Its been a busy April! We have been working on some new features and fixing a few minor bugs.
We have made some significant changes to the Settings pane. This includes the ability to change the background and the grid colors. We have also organized and cleaned up the interface to make it easier to use and understand.
Also in the Settings pane, we added the ability to change the rate at which you plot points on your graphs. This allows you to set a rate that might match an experiment in your classroom.
Some settings were not saving, so we fixed that.
Currently this feature works in only the newer Chrome and Firefox browsers, but we will be porting this to other browsers soon. I have noticed that students really enjoy adding images so that their simulations look more realistic and they can have some fun creating some pretty hilarious scenarios!
We added a new function called drawLine which allows you to…well, draw a line!
This is helpful for representing visual elements like strings and ropes.
The possibility of using different languages.
This might take us some time, but its a project that we have wanted to tackle for awhile. We will keep you updated as to our progress.
Once again, we would really like your feedback on what you would like to see in Tychos next. We appreciate any feedback or guidance that you can offer.
