Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-01-27 Severity: wishlist * Package name : xspringies Version : 1.12 Upstream Author : Douglas DeCarlo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://athos.rutgers.edu/~decarlo/software.html * License : GPL Description : A mass and spring simulation game
XSpringies is a mass and spring simulation system. It's intended use is more like that of a game, than some design package. It's written using Xlib only. No Motif or any other widgets sets are used. The animation in XSpringies is done using an off-screen Pixmap. The next frame is drawn on this pixmap, then is blitted onto the screen. Since the frame rate is about 30 frames per second, slower machines (or machines which have poorly written bit-blitting code) will be deathly slow and blinky. But now, in the days of fast happy machines, you might find yourself turning down the timestep some so you can see what's going on.. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux lotus 2.4.18 #1 Sat Nov 16 16:27:52 EST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
