I have tried the new beta and this happened.

All of the UI elements are completely invisible.

Enter the following in the console (press F10):

GUI.useBuffering = false

Does this help?

Can you give me your logfile.txt:s? My Documens/Algodoo/Logfile.txt - paste in e.g. http://pastebin.com/

I had not previously tried specifying values higher than 2 so don't know if this is new of not.

On the subject of friction, what do these values equate to in the 'real world' ? The highest values I have seen mentioned when I research this top out at slightly < 2, and that is for static friction. In the situations I am simulating, the surfaces are moving relative to each other and so would be more subject to kinetic frictional coefficients - or more accurately rolling friction, which has even lower values in most circumstances.

Does Algodoo 'figure out' what kind of frictional forces are occurring between objects, i.e., static, kinetic, or rolling? If not, should I set the frictional values manually according to what interactions various components will have with each other?


Nothing has changed with friction in 2.1.0, only that you can now drag the slider to infinity. And true, few materials in the real world has a friction as high as 2.

Algodoo does not have rolling friction.

tadietz wrote:One other thing, I have noticed for beta 2.1.0, I can't seem to find a way to run Algodoo in other than full screen mode and cannot even minimize it. Is this working as designed? I noticed it on 2.1.0 b8 and am now on 2.1.0 b10, both of which exhibit the same behavior.

Thanks for any insights.


File -> Toggle fullscreen not working for you? How about F11?

Somehow I failed to see file -> toggle fullscreen (and forgot about F11). Thanks - works either way.

Great! But do you have a touch screen or a touch device of any kind? I need to know, because if not, then my touch screen detection is obviously broken.


No, emilk, i don't have a touchscreen laptop. It's a regular laptop with Windows 7 installed on it.

Algodoo is an advanced piece of software, and takes advantage of shaders to produce the visual effects with high performance with little trade off for quality. If you have a desktop PC, you will be able to meet this requirement with a cheap update, with a new graphics card with minimum openGL version of 2.0.

Sorry, but it appears that your GPU is too outdated for Algodoo.

Your openGL version is 1.4, and the minimum required version for Algodoo to run is 2.1.
If your on a desktop PC, it is possible to upgrade the graphics card fairly cheap.
When asking for help, READ THE STICKIES!
