Web Yacht Sails Simulator
Recently I'm fascinated with sailing. Some time ago I've finished a sailing course that will enable me to sail on some most popular tourist sail boats. The more I'm learning the more things are getting interesting. For example, it sounds obvious that moving a boat involves many forces that all interfere with each other, however the way in which this all works makes you can move not only with the wind but also by the wind. Of course sailor has to do a plenty of math (aka experiance) to get some decent speed. Sailing makes for a wonderful subject in programming scenarios that I have in Eclipse Ajax Tooling (ATF) project , so I've started building a web yacht sails simulation. It will present a virtual boat that user can steer and put under various weather conditions. First thing I had to do was refreshing my knowledge about vectors. There will be vector for wind, water stream, vectors for sails, rudder and various resistances. The other story is making it all visible. I c
