Gears system
Mar 16th, 2009, 10:12pm  
Hello,

Here's a simple gear system :
http://kaeltyk.free.fr/Processing/Gears/applet/index.html

It was not so simple when I tried to align teeth (but I finally made it), and there is some work left (same axis gears with different radius/teeth, chains, 'gearish' graphics and not hollow wheels with spikes). And it's not really physically accurate as you can link in some weird setups, but that was not the point (I made this to animate some game interface elements).
I left the tweaking inputs and ability to click to add gears wherever you want.

It works nice, I only don't like your graphical style.
Hope you try to improve that.

So, get the code and re-do the graphics yourself.

Nice job, Kaeltyk.

I made these graphically simple so it could work in P2D. (But you may not like my graph style anyway Wink).

If anyone can get inspiration and make nice parametric graphics from radius/teeth out of this sketch this I'd be happy that it is of some use.
