Visible Gravity Field
I think it would be very helpful with some scenes that use magnets if you could see their magnetic field. It could be like a circle coming out from the object that slowly fades away as the power of the magnet gets weaker.
Of course with the attraction fall off that makes the magnet attract with the same power no matter the distance, you wouldn't have the magnetic field circle, cause that'd just be annoying.

Re: Visible Magnetic Field
This would be impossible because there are actually no magnets in Phun or Algodoo. Joking aside, there is a feature in Algodoo that shows you the gravity field of objects.
Btw, update your signature.

Re: Visible Magnetic Field
I personally like this idea. As RicH said there are no magnets but the attraction property still acts as a magnet when applied to a object so this could probley be done. This would be helpful if Algodoo is used for education.

Re: Visible Magnetic Field
Remember, it's not a magnet, and it doesn't act like a magnet.
Also, this is what the gravity field looks like:

Re: Visible Magnetic Field
Okay, I admit that there are no phun magnets, but you get what I mean. And yes, that picture is pretty much what I meant. You have a field of color that shows the gravity field, and it gets dimmer the further away it gets.

Re: Visible Gravity Field
I don't really get what you mean by visible. Do you mean a circle around the object that slowly becomes transparent?

Re: Visible Gravity Field
Oh. That shouldn't be too hard to ceatethen. Mind you, I wouldn't know as I have no coding experience at all.
