/sci/ - Science & Math

Apparently on some people's computers, the game runs really fast. It runs really slow on mine: holding down the right-arrow button gets me to the other side in about 26 seconds; but I've heard of players reaching the end in 8 seconds or less.

>>5150363
What the fuck, it says drawing a part on another part attaches them... but the whole thing falls apart like it's not connected at all.

>>5150405
Oh, they're overlapping.

>>5150401
Make sure the parts are actually overlapping, and not just gently touching.

>>5150406
Screenshot it in editing mode.

Seriously. I just overlayed a cube overtop of another cube to test it... the both fell apart like the two don't even exist to each other, fell right through each other.

Holy fucking shit.
Bad fucking programming.

For demonstration purposes, block overlapping a block... they don't interact with each other. It literally just falls as if the other object doesnt exist.

I've tried this with the block on top, slightly overlapping, completely overlapping, the circle and the line do exactly the same.

Needs to be tested more before release, obvious issues.

>>5150421
When pieces connect, all connected pieces will flash once.

Try closing and reloading the tab. Sometimes it needs to be reset. I've managed to permanently lose coconuts by knocking them off the screen.

>>5150421
What all falls apart? Does every part fall off every other part? Or do some parts stay together?

>>5150431
All pieces flashed once.

Still fell through each other.

Optional challenge – create a vehicle that can traverse the landscape <span class="math">both~ways[/spoiler].

Mine gets stuck on the second-to-last ramp.

>>5150433
Only the arrow key controlled wheels have remained attached to the objects they are intended to. Haven't even tried suspension yet

>>5150429
>Bitching about a free online flash game that works for everyone else except him.

I bet you bitch about the quality of the peanut butter you get from the local charity too.

>>5150436
First of all, you're going to need to keep the wheels separate from the girders. If the wheels are attached to the girders, they won't spin.

I would advise not using circles or rectangles. All you really need are girders, wheels, and pistons.

Also, try refreshing the page, like that other guy said.

>>5150436
Tested suspension, it attaches as it should.

Solid objects will not attach to each other.
They simply don't interact.

Why is OP's so complicated.

>>5150441
That's not the problem.

Wheels work fine.

Solid objects wont interact with each other.

Refreshed 4 times already.

Solid objects still fall through each other as if they don't exist to each other.

Again, wheels work fine.

Solid objects do not interact.

>>5150446
Try fastening them together with like ten pistons.

>>5150441
Lies. You can attach wheels to girders and girders to wheels. The order is what matters.

If you attach the wheels last then they will spin. If you attach anything to an object, all attached wheels will become stuck, except if you attach a girder to a wheel. Then the girder will spin with the wheel.

There were loads of examples of catapults and centrifugal capture devices in the other thread.

>>5150446
Make a huge cross. Screencap it at the design stage. then screencap it after you start the run.

>>5150448
I could, but that's not the intended usage.

Whatever, other poster is right, why complain, I'll just use another game.

>>5150451
What I mean is that they won't function like wheels. The girders are affixed to the wheels, and will rotate with the wheels.

I have the same problem.

I want to see someone else get all of the coconuts out without releasing them.

>>5150437
I will not believe that this is possible until somebody does it.

Edit phase, huge cross.

and it falls apart

>>5150464
>>5150465
Huh.
Try it in another browser.

>>5150468
Not bothering to install another browser for a simple flash game... I'm just done. Peace.

93% efficiency cause it got stuck under the coconut drop part for 6 seconds.

>>5150465
What browser and OS are you using?

Have you tried restarting the browser?

>>5150472
But can it satisfactorily meet the optional challenge?

>>5150437
>>5150437

>>5150472

I got 100% here
>>5150445

>>5150437
>>5150459
Pfft, easy. I did it with a single big wheel.

Keep
It
Simple,
Stupid.

>>5150483
Fine, smartypants.
Make a vehicle that can successfully convey all fifteen coconuts to the end of the landscape and back again.

>>5150487

Easy...

>>5150499
That won't convey them back to the start of the map, even if it does successfully launch them to the end (which I doubt it will).

I can get 100% but doesn't do it consistently and thus needs some improvements, still I think it's one the right track.

>>5150487
Keep it simple

>>5150363
OP-inspired vehicle, we'll see how it fares in the next post

>>5150535
Haha, how did you even get them in there?

