Summer School

Post by Shell1850 »

I remember watching Al Shepard's Mercury sub orbit flight. Tue morning I watched one of the more important launches since then. The main reason it is built and developed by a private company. In 1961 orbital rendezvous was not possible.

Today we have Truespace 7.61. This program would allow any smart student to develop software to accomplish this. During the summer students become dumber. I was wondering if there was anyone to help develop software to prevent this.

Well.. I like the idea much. Being a 32bit software, it does lag a bit, but scripting and the LE does leave huge room for development. I would sponsor development if I could! :bananacool2:

Just keep in mind, the application is a suite of .dlls. So they can be replaced. So in theory, since the graph is such a disaster, it could be replaced with something better. Good luck with that though. Lotta work. It's better to work with what we have, making simple improvements, and use newer stuff as well.

I am trying to learn/relearn calculus. The good professor claimed when delta X approaches zero, the expression becomes 1. I did not see it. So I created a program in Truespace to test it. Creating a slider with a minimum of .0001 and a maximum of 5. I tested it. He was right.

My point, there is still lots of power to Truespace 7.61. Not for creating large projects but for understanding small concepts.
