JSpringies 1.01 README Last modified: 14-Nov-1998 General info: ------------- JSpringies is a mass and spring simulation system, written in pure Java. It's intended use is more like that of a game, than some design package. First of all, the author wishes to pay homage to Douglas Decarlo(http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/~decarlo), who is the author of XSpringies and many contributers related to that program. XSpringies was a mass and spring simulation system and implemented on X Window System. JSpringies has depends on tons of thing, concepts, algorithm, and many data files from XSpringies. JSpringies was written privately about three years ago for learning the Java language, but had been buried in oblivion for a long time because this program needs much resources and didn't work well at that time. The author had developed this program on 486DX2 machine(HandBook486 from GW2K) ;-< Now, thanks to Moore's Law, improvements of JVM implementation, JIT, etc., JSpringies will not require "so much" patience from us. So the author decide to release this program, and of course to be brought to you under GPL. Data file: ------------- This distribution includes data files, which comes from XSpringes 1.1 without no changing. Once again, the author wish to pay homage to Douglas Decarlo and many contributers of XSpringes. How to run: ---------- JSpringies is an applet. Try, % appletviewer jspringies.html Misc info: ---------- The author of JSpringies is ymnk, JCraft Inc. Please send any bug-reports/comments/suggestions to jspringies@jcraft.com.
