question from ex-phun user

hey guys, there is a function to 'make chain' in Phun , but the size of the chain is controlled by the zoom of the camera, so its not really easy to make things like sprockets which will mesh with the chains

does Algodoo have a better chain system?

In Algodoo a neat new feature is that you can make your own chain. Simple make 2 sections with the respective hinges, select it and click use as chain chain.

Then use the chain as normal.

Mystery, even if they do use that useful function, chain size is still dependant on zoom level.

Oh i kind of skim read that post.
With the grid its not too hard make a chain manually. That how i usually do it.

You can do that in phun, too

I was able to make a constant sized chain without the grid, so also in phun, but it used a complex spawner to create each part of the chain in sequence.