This didn't exactly work as planned.

>>5150541
Damn, got pretty far

>>5150532
Not working as intended

>>5150535
Better...

>>5150536
Trapdoor. See >>5150544

I think there's something wrong with this game on my computer. Even the sample cart doesn't hold together.

Does anyone know the record for this?

>>5150561
LEGIT record?
I dunno. The best I've seen is 100% @ 10 seconds, but someone's probably done better. My personal best is 0:13.

>>5150528
I don't believe you were able to successfully navigate that vehicle over the second-to-last ramp without spilling any coconuts.

I'm currently attempting it.

>>5150565
Get on my level

I managed to get back over the second-to-last ramp, but after all my careful manoeuvring, I ended up flipping my vehicle and spilling coconuts everywhere.

I managed to get back over the second-to-last ramp, but after all my careful manoeuvring, I ended up flipping my vehicle and spilling coconuts everywhere.

Yeah, I really don't think it's possible to convey all the coconuts to the end and back again. Getting over that second-to-last ramp is ridiculous.

>>5150527
I made some improvements over my original design, mainly adding shocks to negate some of the vertical and lateral forces on the coconuts and adding a sort of mass damper to help negate lateral forces and keep the coconuts in the cart.

It works surprisingly well. The wheels could use some work but the coconut containment mechanism is nearly perfect.

It is not possible to surmount the second-to-last ramp without either flipping your vehicle or getting stuck on the tip.

Yeah, I just don't think it can be done.

Yeah, I just don't think it can be done.

>>5150598
it can, i just did it
must recreate with screenshot

This doesn't seem to work very well.

RIP Centipede
2012–2012

>>5150568
ok

>>5150605
I don't know how to screenshot it in action but trust me my design works. not every time maybe 50%

>>5150605
>>5150613
I call bullshit. You've attached the wheels to the carriage by girders. I just replicated it, and it doesn't move.

>>5150615
Nevermind, I got it to move.
It still doesn't even come close to going over the second-to-last ramp, though.

It defiantly moves. You've got to attach the wheels to the girders not the other way around

>>5150619
fine i'll make a vid

>>5150630
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7urQ-Jvh7s

>>5150642
Hmm. So it does.
My design must be slightly off.

>>5150646
Indeed it does, try making wheels bigger

>>5150586
Or maybe you just suck. I just did it too.

Hmm, I can use the spring and a bar to make a door that closes over the coconuts.

Question: does processing speed affect physics?

>>5150621
Add a string of wheels between the two big ones, connect them to each other with the springs.

>>5150437
i dun fail'd

>>5150363
2easy4me

>>5150437
Easy, and mine can potentially cross the whole stage and back in the span on 5 seconds, given it plugs its legs just right in those protruding debris.

12 Seconds.
I added a counterweight to keep it from flipping forward.
I have to figure out a way to make the coconuts fall in faster.
I'm going to make the center piece smaller.

Made it there and back losing only 1 coconut using this cart. It's not hard...

This is the worst possible UI for a building game. Right click does nothing.

behold, the NUTS'N'COCK MOBILE!

>>5150374
Wow, how did you do that??
You captured all coconuts without even releasing them, so you did not even have to start the clock!

Wow.

>>5150784
Oh my god, you again!?
Seriously, grow up.

Do you have nothing better to do with your time than draw penises in the coconut game all day?

>>5150738
That looks too wide.
How would you get it back over the large ramp on the way back, without getting stuck?

>>5150784
Shit, I lol'd.

Design challenge!
-------------------------

Rules:
1) No wheel may ever be in direct contact with the ground (the design must be made so it's clear that this can't happen)
2) A wheel can not be surrounded by lines (such as >>5150535), a wheel must always be external to anything it is moving.

Included pic illustrates an allowed design. After some driving practice I got it to 22 seconds with 100% efficiency.
Good luck!

>>5150859
You are just using circles as wheels instead.
Is that not a little redundant?

>>5150863
It takes some tinkering to get it to work. The wagon behaves very different too and must be properly piloted instead of just holding down the right arrow key to speed race to the finish.

>>5150869
Oh I see, you want to make it more challenging.
Cool. :)

I'm trying to see what the minimum number of pieces necessary to get all 15 across is, and so far I've hit 12.

