/sci/ - Science & Math

I already beat that game a while ago.

I have the coconut holding bay (CHB) at the bottom of the cart which holds the exact number of coconuts I need, then I have the motor inside the CHB which pulls down trapdoor and keeps it held down, thus allowing me to drive freely without those pesky coconuts from escaping

>>3432889
what_the_fuck_am_i_doing.jpg

DEM HILLS

>>3432918
what the fuck is that

>>3432930
i nearly made one that worked! its cant do hills though...

Does anyone remember the threads on /r9k/ where several people made cannons and motors that actually flung the coconuts?

It was a long time ago.

>>3432956
ever hear of Incredifriends.com

its like the same thing that uses the same engine.

I AM SHIVA GOD OF DEATH

You have to gun it, full speed ahead, but gets all coconuts in about 15 seconds. But sometimes the coconuts fly out. Multiple trials of this design show that it's possible to get them all in. Like I said, sometimes the coconuts don't settle properly and sometimes the cart makes crazy bounces and hits differently, so some bounce out.

>2011
>not using a wheel to lock your CHB

One or two coconuts fell off before I got to the end. Got an 84% with this design.

>>3432956
Holy shit yes, I remember when we first played this game. I remember it was taken down after a short time, glad to see we can play it again.

So close

all coconuts in 17 seconds.
come at me bro.

got a 96% with this thing

>>3432986
Modified slightly.
What now bitches?
Slow on the first and last hill. Ramp off the other two.

RIDE TO LIVE
LIVE TO RIDE

Another 83-84% one. Decent speed.

>>3432985
this thing got me 93%
as long as you gun it with this you'll make it in 22 seconds or so

>>3433022
Improved

16 seconds, 15/15 coconuts, 99%.

>>3433041
me 2, pics or it didn't happen.

>>3432865

I got 99% once, I was so very mad.

>>3433050

Stop pretending to be EK.
She is gone and will never come back.
Deal with it.

Here's my design, got 15/15, 99% and 15 seconds.

Proof of efficiency coming in next post.
I had to back off the speed a little bit in some spots, but it works pretty well.

Even a big wheel on its own takes about 12 seconds to get to the choppa, and thats with no coconuts or extra weight at all. 16 seconds is pretty amazing.

I actually got this down to 15 seconds, but print screening shaved of time gonna try to get the 2 sec

>>3433114
and here's the proof of efficiency:

feelsgoodman.jpeg

>>3433114
fuck, or not, thanks a lot captcha.
can design good cart, can't delete posts.

this is how /sci/ rolls

There it is

>>3433115
When you finish the clock pauses and it tallies up your score, you shouldn't lose any time for print screening.
is 16 seconds still the best confirmed result?

>>3433130
It has to land, the coconuts arn't in yet. you probably waste at least another second doing that.

>>3433134
see: >>3433128

>>3433134
Nah brah, I got 15 seconds.
See here:

No I landed it in
it clocks 15

I can't into 14 seconds

>>3433196

Meh I actually got 99 percent on my first run I don't know what i did different

>>3433200
the simplest designs seem to be the best, for the sake of speed. I got 99% with a car that had a door like in
>>3432908

>>3433208

>>3433212
Forgot pic...

>>3433235

How they rate efficiency it full retard. Any fifth grader than make a car that carries all the coconuts under 15 seconds given unlimited material.

I aimed for material efficiency. If anyone can get a better rating with less or the same number of parts I used, then, and only then are you:

EFFICIENT AS FUCK!

>pic related, it's a vehicle that's efficient as fuck

>>3433235
troll...

>>3433251

>edit: Any fifth grader CAN* make

>>3433251

aaaaaaaaaand I just beat my old score with a slightly modified design.

EFFICIENT AS FUCK

Damn, /sci/, step up your game.

Well I got mine to shove its wheels in through the fllor of the car...

>>3433251

They also have the bright idea of having you shred the whole vehicle with the coconuts. I'm trying to use a flap at the front that will let me dump them out while keeping the car out of the shredder.

>>3433335

lol you sound like someone I would want on my team for a school project.

I'm experimenting as well. I've noticed that the circles drastically affect the weight of the car. So right now I'm tinkering with the idea of a circle attached to the car by a single shock so it acts as a kind of dynamic stabilizing mechanism.

