First upload - Verlet Origami

Please note: There is a more advanced version of this program available here.

Download:





The program I am uploading here is called VerletOrigami.

I'm using a basic verlet physics engine to simulate a ball and strut model of a pre-creased, rigid piece of paper.

The paper has been pre-creased for a paper plane, and the simulation will "fold" the paper into a paper airplane in front of your eyes, demonstrating the viability of using verlet physics to simulate a piece of paper.

Screenshots:








Left mouse button + drag will orbit the camera around the cursor.
Right mouse button + drag will pan the camera anchored around the cursor.
Mouse wheel will move the camera forward or back.

Esc will close the program.

NOTE: THE ZIP IS A COMPRESSED EXE FILE.

Looks as if you are doing a fine job !
So I downloaded the zip file, but unfortunately… - and I knew it! -
it was an .exe.
I don't have Windows.
Please inform us in the future.
But as I said, you seem to be doing a great job! Keep up ! :)

At the moment, all my programs are released only in Win32 executable format, along with a readme file and changelog. The executable is not dependent on any external library and is very compact - it should run on a fresh install of windows. (Windows comes with OpenGL 1.2 library built in)

What format would you like? What format were you expecting?