>>5150889
Perhaps just a large V shape, if you drive very very carefully?
So, 8 pieces?

>>5150896
It's impossible to get all 15 like this, unless you've got god-tier driving skills, but I got 4.

>>5150889
6 pieces
14 seconds and 100%

>>5150905
Wow, well done.

why don't you play nitrohaul (the game this is based on) and add explosives into the mix?

http://www.physicsgames.net/game/Nitrohaul.html

>>5151159
Ha, coconuts are easier.
They do not explode ;)

>>5150905
One-wheeling is definitely the best way to do it.

>>5151279
There should be friction; you should not be able to do it with 1 wheel.

>>5151285
You shouldn't, but you can. As long as the wheel is fucking huge it's all good.

>>5151159
The UI and lag are even worse than the the other game. Plus the explosives just randomly go off.

SWEDISH ENGINEERING!

>>5151361
It is not random; they do not explode if you are careful and gentle with them.

>>5150859
25 sec, 100%
kinda bouncy and so-so acceleration, maybe I should try a few more wheels for extra power

>>5151397
Ha, that is actually really clever.
Using the wheels as motors to power the circles to be wheels instead.

you play it anyway u like

Don't call people "hun". It's worse than the "kid" bullshit.

leave ek alone

Yes, sir, Whiteknight, sir.

erm, it aint an insult. it's not patronising, it applies is to all ages. its just a friendly/general pronoun.

>>5152005
>mfw that probably scores a pretty decent time

>>5152074

>>5152074

It's annoying as fuck.

>>5152101
no it fucking isnt, lighten up

>>5152121

Yes it is, it makes you sound like a religious mother.

>>5152150
wat?
it can be used by, and to, any age
so its got nothing to do with being a mother, and certainly has fucking nothing to do with religion!

>>5152214
They're probably Armenian or something.

Schuchenpanzer

this game is piss easy

>>5152340
ahahah! fucking what!!? you can connect directly to the coconuts! what sorcery is this!?

>>5152214

You still sound like a religious mother.

"Come on, hun, you need Jesus in your life! Who else will guide you after God takes me home? Not those tattooed people and drug dealers. And here's some banana bread, hun."

>>5152369
>implying that's a good score
>implying any score above 15 seconds and all coconuts isnt fucking shite
babbys first coconut run

>>5152369

Come back with a sub 12 second score, then we'll talk.

>>5152374
Well, it works if you palce wheels on them. You can also make wheels bigger then coconuts themselves, and just roll on to finish.

>>5152387
well anything sounds bad if you say it with that attitude

>yer wot, m8. yer fuckin' need jesus in yer life, ya li'l faggot! 'av a nosh on some fuckin' bannana bread, ya li'l shit

>>5152391

>not realizing flash animations run slower on other computers

fucking moron

I've made the fastest wheel ever. Once you give gas, it goes batshit crazy and shoots out of world bounds.

>>5152534
What is the current record btw?

This design managed to get from one end to the other and then back again. If I make the wheel and circles even larger, I could probably do it faster.

>>5152214
You can't just call any stranger 'hun', or 'honey' I guess.
Even close friends can be miffed by that kind of approach, it suggest a way to close a bond.
Of course it's different for every culture or family but 50% chance people will take it the wrong way.
For instance, if you would talk to me like that in my country I would just take it as a sarcastic insult, or a everyone's friend attitude

So this unholy abomination just gave me this score while bugging the game.

>>5152543
its exploitable.
you can do it in zero seconds:

>>5152425
I rarely go on /sci/, but when I do, I always see people complaining about some tripfag named EK. Now that I have had the misfortune of sharing a thread with you, I completely agree with them.

>>5152621
legit: i think 9 seconds is the limit
possibly 8, but it'd be fucking hard.

>>5152642

>>5152667

>EK deleting all of their posts

>>5153454
I hope it was the mods that did it.

>>5153540
No, it was him. If a mod was here, he would of gone throught the enitre report queue. This was obviously not the case, as you can see from the fact that spam is still up (>>5152188).

Got up to 98%. 15 coconuts in 16 seconds. Kind of hit and miss though, since the coconuts move around in the cart, and they aren't always on the right side when the big wheel touches the end.