>>3433251
There really should be some sort of penalty for materials used.
I had to add the vertical beams because I kept losing some of the coconuts

I have to say I was a bit surprised myself. I guess that misplaced line helped stabilizing the cart.

>>3433348

Turns out the weight mechanism was inefficient, so I dropped it like a bag of dirt.

I got an even more efficient score with less parts than the original.

11 total parts
15/15 cocunts
18 seconds

>>3433415

Ok, just give me 5 minutes to put together some easy shit out of 50 million parts and get 100% efficiency.

>>3433354 here
Decided to try out a efficient build and it worked out pretty fine.
10 parts, 11 seconds.

>>3433426
Beat 11s(15/15), then you can justify your boisterous attitude.

>>3433426

See, took me about 2 minutes to get a score of 98%

>>3433434

That's impressive, mad props to you.

>>3433438

Fair enough.

>>3433450
16 sec is still kinda shitty...

>>3433456
Thanks. I have to admit, though, that it is damn unstable. Took me dozens of trys to get a perfect run after desinging.

>>3433468

I agree, but given the time constraint it's not bad.

I'm about about to do it in 11 seconds or less given a little bit more time to perfect my design, which will be easy as fuck, because I get unlimited parts.

Eat shit, /sci/.

Sincerely,
a phylosophy major with 83% efficiency.

>>3433486

Easy

You don't have to be smart to do this.

i win

>>3433529
Make it 15/15 and you will.

>>3433528
>>3433528
This is the cart I used btw.

Why does example cart of "an efficient cart design" fall apart as soon as you start it?

>>3433550
I mean, if their default cart doesn't make it 5 feet, I don't see how that's supposed to give inspiration to keep playing.

>>3433302
8 parts.

>>3433576

NICE!

9 parts, 9 seconds 15/15

>>3433624

HOLEE SHIT

Now that's efficiency, show us your design

>>3433636
Not much to look at...

>>3433655
Now THAT's pod racing!

I tried making a tank, but the tread didn't work very well.

When I use the example cart, the camera follows perfectly. When I make my own cart, it just stays fixed on some retarded point early in the level. So it's pretty much unplayable.

Firefox...

>>3433668

are you me?

I literally just tried that like five minutes.

>>3433671
You probably put parts behind the menu, the game is glitchy like that.
Try cleaning up any loose parts.

Coconut cannons are the way to go.

My cart
It keeps falling apart
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT STOP. OH GOD PLEASE JUST STOP.

>>3433680

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Oh god, I can't stop laughing!

Fuck Yea

>>3433684

It's like staring at god having sex

Fucking brilliant.

>>3433681

Thanks.

psh, that's like my 2nd cart.

>>3433705
lol thanx, I used really big wheels so it covers large distances a designed a basket safe enough that I could motor cross,into the pit. I catch like 3 seconds of air on the last hill but i take off after the first downhill, wish we could syntube this I wanna see if that cannon works

lol here's my shitty canon design.

about 80% of it is non-functional. just left overs from a previous scrapped design.

are you even trying

>>3433762

>>3433799

Alright, so I tweaked my canon like a mofo.

Here it is. Works fairly well.

What do I win?

>>3433814

Neat. Ever consider doing a contraption like the tennis ball shooters? i.e. the balls are squeezed between two spinning wheels at high speed and shot out.

>>3433844

afaik, you can't do that because the wheels only turn one direction at a time and a tennis ball shooter has the wheels turn in opposite directions.

meh

>>3433835

Sorry, don't know how

>>3433829

aerospace engineer major :)

>>3433853
I think you can use a circle (supposedly) as a gear. So you can have one wheel turning the circle, the other circle making direct contact with the coconuts.

I haven't had much luck with the circles, though.

>>3433916

We can get at least another second gentlemen, science wills it.

>>3433916
Figured it out... Apparently circles only spin if they're attached to "shocks."

I ain't pretty, and it hardly even works. ;_;

>>3433946

yeah one coconut is all I ever got with a canon too.
It would have to be a ridiculously well designed cannon that could shoot all 15 into the goal.

But cannons are more for novelty than efficiency.

I'm hoping somebody comes up with something else for novelty.

>>3433844

Turns out it doesn't work that well...

>>3433434
i copied your cart exactly and got this epic fail o i'm going to call bullshit.

all you people pulling 11 to 15 second time are photoshopping. its takes a few seconds just to release all the coconuts

HOLY FUCK THIS GAME IS BACK?! I thouught it had died years ago, i've been settling for the simple buggy-as-fuck Nitrohaul game.

