Algodoo

Yup, it spins the water.


BTW - Welcome back to Algobox!

Just so you know, when you add a lot of water to a scene (like this one), it will cause computer lag especially for people who have older computers or other devices. Lag is when the scene runs very slowly or kind of choppy. No one like that at all, so please try to limit the amount of water in your future scenes. Thanks!

"Test for Bessler wheel forum"

FORUM???? Are you serious? There's actually a forum dedicated to a silly free-energy contraption? I hate to be the one to break the news to you but people have been trying and failing to make a working Bessler wheel for a very long time. They refuse to understand that you cannot create energy out of nothing! But, with Algodoo, there's hope! Yes, with the right adjustments you can make Algodoo defy the laws of physics and your Bessler wheel will magically rotate with no energy input!

Cool math monster!

No, you're wrong! Every one of these polygons has points on it. Some have many points!

It's not! Africa is about 14.5 times the land surface area of Greenland. Greenland is an island nation and Africa is a continent made up of many countries. The two land masses are totally different from each other.

What made you ask such a weird question?

Great explanation, Little!

WHY?

Specify.

Problem: Your dark chess pieces are the same color as the dark squares which makes them very difficult to see.

Suggestion: Use different dark colors for the pieces and the squares.

No, sorry. I don't make planes. I think my comments got confused with
kahaanS comments. That may have been my fault. Sorry again for the confusion.

I agree with s_noonan. These tools could be very handy for users while developing their Algodoo scenes.

Riley12345 -- Please write sensible comments. I cannot understand your gibberish.

Little -- I have a suggestion for the tree generator. I noticed that after generating a tree, all of its components (leaves, branches, trunk) are not grouped together. So, when I tried to move the tree by grabbing the trunk, only the trunk moved by itself. My suggestion is to group all of the components during the generation process. Of course a user can do that manually, but having the tree components already grouped would be a nice touch (IMHO).

You can make the camera follow the cars automatically if you wanted to. Here's how:

1. Delete that tiny square that currently makes the camera follow it with the arrow keys.

2. Select all of the marbles while they are lined up ready to race. It's Okay to also include those red separators and invisible bars because those things will disappear when the race starts. With the marbles selected, right click on any of those selected marbles, then hover your cursor over "Selection". In the right panel click the checkbox "Follow". Then save the scene. That's it! The camera will now follow ALL of the marbles as a group! No need to puts around with the arrow keys!

Oh, one more note: The user may need to zoom in or out during the race in order to see all the marbles at the same time.

What version Algodoo do you have?

Awesome!

USA, Why?

That's the version I use too, and I have no problem. Could you be more specific on exactly what you cannot do? Obviously you can access the Algobox portion of the website because you can read and write comments!

Oh, wait... You said that you use Edge as your browser. That might be the problem. I use FireFox. I will switch to Edge and see if that makes any difference. I'll be back shortly.

Okay, I am now using Microsoft Edge browser and everything seems to be working.

It might have something to do with the fact that this website is not secure, so you might need to adjust your security settings in your browser in order to allow it to access non-secure websites (http rather than https). But I don't know why you can write comments! If that was the problem then you would not be able to do that!

Nugget - You can "edit" this scene with disabled clouds.

Do you use the Algodoo built-in browser for saving scenes? If so, you would be much happier if you use a standard browser like Edge or FireFox. Then you could have done an "edit" instead of deleting and uploading the scene again.

I cannot make the paddle hit the ball. What controls that?


Updated info: I see what happens. Occasionally the ball will get stuck in a horizontal movement as it bounces from one side to the other. When it does that, the ball never bounces at an angle which would allow it to move toward the paddle. A fix for that would be to introduce a small random velocity up or down each time the ball hits a side wall.

No worries, ALgodooper, it's not blood, just red colored water!

Only YOU can answer that question!

If you SUBSCRIBE to your own scenes then you won't have to "check them" to see if anyone left a comment. The words "New messages" will show up along the top of your Algobox pages, and when you click on it, you will see the links to every new comment! I subscribe to EVERY scene that I left a comment in. Then I will know when anyone replies to my comments.

Sometimes Algodoo parameters can become corrupted or changed by a scene. That happens when someone creates a scene that changes certain parameters (such as how water behaves) and the scene does not reset the parameters back to default values when the scene closes. Default values are how the parameters were originally configured when the app was downloaded by you. The best way to make sure that all of your Algodoo parameters are set back to default values is to do a "Reset". You can do that in one of two ways. 1. With Algodoo loaded on your device, click the little white gear in the upper left corner (next to "File"). In the menu that shows, click on the word "Reset" and follow instructions. 2. Download the latest version from the Algodoo website for your particular device. Either one of those methods should fix your water issues.

It's because people like you leave comments!

Back in the "old days" when telephones were analog and they used tone activated switching circuits we were able to use a Captain Crunch whistle to make free long-distance phone calls! (Ummm... that practice was illegal so I never actually did it.)


Captain Crunch Whistle

Okay, sounds interesting. Go for it!
