[x] Path display (see #8 )
[x] Open file not only when the application starts
[x] min / max size of planets (5-20 pxl diameter)
[x] Zoom towards mouse
[x] Next Frame / Prev Frame feature
[x] Keyboard shortcuts :
- [x] +/- key for zoom. ~~Maybe mouse double left click as well~~?
[x] Visual confirmation of pause
[x] Print speed. At least when it changes.
[x] display a light background grid. Multiple goals for this, but above all there is no visual reference when zooming or dezooming, so it is too easy to get lost / forget the scale.
[x] enable/disable:
- [x] light grid
- ~~colors~~
- ~~mass dependant planet size~~
- [x] path display

Questions: see OP*.

*OP = Original Post

gabrielfougeron commented 9 years ago

min / max size of planets :question: To how much? => close future : reasonable range (ex: 5-20 pxl diameter) => Afterwards : user setting file ?

Step by step forward / rewind ? :question: Precision please => The idea is to move forward a bit and immediately pause, just like a frame by frame video

+/- key for zoom. Maybe double click for small zoom? :question: Precision for the "Maybe" part please => Maybe = suggestion. These are suggested features, because even if they seem interesting, they might not all be interesting / they might not form a coherent whole altogether.

Sorry, for the '"Maybe" part' I meant: "Maybe double click for small zoom?". What does that mean? What would be the difference with the mouse wheel / +/- zoom?

For the rest, TY: updated OP.

gabrielfougeron commented 9 years ago

There would be no difference. The idea was to have multiple shortcuts for the same function. (ex : google maps does the same)

giulioforesto commented 9 years ago

Ok, updated OP.

gabrielfougeron commented 9 years ago

ctrl + wheel speed control IS GREAT ! visual confirmation of speed change / absolute speed ?

gabrielfougeron commented 9 years ago

List of GUI parameters are at the very beginning of the .pde file. Very good. (I can try new values on my own)

Ok, don't commit changes: git checkout -- <file> to discard changes (comes back to local HEAD version of the file).