>>5153577
nah, ek was clearly banned as usual

>2012
>Not making walkers
Damn plebs

I played this shit nonstop my senior year of high school. Thought coconut run was gone forever. Thank you /sci/ ;_;7

Oh I'm sorry /sci/, did you THINK THIS WAS A FUCKING GAME?

12 SECONDS 100% BITCH. I'VE STILL GOT IT. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saemBRFp7_4

Did it again since the dumb screen glitched the first time, still 100%. Too strong.

I don't know how the fuck you guys get lower than 30 seconds. Must be my computer speed.

>>5154250
there is a performance thing involved

>>5154256
Figured. Oh well, this is still pretty cool.

Well fuck, the game's getting all fuzzy

>>5154045

>Implying that worked

We both know the the top block just wobbled, then fell over.

>>5154438

>>5154447
Oh god I lol'd. How the fuck did you get 6:11? And why didn't you test it before posting?

>>5154449
it took me over 4 minutes just to make that jump

4 minutes of going back and forth until the middle wheel was over the ramp

finished 100% in 12 seconds everytime

Found another decent design.

I find the first few seconds, loading the coconuts into your vehicle, is critical. Anyone got any hints?

Reverse drive. Use backarrow to move forward!

kinda slow though, about 20 seconds to reach the finish line

>>5154630
Put a closing roof on, it really helps you just spam go.

I don't know how I ended up with this, but I like it.

Shaved a few seconds off. Only takes 13 now.

This was easy as shit. Give me a tougher challenge.

>>5154799
*Build a walker.
*Build 2 walkers.
*Build a cart that can take the Coconuts to the end, and then to the beginning.
*Build a cart that can get into the coconuts' starting area without a ramp.

some if you guys are really stupid. My design is simple and works everytime.I also do it in 10 seconds. You guys would make horrible engineers.

>>5154827
Build me a walker then dammit.

>>5154708
Huh. I've tried, but I can't seem to get it to work. It always gets caught on the hopper.

>>5150565
>My record is 9 sec 15/15, but I think I remember seeing some people get like 8 sec

>>5154827
anyone can make a decent vehicle that can get all the coconuts there in no time, fool. the real challenge is doing something retarded and unnecessary at the same time

I want to build a Jansen walker, but I don't know how I'd deal with the whole self-collision issue.

>FUCK

fuck

>>5154879

Do you think it'd be possible to build one of those out of cheap wood with a wind up motor? My nephew would love the fuck out of it.

Has anyone else managed to get the coconuts out without using the release button yet?

see >>5150374

Turns out the empire was wrong when they said the Death star was perfect. Can't even move fucking coconuts.

>>5154907
Yes, absolutely. Heck, I think /po/ even has templates for a paper one.

i've been trying to make a cannon or trebuchet
any ideas on how to store energy in the springs?

>>5154930
Yes, you push/lift them out of the top.

My popcorn maker may have worked a little too well

>>5154953
I've been trying. I've got squat.

i am victor

>>5154967
>not 12 seconds or lower

>>5154956
post a screenshot of all 15 coconuts at the end before the button has been pressed

>>5154995
Good luck with that thing, Cinderella.

I won with a boring 2 wheel design. Now what

>>5154956
i've been trying to do this for the last 10 minutes; the bottom is closed off so my cool piston engine is worthless now

>>5154995
Won't work. The wheels don't actually work that way. They're driven by external torques.

>>5155021

Now you fuck about with retarded ideas, like three stage suspensions, tank tracks and walkers.

This was a stupid idea, but it is hilarious. It moves like a paint mixer.

Anybody actually built a suspension set that worked worth a damn? Everything I try seems to only be slower than just bolting the wheels straight on.

>>5150859
indirect drive is fucking hard
i was trying to make a train

>>5152387
I think it sounds less like a religious mother and more like a fat black woman.

>>5152391
On my computer, the game cannot be completed in less than 25 seconds. Flash animations run faster or slower on different computers.

>>5152534
>>5152543
Holy shit, you're right.
I've never before reached the end in less than 25 seconds, and using your wheel, I reached the end in like 16 seconds. What the fuck.

>>5152641
I've seen somebody get 8; and my friend Ian says he's gotten 6.
