Okay, thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure I know what I did wrong, and I'll let you know when I get it to work. I spent the better part of this morning replacing the battery in my wife's car (a 2005 Buick Rendezvous). I want to shoot the engineer who came up with such a difficult method of mounting a battery under a maze of cables and steel bars that must be removed in order to get to it.

I drive a 2006 Chevy Silverado pickup which is only one year newer than my wife's car. I needed it when I ran my X-ray repair business until I retired in 2017. It's a great heavy duty truck but it gets horrible gas mileage. On open highways and at freeway speeds I'm lucky if I get 12 to 13 MPG! City driving I get around 10 MPG. Now that I'm retired, we hardly go anywhere except short trips to family or stores so gasoline cost is not an issue. By the way, I changed the battery in my truck and it took me about 20 minutes. My wife's car took about three and a half hours including broken and stripped screws, and I cussed more during that time period than I did during my four years in the U.S. Navy!

A property that I immediately noticed while switching the force on and off is that the cantilever beam seems to have some motion damping whereas the linear flexure does not. Is that due to the basic design or did you intentionally add in some damping for the cantilever beam and not for the linear flexure?

Good job on the scene.

Ummmm.... I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but 2022 ended EIGHT MONTHS ago!

Nice job on the scene overall. Just one problem: The number 3 laser is controlled by the number 9 key.

Weird!

But it's working correctly now.

Just an observation: I deleted the black box that covers all of the internal logic, and I think that people would think it's cool to watch all the logic lines and gates do their thing while changing states. In my opinion, you should either make it transparent or just leave it off!

Awesome!

"Funny Portal" is the correct spelling.

You copied lethalsquirrel's entire scene except you left out the human driver! I would bet that you did not ask him for permission to copy his scene, right? Simply writing "Credit to (user)" does not give you the right to copy and upload another person's work. Especially a very mechanically complex design like this one that he probably spent many hours creating. Why don't you design and build your own scene instead of copying other people's hard work?

Thank YOU for the great idea!

Nice demonstration!

I remember my first car when I was a teen. It had what General Motors called their "Positraction" rear end. It was their design for a "Limited Slip Differential", and it made a huge difference when driving on ice or snow-covered roads.

Oh, I thought they were misspelled words. My bad.

There must be differences in computers because I have no problem with keys 1 thru 4. I can hold down any combination of those keys without a problem. But keys 5 thru 8 is a different story. I cannot hold down more than any three keys.

I think it would be very helpful if you were to label the inputs and outputs. I'm not sure but I think you have too many inputs and outputs. A 4 bit adder has two input bits plus a carry-in bit, and it has one output bit plus a carry-out bit. If you want to really make this an educational scene, you can show the truth table for a 4-bit full adder.

What does "ryryryryryr" mean?

Thanks Leaderboard!

Good job on the lizard! And welcome back to Algobox!

@Little -- I think I know what your problem is. Do you have more than 3 fingers?

scriptadius -- I made that comment nearly seven years ago, but I still think the scene is bizarre. You can call it "Undertale" if you want to, but I call it WEIRD!

Nice job! I especially like the springy shock absorbers that soften a hard landing.

Suggestion: If you add a little damping (about 0.8) to both springs then the machine won't be so bouncy when it lands.

Did you accidentally upload an unfinished version of this scene? Nothing seems to be working.

I don't know if you are seeing this, but the time setting number boxes that are directly under the "hours" "minutes" and "seconds" colored boxes are invisible because the text color is the same as the background color. If I manually change the text color to white, then I can see the numbers.

What "calculations" did you need to do for this scene?

Okay, now I understand it. You did a great job on the scene overall but I would not want this type of clock on a wall in my house!

Is this scene supposed to teach something?

I know what Moiré patterns are, and when it comes to interesting things like science and other techy subjects I have a very long attention span. And of course I can read an analog clock because I'm (way) over 40 years old. What threw me off when I first ran the scene were three things: 1. The Moiré patterns were changing so slowly that it didn't seem like anything was happening. 2. As algodooper noted, the clock is missing hands. That assumption was made because there is a central pivot where hands would normally be attached. 3. I assumed the digits in those hidden boxes were not displaying because of a coding error on your part (I should know better after playing your scenes for over ten years!).

Oh, Okay.

Amazing! You did exactly what I was thinking of doing but you beat me to it! Either I was reading your mind or you were reading mine! LOL

(Great minds think alike)
