Algodoo

Did you see my version? Flies On Poop

7.71 / 0.96 is my best score after about 20 runs. I do not believe vaidas369's score. He must have cheated some how.

FLAWLESS! Works perfectly now. Good job!

I see a big laser and a small white box. But that's all! When I start Algodoo, nothing happens. Please explain what this scene is supposed to do.

Also, you uploaded two other duplicate scenes that I deleted. If you need to make changes to a scene, either use the "Edit" tab, or create a new scene, and delete the old one. That way Algobox won't be cluttered up with redundant scenes. Thanks!

Xray - Admin

How the heck can you make a marble race with stick figures? They do not roll very well! But it does sound interesting, and possibly a lot of fun.

Maybe you could make an example scene that demonstrates how it works so that others will know what you are suggesting?

Thanks

Oh, by the way. If you do make a scene with stick figures and dialogue, make sure that the scene is dynamic (that is, it DOES something). If the scene is nothing but static images, it will be deleted. Algodoo is a physics simulation program. It is not a drawing or art program.

Thanks again

Thanks faytree! Take a look at the message that I left for you in the forum.
What's Happening With Algodoo?

Funny!

I see OLIdeluxeXD likes it too!

When digital readouts are difficult to read because of jitter from too many decimal places being displayed, use this code to reduce the precision and smooth the jitter (the constant 10000 can be changed to change the digits of precision. The number of zeros == the number of decimal places)....

math.tofloat(math.toint((variable or equation) *10000)) / 10000

I don't know why he is no longer active on Algobox. Maybe his is just too busy with school or something else. I hope he will return soon when he has more free time.

LasRom - You don't understand because you are from Russia? Well, then, I feel sorry for people who live in Russia. People who live in the U.S.A do not have a problem with understanding things.



EDIT: Of course I was just kidding. It was funny the way LasRom made the statement that he doesn't understand because he is from Russia. I know that he was referring to his limited understanding of the English language, but it sounded like he was saying that because he is from Russia, there is something wrong with him that prevents him from understanding things. I know that isn't true because many very smart people are from Russia. It was so funny the way he said it, and I just had to respond to it.

There is a similar scene: Chain Reaction

Interesting demo. But Please explain about ClassObject with children:. I believe that is from Object Oriented Programming (OOP) but how can Thyme interpret that? Also, what is this -> {} and how does it work? This stuff is new to me.

Thanks

Please answer my questions.

1. What is ClassObject with children? I never heard of that before. How does Algodoo know what that is?

2. What is this -> {}? I have never seen that before in any scripts. What does it do?

lololoer - Thanks for explaining that! I understand what you said, and it was very helpful, but I still do not understand how ClassObject with children is used in script. When I type those words in the console, Algodoo says that it's undefined. So, is ClassObject with children an actual intrinsic function, or is it simply a text comment that kilinich used to describe his code?

He lists his code, which I'm sure can be very useful, but he does not explain the details of how it works. Without the details, a user, such as myself, has no way of knowing how to use it in scenes.

Thanks again, lololoer!

COOL!

So, if ClassObject with children is only a text comment, then how is it used in script without Algodoo giving an error message? That's the part that I do not understand.

For example: If I type in the console, ThisIsAcomment then Algodoo will give an error message that says "undefined". So, why doesn't Algodoo give an error message when it sees ClassObject with children in the script that kilinich wrote?

Okay, thanks. Maybe kilinich will explain it.

It made me puke all over my keyboard.

Uh Oh! This gun has a very dangerous flaw (if it were a real gun). After cycling the bolt, I flipped the fire selector to "semi" and the gun started firing by itself in FULL AUTO!

By the way, have you tried making any non-firearm type of gun, such as a BB or pellet gun? There are many different types of BB gun mechanisms that range from single pump spring action, to multiple pump air guns, to CO2 guns and rifles. It might be fun for you to make some of those types of guns! What do you think?

Now when I pull the bolt back, it does not go forward into battery. It seems like the spring is too weak.

Wow! This is very relaxing! I definitely did not experience "extreme euphoria", but my breathing and heart rate noticeably slowed down after a few minutes. I'm going to try this out over a period of a few days in order to see how effective it really is, as apposed to a possible one-time placebo effect (which may be due to my expectation of it having a significant calming effect). I'll report back to you in a few days.

Now it works as expected. Good job!

Thank you Doctor Phil.

The red and blue boxes in the receiver get stuck when they move to the right side of the receiver. They will no longer move to the left after that.


By the way, welcome back to Algobox! I hope to see more of your "high tech" scenes in the future.

This is confusing.

By the way, I notice that you use "keys.bind" in your script. NOT GOOD! Here is a comment in the Algodoo forum from user electronicboy: "You should NEVER use Keys.bind inside Algodoo scenes, it is not supported for the use in scenes, and messes up everyone's config files"

Use: keys.isDown("key name") ? {}:{} instead.

Thanks!

Yup. Taxes are due March 15 for Corporations.

I think so! My headache was only mild this time, so I wonder how it would work with a real nasty one!

BTW - Are you still having issues with Algobox when using Google Chrome? Another admin noticed the same thing. We are trying to contact someone at Algoryx to fix the problem. I use IE, and have no problems with it.

Nice! You have MY vote for more BB and Pellet guns.

I'm curious how you are going to do a multi-pump type of BB air gun!

Yes, of course. Most script I learned from other people.

Thanks!
