SketchyPhysics3.1
-
I'd love to help in some way with the furtherance of SP but I have only just begun to learn Ruby let alone everything else that is required.
If I can help in any way I will. Personally I think SP could be a commercially viable product with a good polishing - anyone ever see any code for SP4? If its as good as it sounded I would pay for it.
Has Chris totally dropped the SP project now? The whole thing is a testament to Chris' brilliance and I feel I have missed out to have not got seriously involved until now.

Here is the long awaited new version of SP. Hopefully this version will be much more stable under SU8.
Check out the Release Notes for changes:
http://code.google.com/p/sketchyphysics/wiki/ReleaseNotes3_1All the scripted events and commands. This list will get fleshed out over time.

http://code.google.com/p/sketchyphysics/wiki/SP31Oct7Hi,
i am a beginner and i don't know where to put event codes in sketchup. By the way are they for win or mac? Thank you -

I want to be able to build and test bridges that support (and collapse) under load tests. I am really miffed as to where to start. Would you help me get started. I don't know ruby but I'm a little versed in C++. BTW, sketchy physics is really cool. Thanks.

I support your desire to bring SP4 to the community !!!
Maybe a Kickstarter campaign could send a message and bring more power to the cause !!! -
Kickstarter could be cool - would require the people that know the code to get on board though - even if they allow running of fundraising initiatives to be delegated to us, we still need them to code it.
What do you think Chris? - Several free versions of SP up to 3 point whatever and then a robust, powerful paid version 4.0?
I'd certainly buy it and I would be happy to put administrative work into making it happen

Kickstarting SP has been "kicked" around for some time now, but never got anywhere.
To resurrect SP into a V4 is NOT a trivial task, and perhaps that is part of the reason Chris has dropped out of sight.
I'm all for having a V3.x or V4 up and running, but I can't see this happening with a collaborative mode. If the work is distributed amongst several Ruby magicians, and for whatever reason one drops out or falls well behind plan, the game is lost. There is no real incentive to keep going.
Besides, there is a real and fully functional plug-in available called SimFonia. I played with it when it first came out, but got side tracked with other stuff so never mastered it.... but some day that will happen.
However, should a collaborative SP revision gets going, I am quite willing to provide my skills in planning and coordination to keep the project on track.
It would also be "nice" if Chris were on the team, even if only in an advisory/consultative capacity.

Simfonia has a small part of it that handles physics simulations called "Bullet" physics which I would say has about one tenth of the power for physical simulations that SP has. Simfonia has a lot of other things but SP is an entirely different beast - an awesome one at that.
PS - I have a paid Simfonia license and love it -

But as you said, it has some other worthy attributes.
