Circles look like the thing near my mouse, and a red thing blinks where the circle that says "where the red thing is", but you can't see it that much in this screenshot.

Looks like a rendering issue...
Have you ran the hardware tool thats in the system menu by default? (propriety drivers?)

[Someone Else]

I have a similar problem!

Yay! I'm not alone!

Emil says it's probably because of a really crummy graphics card.

I don't think it is because of a bad graphics card, because in Phun, circles loook fine, and in Algodoo, if the circles are big enough, they look fine.

Algodoo uses more resources and uses newer libraries (or whatever their called)...? Phun is older, and therefore will work better on older cards, methinks.

[electronicboy]

yeah, algodoo 1.9.* uses a new rendering engine that is better, but requires more upto date hardware

[Someone Else]

For me, it's with circles that are fully opaque.

Try turning off shaders

[cocolover76]

Most computers nowadays come with embedded GPUs which arn't powerful enough to run algodoo properly any-more...

Mine came with a graphics card and a GPU and stuff....

WAIT.....

Circles are working fine now.
Maybe my CPU was getting mad because my CPU almost always gets mad at a CPU-eater, like Algodoo when it is making a circle. (After all, I am using a free OS.)
