JOODE Development Status

hdietrich · April 14, 2006, 6:40pm

Yes, but they are not well tested

hdietrich · April 14, 2006, 6:43pm

Wow, you are fast. But I think there is still some work to do until we can have a release (see todos in the status summary). Above all the bug in the stepper is anoying.

hdietrich · April 14, 2006, 6:47pm

I am offline the next couple of days. After that I will not have that much time as last week (I had vacations). So it might will take some more days until we can do a release. If someone is volunteering on the open issues he is welcome

okay hdietrich, thanks again for the work you have put in.

Geoms without a body will not be moved anymore.

Okay, so that’s not a feature, it’s a bugfix ^^ but nice anyway

If something like the Xith3D web site (http://www.xith.org) satisfy you, then yes I can do one for JOODE. That’d be a contribution I’d be glad to do. BUT for DNS it’s actually WillDenniss who’s responsible of that, so actually I can’t do any DNS redirection BUT I’ll seek if it’s possible to have something clean for free… (I saw an offer somewhere… I’ll just dig a bit into the net).

t_larkworthy · April 17, 2006, 5:48pm

nah. I jsut meant some pages to put on the sourceforge website

arne · April 17, 2006, 7:58pm

yeah something to put on the sourceforge site would be great (and enough). As the url this would be
http://joode.sourceforge.net/
dunno what we can do with that…but something like you did for Xith would be really cool 8)

eMKa · April 17, 2006, 8:31pm

OK, I’ll see what I can do.

hdietrich · April 18, 2006, 9:26am

Hey, I still will stay with you

I have ported Hinge2 Joints yesterday, but at the moment I got troubles with my provider, so I cannot check in the code.

otelo · April 18, 2006, 1:46pm

You work like a machine. Could it be that you are German? Keep going!

eMKa · April 18, 2006, 5:00pm

Hey hdietrich, if you have too much time and wanna contribute to open-source, just go the xith3d way… We don’t have too many developers, you know ^^

hdietrich · April 24, 2006, 11:54am

Sometimes it helps to have some distance from the code. After a weekend without any coding I have found the “last” bug in QuickStepper. All tests are running now with QuickStepper and show pretty reasonable results. ;D ;D ;D

eMKa · April 24, 2006, 12:21pm

Yeah that’s true. Cool.

hdietrich · April 27, 2006, 11:29am

Regarding the webpage effort: What about using apache forrest (http://forrest.apache.org) for the webpages? It is very simple to create some static webpages with forrest using XDoc. If there are no complaints I would start setting up the project to use forrest for the webpage.

eMKa · April 28, 2006, 4:00pm

I don’t know Forrest, but I see no problem using it.

I do… I just checked it out because I thought it might be useful for a web site I need to make…
Following their instructions to the letter, it fails.

$ cd MyNewSite
$ forrest seed

$ forrest

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 7 seconds

Nothing about this in the docs or FAQ that I can find - and that was using the 0.7 tarball, which one would assume is at least somewhat stable.

hdietrich · April 29, 2006, 10:49am

I do not see any problems on my machine. As soon as I have setup a rudimentary page I will check in the code and integrate the generation of the website in the ant scripts.

swpalmer · April 29, 2006, 11:24pm

My appologies… it turns out that Forrest has issues with running on Mustang.

hdietrich · May 1, 2006, 1:24pm

I have setup a documentation structure with Apache Forrest and checked in the doc.

Until now Apache Forrest (http://forrest.apache.org) has to be installed on your computer to build the website. If you have setup Apache Forrest the site can be generated by running the command forrest from the projects root directory. The generated site then can be found in the directory build/site.

Short instructions (Apache Forrest installation):

Download Apache Forrest: http://forrest.apache.org/mirrors.cgi#closest
Unzip/untar the download to a dierctory of your choice
Add an environment variable FORREST_HOME containing the path to the directory where you extracted Apache Forrest
Add the subdirectory FORREST_HOME/bin to your execution path variable

Detailed instructions can be found at the Apache Forrest page http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/your-project.html

mmh have you changed anything at the steppers, hdietrich? Because now the BoxBoxCollisionTest looks real crazy, but I think, it looks also a bit wrong with the QuickStepper. mmh…maybe theres something more general wrong…or is there maybe accidently an old version up?