>>3433970

You're doing it wrong.

Do you have the particles one, I liked that.

Got 91% with my little buggy :D

You guys are all stupid.

Smaller front wheel = constant downhill.

>>3433983

No, it's just that he did it multiple times. There's a small amount of luck involved. It's really just chaos theory.

>small differences in how the coconuts fall
>small differences in the angle of the wheels
>small differences in the angle of the lines
>small differences in the acceleration
>small differences in the angle of impact

All of that adds up to big differences in the time and stability of a specific run.

>>3433987
o rly?

I'm an engineering major

>>3433970

However, this mechanism has potential...

>>3433927
>filename
lol

>>3434019
improved it a little, got 100% :D \m/

I'd say this design is decent considering I spent a whopping 30 seconds making it. My shoddy driving led to spillage, sadly.

ITT: Hey look what a funny design I made

i think the speed of your computer also matters. on my little netbook i watch the timer move at a normal speed counting off the seconds. while my cart is laggy as fuck and moving all slow and choppy.

Let's fucking go!

even if I just use a ball it takes me like 19 seconds to get to the end.

what am I doing wrong?

;_;

this reminds me of fantastic contraption, but less good.

>>3434397
The game runs faster with a better cpu.

>>3434409
yeah, I was an idiot and installed 32 bit ubuntu instead of 64 bit after my root partition died (all I had on my thumbdrive as I installed it on a friends laptop) for some reason it only recognises 1 core of my amd shitty quad core.

though that happened before with 64 bit distros, so it might be an unrelated bios/cmos error, this mobo was cheap as shit.

yay

Over 9000 hours of work resulted in second most perfect truck i had. The first one which passed the course in 13 seconds was lost to history as i tried to improve it, without success.

But this design boasts a locking mechanism which attaches itself firmly over the cargo, staying on even if truck flips over (which does not stop it due to it's massive wheels) while in the air.

I vote we all play this, far more different angles we can take.

http://fantasticcontraption.com/

And making caterpillar treads is fun as fuck.

Make your cart very wide, with very large wheels on each side. Chances are it won't ever flip.

the annoying thing is that the time is mostly dependant on your computer speed

>>3433671
How can the camera follow the default cart if it doesn't go through the level.

Literally the first thing that happens to the default cart after I click "start" is it slumping to the ground, before I can even drop the coconuts onto the mass of parts. I can drag the mess a little bit off the starting platform, but not far.

>>3435747

I missed the other 9 second one. I liked this one, though, because his design was very similar to mine.

All Hail to the Flying Truck

>>3435782
Honestly, a lot of luck. Even just saying "fuck the coconuts" and making 2 giant tires tied together you have trouble going faster than 8 seconds.

The run I did 9 seconds on had a perfect launch on the 2nd to last hill that catapaulted me right into the grinder. I seem to average 11-13 seconds with the same machine.

>>3434338
>>3434889

Me again. I finally managed to get 13 seconds. When trying to get better (it takes my computer 11 seconds to get across the screen minimum) this happened.

how do you all make these elaborate fucking tops to your vehicles? whenever i try a similar structure, it just bounces around and hinders things

under 13 secs it's all fucking luck - if you get launched at the wrong angle you're fucked

also, I want to see someone make a giant stationary wheel that catapults the coconuts, possibly with a stationary ramp segment in the beginning (you can build under the menu)

>>3435836

you mean like these?:

>>3436452

Hahaha. They probably couldn't handle our traffic.

Sucks, though.

Not bad for a modification of a first attempt (2nd run)

This games fun

I think its possible with 3 lines, 1 flexible connection and 1 wheel to get 100%. Only 10 coconuts yet.

well well well

Tanks are fucking awesome but little slow
84 percent isn't bad though

So I gotta ask, is this what the example cart is supposed to do? Seems like something is wrong.

heheheh, problem? (image reply reached)

>>3437587
how do you into cannon usage?

>>3437603
I've tried large wheels and lots of small wheels but even when I get them gapped right they just don't fly.

As for how to do it at all, you have to make a structure that reaches up and over where the coconuts start then just suspend wheels from it with fucktons of suspension.

Then balance your device afterwards to keep it from moving and fucking up the settings.

ramps need to be sufficiently overlapped, or need to have the shock line attachements connected to them.
