v2.0 Notes

Reached a good stopping point for v2.0 faster than I expected. I added the following:

  • User inputs for beat duration, dwell duration, prop radius and prop coefficient of restitution (ie. bounciness)
  • Support for bounce juggling
    • Add any number of "B" characters to a single toss to make it a bounce (the number of bounces is the number of B's). Must follow each B with an L (lift), F (force), HL (hyperlift) or HF (hyperforce). So 5 ball lift bounce pattern would be "5BL"
    • http://jugglinglab.sourceforge.net/html/ssnotation.html explains the bounce notation I used
  • Animated jugglers
  • First person camera option
  • User input for animation speed

Priorities for the next version:

  • Synchronous siteswap "halving" issue
  • Alternative dwell paths like reverse cascade, windmill and mills mess
  • Alternative props like clubs and rings
Soon I'd like to write a post about my dwell path and flight path interpolation algorithms. Definitely needs explaining because the code is starting to look a little messy.
