Question

my senior project ...

Answer 1

finished it ....

Answer 2

congrats!
when do we get to see it?

Answer 3

i was about to post the paper and maybe the program i wrote up as well

Answer 4

12 pages of me blabbering, and the rest is just a text of the program

Answer 5

i used eulers tangent line method to construct some ideas to make discrete solutions to pursuit curve problems

Answer 6

Holly crap! How much did you work on all that?!?!

Answer 7

how much? all of it lol

Answer 8

in what program (not that i would know how anyway) can i run the program?

Answer 9

ive got a finished one ... maybe i can zip it to include the animation files .... other than that is 'c' chasing and 'r'

Answer 10

gotta run
please do
better yet, if you don't mind email it to me
satellite73.openstudy@gmail.com

Answer 11

will do

Answer 12

as is, this is the rc version without the cheesy animations

Answer 13

it works great on google, but has issues with newer versions of the bigE firefox seems to like it too

Answer 14

dang!!! wow!!! O.O

Answer 15

the user inputs for the parametrics have to be in the javascript math object to eval it into the program, so the trigs are just Math.trig(...)

i used t' and x' y' as the variable markers to distinguish them from replacing ALL ts and xys they find

Answer 16

my deletion for the images is mesing with the surface output ... file not found lol

Answer 17

Wow ! this looks sound work !! It would definitely take a week or two for me to digest this xD... .Is the discrete method different from numerical techniques ?

Answer 18

prolly not, its the essense of numerical techiniques i think. never really studied those.

Answer 19

ur examples remind me of boat and drug problem.. .

Answer 20

for surfaces, the z has to be defined in x' y' parts .. not t's

is that like that boat submarine problem?

Answer 21

i programed a xyz axis controls; and some hide options (they work after a stop) to see it from different angles

Answer 22

a sub dives under water ... the boat heads to the position the sub was last seen and does a search pattern in a widening spiral. saw something like that in the literature i read.

Answer 23

the last version that i was trying to attempt was to have an actual 3d surface chase on like whole spheres and even klein bottles where xyz are function of uv. but i havent been able to think of a good way to get a true pursuit on the surface.

at the moment i have a chase in the uv plane and it is just projected into the xyz vector space so it remains on the surface, but it looks more like a chicken running around with its head shopped off than an actual pursuit in 3D lol

Answer 24

also developing a dropdown list for some predefined stuff to help aleviate the javascript math syntax

Answer 25

oh that submarine problem is complicated version i think... drug boat is rather simple :
Police are chasing a drug boat... and the boat is trying to escape from the police by taking 45 degree turns from the line of direction of police.... find the path of boat

Answer 26

it sounds relateable.

a pursuit curve is what the police boat would generate while chasing the drug boat tho.

Answer 27

at the moment, the surface in the program is really just a topologically altered xy plane, with some surface feeling conditions to maintain arclengths along the surface

Answer 28

ill see if i can post the uv version of it that mutilates the chase ... still looks pretty cool to see a run happen on a torus lol
