Density in Algodoo off?

Postby Gamedesk » Wed Mar 06, 2013 2:03 am

I noticed that the density of water in Algodoo is 1 and the density of air in algodoo is .01. This would suggest that water is 100 times more dense than air. In reality however, water is nearly 1000 times more dense than air. This is off by a magnitude of 10 and thus is no small error. Is there a reason for this? Is it a mistake or are my facts wrong?

Thanks

Welcome to this forum.

I think it's not mistake. Algodoo is 2D, and real world is 3D.

Hi, Algodoo lovers. Have you read next topic? Featured scenes suggestions
To translators: English.cfg changelog will be useful (even for me).
