Kite Simulator

[cosmodog]

Here's my attempt at some physics programming:

Uses Verlet intregration and very simplified aero - but the results are OK. Several things worked out without special case programming. In gusty conditions, a real kite will sometimes overfly the window, slack lines and fall out of the sky. This can also happen in the simulator.

Have fun,

This is some kind of nice

It's not a very interesting or deep program.
But then again, I have no interest in flying kites, so this just doesn't appeal to me.

Very nice work!

Now, suggestion for the next project would be a R/C helicopter simulator or something like that.

I can't run the game on my Vista installation. I will try to run it on XP via virtual PC later. I'll let u know

That's actually pretty cool. I like the pics more, 'cause it lags on my computer. =D

There are already a handful of great R/C heli sims....would not be worth your time.
