Description

Simple verlet based 'cloth' simulation.

Grab and move and pin particles to modify the sim.
See details on the code's home page.
Expects a 3-button mouse.
You can LMB-click on any particle to make the particle stick to the mouse.
LMB-click again, and the particle will stick in space.
If you RMB on a stuck particle, it will unstick.

If you grab just the source, you'll also need a fixed-up version of the Pygame vec2d lib, which you can download from my site here:

Based on the 2001 Siggraph paper:

reading my mind ;) My currently local tests have modified it to auto-generate a random spread of particles, and then connect them via constraints based on a distance check \ max # of constraints per particle. Not quite there yet but gives some creepy spider-web like results. If I can get that working I'll move into the 3d realm...

Idea: how would an image look that is mapped on the grid? Would be a cool thing to play around. Using opengl it should be fairly easy to map an image onto the grid.

There is not approval process, I have renamed it myself by now.

lol, I didn't realize I could fix it. Just updated both it and the vec3d lib. However, I don't see my changes reflected... maybe there's an approval process first? Thanks for the headsup on the "<", I don't know anything about html tags ;)

You are right, I must have been confused. Maybe you should update the Vec2d class in the cookbook? The "<" is a html tag (probably because its on a web page) and should be replaced with a "lower than".

The class name in the source is Vec2d, the module name is vec2d.py ;) Irony is in the source code on Pygame site, the class name is lowercase, so I actually made it conform to pep8 in my source. The 'problem' is down around line 400, in the func testAngles() : self.assert_((v - v2).length < .00001) That line gets angry, looks like there is corruption in the source: "<". I just comment it out to get things working again. Although I suppose you could just replace the bad text with a comma ",". Glad you like the program ;)

What did you fix in Vec2d? You should know that a class name should start with a capital letter according to pep8. Nice implementation. I have been playing around with it.
