really cool sim despite the jank here and there, you should be proud. i'm proud of my newcomen atmospheric engine!~ :) also, i learned what a newcomen atmospheric engine is today!
Yay! :D
Satisfying simulation! :)
Thanks!
Had to fiddle a little bit around, but then got the hang of it. The screenshot helps ;-)
The game once crashed, I think when I created a very short chain, because I hadn't understood, that you have to hold an drag to determine the length.
Yeah I didn't have the time to make in-game directions, unfortunately--I just had to leave people to hopefully figure it out. :p
Weird that it crashed making a short chain. I haven't seen that happen, but the code is spaghetti enough that anything's possible. haha
Glad you got it working!
Hey, as someone else stated, it took me a couple of tries to get it working like it should but it was really satisfying afterwards :D
Good to hear! I wanted to tweak the different part masses, piston force and timing to make it work better (even for me it’s inconsistent), but ran out of time. Good enough, I suppose :)
Good implementation.
Thanks!
Nice work! Took me a couple of attempts to get something that worked consistently. The first time I put the pump too high up and it was just flailing around all over the place! Very funny to watch. Good job on the submission!
Thanks! My guess is the pump was actually much longer in real life (to reach the depths of the flooded mines), but I guess I just made it that length since you wouldn't be able to see the rest anyway.
Glad you found it entertaining. :) What's really fun is when the piston glitches out of its housing but still thinks it's supposed to get a periodic downward force, proceeding to swing the beam all over the place. haha
