Algodoo

Yes, of course I do.

This scene was created by Luka. He probably spent many hours making it, and you probably spent two minutes copying it and uploading it. Why don't you spend some time to make your own scenes instead of copying other people's scenes?

When I load the scene, a BIG message shows that says it belongs to LUKA! So, don't lie to me by trying to make me believe that you did not copy it from him. I'm not that stupid.

Why did you leave that Message in the scene that reads "Luka's Marble Package"? I suggest that you delete that message and then upload the scene again. If you leave that message in the scene, then people will think that it was made by Luka and you stole it from him. So, go ahead and remove that message and then everything will be Okay.

Load the scene, and then save it, but before you save it, CHANGE the author's name from Luka to theracer5000, and then delete the current description and replace that text with some other text. Then after you've saved the scene, upload it to Algobox OR replace the existing scene by Editing it (if you could). That's all there is to it!!

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE DOING THAT, THEN I COULD DO IT FOR YOU. JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES FOR YOU.

Why did you say such a nasty thing in Spanish? I am trying to HELP you fix the scene. I did not say that I don't believe you. Do you have trouble understanding English? Read my last comment again and you will see that I tried to explain how to change your scene so that it doesn't show that message from Luka. If you do not want my help then let me know, Okay? But do not say any more nasty things in Spanish like you did before, Okay?

Well, it's your choice but keep in mind that NO ONE who uses the latest version of Algdoo (which is MOST everyone) will be able to play your scenes. You will have a very small group of followers!

Why did you upload an unfinished scene? For what purpose is it?

Why LOL? It isn't funny at all.

Erich - I read your comment where you said that "you don't want to start the scene, it should be art." Well, Algodoo is not an "art" or drawing program. It is a physics simulation program that is used for creating dynamic or "action" type scenes. And those are the kind of scenes that we want uploaded to Algobox. So, if you want to make art scenes with Algodoo, that's fine by me but please do not upload them to Algobox. I usually delete "art" scenes that do nothing because that's not what Algobox is about.

Thanks,

Xray (Algodoo Admin)

jcharlesk - There's more to it than just having something "moving". In case you didn't know, Algobox is NOT about marble races. Yes, marble races have become popular with some users, especially the younger crowd, and that's Okay. But the original intent for Algobox is to have a place for Algodoo users to share their scenes which display various kinds of physical actions. It is a place to promote Algodoo, the program, and it is NOT a place where kids can get together and do nothing else but race marbles with each other. I wish there was a separate website where the marble race crowd can go and do their marble races apart from everyone else, but unfortunately we don't have that.

Okay, so marble races are Okay, but I have to continuously watch that people don't turn it into nothing but a giant marble race website where people can place bets, vote on favorite marbles, and buy/sell stuff with Algodollars! If I did not put a lid on it, that's exactly what would happen. In order to prevent that from happening, I have to limit the type of scenes that are allowed. So, if you upload scenes that ask for votes, or scenes that display "results" of races, or scenes that display pictures of your favorite marble champions, then those scenes will get deleted, even if there might be something "moving" in it.

Sorry, but that's how it's going to be as long as I continue to be Admin here on Algobox.

Thanks

It doesn't have to make sense to you. You just need to accept the fact that there are rules, and there are good reasons for the rules. When people don't follow the rules, they get warned, and if they continue their unwanted behavior, then they get banned.

Thanks zaydenm! (My check is in the mail).

You can be the "Phun Master"!

When I start this scene, his tank immediately falls and keeps on falling, like forever. I believe that you are correct about it being a Phunlet. So maybe if he would save it like a normal scene instead of like a Phunlet, then it might make a difference. Can you try that FiveFingerDeathPanzer?

Clever simulated hydraulic (pneumatic) actuators!

Why? Is it too complicated for you to understand?

Why would you want to kill cops? Are you a criminal who hates cops?

When you create a tutorial scene, you should check your spelling so that you provide accurate information. In the scene, you spelled "inertiaMultiplier" incorrectly.

Epic?

Thanks, Marbles10!

Currently, I am the only full-time Admin on Algobox, although two other Admins occasionally help out. They are kilinich and electronicboy. Those guys mainly work the forum answering tech questions and deleting posts that break the rules (profanity, spam, etc). There are a few other Admins who used to be active on both Algobox and the forum, but I haven't heard much from them over the past year or so. I'm sure they would help out if we active Admins had to leave for an extended time period.

Here's a scene that makes two types of realistic-looking sparks. Maybe you can use one of those: Spark Generator

Now you do!

Cookman12 - Your scenes get deleted because you do not follow the rules. When I delete scenes I usually follow-up with a warning so that you will know WHY I deleted your scenes. In your case, two of the main reasons why they were deleted were:

1. You keep uploading copies of the same scenes over and over again. Too many duplicate scenes!

2. Your titles are usually nonsense gibberish like "asdasdasd" and "CCarcarrr" and "????????". A title should either describe what the scene does or what the scene is about. That way, other users will know right away what the scene is about before they download it.

When a user enters nonsense titles it shows that they are lazy or they just don't care about their scenes. I do not want that kind of user on Algobox.

Just curious, why not use the random number generators such as rand.uniform01, rand.normal, and rand.normal2D? They are much better than the hinge random number "trick" because you can select the kind of desired output range without having to do a lot of extra math.

s_noonan created three excellent scenes that show examples of the random number functions. To find them, do a search on the word "rand" with the Author's Name: "s_noonan". The search results should give you those three scenes.

Luka - What do you mean?

Weird scene? LOL! Okay, thanks (I think).

I drank all the water in the cell, but then nothing else happened. How do I go on to drink more cells? Your description says "... as you progress you get more cells to worrie about". Well, I did not get more cells.
