New in Algodoo Physics 2.0.1 (Jan 3, 2012)

  • News:
  • Play mode - press ctrl-space to strip the user inteface from all superflous menus, leaving only the ability to play with the scene using drag tool and the knife.
  • When loading a scene, a popup will show the scene description, if any.
  • Geometry generation from opaque images (background removal). Just drag an image into Algodoo from either a browser of your desktop. Works best with clip-art like images.

  • tab toggles hide/show windows.
  • New Thyme scripting features including:
  • New and better script menu.

  • Improvements:
  • A polygon with a circular outer shell will now roll much smoother on planes and boxes.
  • Improved support for drag-and-drop of images from web browser into Algodoo. It now works with Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
  • Turning a circle into a polygon (for instance by scaling or doing CSG) will now conserve its area (used to be off by about 0.1%).
  • Bug fixes:
  • Bug causing rotate not to be undoable.
  • Bug where moving a spring would sometimes change it's strength and/or damping.
  • Bug when calculating rotational kinetic energy for bodies that made it appear as if energy was increasing when in fact it was not.

  • Bug where using scale tool would change selection after scaling was completed.
  • Many stability fixes.
