Version 0.10 is up on Test Flight for iOS beta testers, and the Android version will be following shortly. This will be the *last* beta version before I release to the public on the App stores! This version contains all the basic features that I want for MOMDYN, and while I expect to keep on improving, I'm excited to finally release it into the wild. A little clip of the most recent version in action below.
What you'll see in this latest version:
- Rigid Body Cylinder
- Rigid Body Cone
- Tabbed interface update
The cylinder and cone are very similar to the existing Rigid Body Box interface, replacing the two width and height arguments with a single radius argument. I had to do a bit of work to figure out how to make a nice wireframe graphic for these, which you can see some of at this Google Colaboratory notebook. A screenshot of that notebook is below, I used IPywidgets and the interact function to create the slider bars which rotate the cylinder and cone in the plot (note, you have to visit the link to use the interactions).
The new tabbed interface is purely aesthetic, I think putting them at the bottom better aligns with the visual qualities of a lot of modern iOS and Android apps. Also a few subtle changes to color themes, and made the report tabs all fit on a single line.
As I near release, I'll make note that I'm still looking for testers. I'll be doing this myself for the next couple of weeks, tapping my way through all the menus I can think of and seeing what breaks. Would like to have a few more folks to cover my blind spots. Besides that, I'm interested in what the users really want for future releases. I have my own ideas (more bodies and joints, 3-D diagram, ...), but the product really should be community driven. If you're interested, send me an email at mobilemultibodydynamics@gmail.com, and I'll add you to the list, its free, all I ask is you send me good useful feedback.
