I registered to go on their forum and was told it might take a couple/few days to receive a confirmation email before I could start being active on it. He was heartbroken (still is), so he had to sit it out. However, for simply posting the 'wrong' kind of (very common) scene, instead of receiving any warnings, it was an automatic 10-day IP-ban. The rules contain a lot of obviously bad violations that he would never ever dream of doing - using offensive language, insulting other users etc - and state that such behaviour will (rightly) result in a warning. Apparently, leaderboard scenes are against the rules (it had said in the rules, but he'd forgotten this - apparently, they don't want anything that might turn it into a 'chat' board?!?!). He posted a leaderboard/results chart scene showing where each 'athlete' appeared and instantly received a message that he had been banned for 10 days. The scenes are typically stick-person athletes, identified by the names of their many colours and shades, taking part in various sports/games and contests.Īfter months of making his own scenes and watching those posted by others, I let him set up an account (with my details) and upload his own.

They have a connected program called Algobox, which allows children to register and then upload and share scenes that they've made. He first loved watching marble race videos and this was kind of a logical extension of that. He's a bit younger than the target age, but it's very much his 'thing'. This is admittedly very niche, but does anybody (or their children) have any experience of Algodoo? It's a fun way of learning about physics and coding and my DS is absolutely crazy about it.
