Attached Link: VueDynamics

Now I know they don't have particles in Vue 6 I'm going to do some more work on VueDynamics which has crude support for particles already.  I've been playing with using EcoSystem instances rather than objects on my 3 year old 512Meg RAM system I've had 10,000 spheres bouncing around.  I need to optimise my memory handling before I let anyone else use this because when it goes wrong it *really* goes wrong.  You should hear my hard drive grinding.

I also need to put a GUI on it but I'd prefer to do that in a way that works on both Macs and Windows and that means finding out what version of Python and what libraries are coming with Vue 6's Python.  In the mean time I've been restructuring it so I can add a simple web form interface to it till I know what I can do in Vue 6.  I hope to have this ready for release this weekend or next.  Would have been sooner but the hot weather halted development.

As to SDKs while they would be nice I have to say there is a lot of stuff in Vue's Python no one has touched yet.  I know in the 8 months I've really been making a stab at using it for I've barely scratched the surface.  I'm pretty certain that a lot of things can be achieved with it including:

• Particles
• Physics Engine
• Crowd/Flock Engine
• Enhanced Terrain Modeling including roads, rivers and other features
• Polygon Modelling
• Custom File Importing
• Interaction with other software packages

At the moment I think there is a chicken and egg situation with proving there is a market for writing any of these and making money from them.  Until someone produces a killer Vue Python application (SkinVue to me may be that App) and developers realise there is money in it few people will develope Python applications for Vue.

P.S. Veritas - do you have to SHOUT in all your posts.  It's starting to give me a headache ;-)
