Well... This is my first thread and post so I'll make it good. Maybe you guyz should add a tool creator like you can make your own tools.

EX:
Triangle Tool [To make triangles easier without the Polygon tool.]
Grid Tool [Already exists.]
Script Tool [Gives a list of scripts for you to insert.]
Polygon Tool Pro [Gives a list of any type of shape you want to instert.]

If you make this it would be much easier to build. :lol:

You can make a triangle easily with the polygon tool.
The grid is available in Algodoo.
Algodoo/A:PE was designed as a physics sandbox not a scripting sandbox. If you want to have scripts in a scene go learn a bit of thyme.
You can use karatebrot's polygon making scene for the "polygon tool pro."

AFAIK, no game can ever do that. The game can't tell what you want. :\

phun is not a miracle. It is programed using the completely known and understood laws of macroscopic physics. A tool creator, at this point in history, would be a miracle. I assume that since you're ten, you wouldn't want the creator to be script-based. what you are asking for is an artificially intelligent tool that can translate any of your ideas into a tool. artificial intelligence is not yet fully understood. the most prestigious labs in the world are still trying to figure it out.

You need to learn a lot then before making any suggestions.

Give the kid a break. He probably assumed, like most kids, that computers were near-magic and could think for themsleves and all you had to do was tell it to do something and it would automatically do it.

I would have loved it if someone took the time to teach me instead of assuming that since I'm 10, they should go easy on me and teach me how to play reader rabbit.

I'm not trying to argue, but I DONT think computer is magic. I could brake into my computer naw, but then I'll break it. Before 5.28 came out I used 4.22, played it when I was 7. Oh and my uncle was the one who found phun. :|

A computer is simply a set of wires with electricity running through them. some wires have electricity in them, some wires don't. the wires can change which has electricity and which doesn't by going through "gates" (special sets of wires that can change ability for a wire to keep its electricity). A program (like phun) is basically instructions that tell the computer which wires to turn on and off.

This is an EXTREMELY simplified version of what goes on. As you can see, there is no miracle here. the miracle at this point in time would be a "tool creator"

BTW, if you're actually interested in how your computer works, PM me and I can teach you from the ground up. Like I said, When I was a kid, I had so many questions about computers, but all they ever taught me was how to play reader rabbit's picnic party.

you can create tools easily - use thyme functions for that. i made some functions before(not shown to public - still need debugging), like ammo spawners, circle-based softwheels, ball bearings :P , and even a tank spawner(2 second lag included)...

they are easy to do, but not UI-implementable...

You also assumed that he assumed computers were magic.
You were wrong then as well.

I never assumed he believed they were magic. RicH did. I was working off the fact that he thought PHUN was a miracle.

Same difference.
Anyway, this would be a good idea if altered slightly.
Like a "clipboard" type thing.

not same difference. You accused me of assuming. I didn't assume anything. The kid said himself that he tough PHUN was a miracle. maybe we should read the poss before opening our big mouth, hmmm? :|

If you want to put it that way, let's get technical.
"You" can be plural or singular. I made no specifications as to whether I meant it in singular or plural.
It was posted earlier in the topic that,
He probably assumed, like most kids, that computers were near-magic

in using "You" I grouped all the topic's posters together and referred to them with "You".
I stated that the assumption was posted, which was true. I, however, cannot be validly accused of false accusations due to my word choice. In addition, before telling me to,
...read the pos[t]...

you may want to have your own facts straight. It was Sonic who posted regarding kids' assumptions toward electrical magic.

The hell, if considering Phun a MIRACLE and that it was possible to create a tool from mere ideas isn't magic, I don't know what is.

ok, I failed a bit there. I never stated that I agreed with sonic. RicH never said that either. (well, he kinda did just now, but disregard that.) You assumed that everybody who posted was in total agreement. a silly assumption if you notice the little banter being thrown around before you posted.

I didn't assume it was total agreement, I assumed a general opinion. The same works in elections, they aren't going to get a 100% agreement, so they take the majority. It really isn't an assumption with a majority.

We're quite off topic however...
