Physics-Simulations

This mobile application is targeted at school and university students studying Physics. The application would present various physics simulations to choose from. These simulations will range from basic simulations like spring and pendulum simulation to complex simulations like collisions. Once the user selects a simulation, they will see the simulation animating in real time. The user can also interact with the simulations by providing touch input, dragging objects or changing parameters like gravity, length (of pendulum, string), etc. As studies indicate, students are more interested to learn the concepts of Physics by actually seeing them in a tangible form in a lab, than studying the concepts in a classroom.

physics-simulations's Issues

App crash on clicking 'Settings'

The application crashes on clicking the settings button on the side panel. @costinpapuc @croozeus I would like to fix this, can I send a PR?

Bug in Atwood Simulation

In the Atwood Simulation, the bodies are connected to a pulley via a thread. However, when the position of any body moves above the position of pulley mid-point, a thread a shown going from within the body from the pulley mid-point to the top of the body. This should not happen as the bodies are opaque. I have corrected this and now the simulation looks more realistic. I would like to send a PR. @croozeus @costinpapuc

Bug in spring simulation

In the spring simulation the labels showing different category of energies overlap with the x axis, making it difficult for the user to view the labels. Here is a screenshot

After modification it will look like this-

Issue with landscape mode

The 'About' page in the portrait mode works fine, however in the landscape mode only a part pf the page is visible to the user. As there is no scroll view, the user cannot see the lower part of the page, aas shown below.

@croozeus @costinpapuc I would like to fix this by adding a ScrollView to the layout. Can I send a PR?

Play button in projectile simulation not disabled

Once a simulation is played in the projectile simulation, the play button does not function until the refresh button is pressed. Hence, the play button should become faded(disabled) untill the refresh button is pressed. I would like to work on this. @croozeus @costinpapuc
