Podness
In the past few nights, I have finalized a program to help Ziggy, Sharon, and Toad with their Vibrations project.
In short, my program allows the full physical simulation and visualization of systems of floating, hexagonal platforms on the ocean. It also allows the generation of any ocean wave system, with appropriate effects on the pods.
I won't go into detail, but this is the most indepth program I have ever written, possessing over over 25 classes and using 3 secondary programs. It is also data-file driven. With that you may click here to download it or simply enjoy this screenshot (below the fold).
interesting prog dave... do u think u could make it do surfing waves? as in, ones that you could make a little man ride on on a little board?
