student loan for a small fee, go ahead and chat with them. They cheated.... ummmm... I mean serviced many happy customers.

Nicely done! Great job!

RealBlocky911 - You are using an older version of Algodoo. I would suggest that you uninstall it, and download the latest version which is v2.1.0. That should resolve those issues.

The most recent scene you uploaded (titled Water!) shows "Made with: Algodoo before v1.8.5"

So, no, you are not at v2.1.0 unless you installed it AFTER you posted that scene.

Oh, that could be the problem. I am only familiar with the Windows version. I never used Algodoo on Ipad, Mac, or Iphone. Sorry I can't help you with that.

You can try reading some of the Forum posts to see if anyone has commented about your issue. The Forum is no longer active but there's a lot of helpful information on it that might be helpful to your situation. It's worth a try!

I'm much older than 11. In fact, I helped Noah and his family load animals onto his arc. So, yeah.... I'm older than 11.

Hey, a time machine would be a great idea for a scene! I just might do that.

Easy... Just glue all the boards to the background. Problem solved!

These are known as "spring engines". They get their power from unstable springs that have been given a negative value for damping. A true internal combustion engine gets its power from an external fuel supply, and it has timed intake and exhaust valves and ignition system.

The response from the arrow keys is very slow and sluggish, and the lag in general is quite bad. My computer strength is "average", and can run nearly all Algodoo scenes without problems, but this scene is especially non-responsive. Sorry...

Thanks ProfessionalSudo!

Wow, thanks teacuprides!

The poor guy has no arms! Did he eat them too?

Oh, thanks.

awwww.... how sweet!

BlueMoon2607 -- Thanks for letting me know about that. I fixed it so that you can now use either the standard keyboard 0 and 1 keys, OR the keypad [0] and [1] keys.

This "Scene Plagiarism Checker" is actually useless for three reasons.
1. Scenes and parts of scenes get copied and uploaded to Algobox nearly every day. And because of that, it's impossible to determine who the original maker of a particular scene was. With this Plagiarism Checker, a person can copy someone else's scene, install the checker, and basically brand the scene as their own.
2. It's too complicated to use for the average 10 year old marble race kid who has no idea what a Phunlet is or how to use it.
3. Anyone who knows Thyme Scripting can easily defeat the Plagiarism Checker after downloading the protected scene and then modifying it.

Bottom line, it's more trouble than it's worth.

@BlueMoon2607 -- I apologize if my prior comment was a little blunt or insulting. Please be assured that it wasn't my intention. I have been dealing with scene plagiarism since I became the Algobox admin back in 2014. It's a real problem but I have reached the sad conclusion that it's unenforceable. I even posted a couple of copy-protection scenes which I originally thought were great, but soon realized how useless they actually are. If you click on my username, you will find them in my list of scenes.

Even though the Algobox rules state that scenes should not be copied and uploaded by someone other than the original maker, I no longer enforce that rule because I cannot spend hours of my time attempting to track down who the original author of a particular scene was. Lord knows I have better ways to spend my time! Another problem is the fact that sometimes only parts of a scene get copied and reused. How can that be enforced? It cannot! So, the bottom line is, I ask people to please do not copy other people's work without permission. If they do plagiarize scenes and make a habit of it, they will get a bad reputation with the Algobox community which no one wants.

You are obviously talented with Thyme scripting, and I hope to see what awesome scenes you'll come up with in the future!

hamzasolom20 -- Your scene was basically an empty scene which contained no added components. I deleted it because that kind of scene serves no purpose. Try making scenes that you can be proud of! Make scenes that actually DO things. Algodoo is a physics simulation app. It simulates things that move in real life. So, put your thinking cap on and make things that move, bounce, change shape, or explode!

As I told BlueMoon2607 in his Plagiarism Checker scene, these kinds of gimmicks do not work. In fact they cause more problems than they fix. I don't want to repeat myself here so if you'll read the comments in his scene, then you'll understand why these anti-plagiarism ideas do not work.

That's a great idea! I'll see if I can make it work the way you described over the next couple of days.

This is very interesting! I'm sure that the marble racers could use it some how in their marble race track designs.

@BlueMoon2607 and s_noonan -- Both of you have great ideas to prevent plagiarism here on Algobox and I agree with s_noonan that the best way to handle it would be to modify Algodoo and Algobox which only Algoryx can do. They are able to add new features to Algodoo and to Algobox which I have no doubt would resolve this issue. My contact at Algoryx is currently on personal leave from the company, but I will bring this issue to his attention as soon as he is able to deal with it. Just keep in mind that Algodoo is a low priority for the company because it no longer makes a profit, and they are spending nearly all of their resources on developing and supporting new products.

Thanks

I was totally bored really.

Not really. It's impossible!

How is this a working computer? It doesn't do anything except print a few lines of text.

The scene isn't broken. It does exactly what you made it do with a simple script.
