 | | lsynthcp community development project setup on sourceforge —Kevin Clague
|
| | | Hi, I'm happy to announce that lsynthcp, a synthesizer of bendable LEGO/LDraw parts, is now a project on sourceforge. This allows all who are able and motiviated to join in future development of lsynthcp. lsynthcp is an text based ANSI C program, (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.announce)

| | | | | Kevin, Excellent idea. Using SourceForge will hopefully garner you some additional support and programming resources to allow you to further LSynth's development. When will LPub be moving to SourceForge? As an aside, I have been reviewing your new (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | | Steven, Hopefully the sourceforge effort will also get some folks that can help me with the mathematical ins and outs of the effort. I contacted Michael about lsynthcp support in MLCAD, but he was already wrapping up the 3.0 release. I'm hoping that (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

However, using LPub has encouraged me to begin creating many more (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | | | | <snip> (...) Thanks Steven. Comments like this are highly motivating. When I started writing LPub, I'd only just heard of L3P, although I new of POV-Ray from way back. It has been quite a learning experience. (...) I learned a lot about L3P writing (...) (22 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

|
| | | | | | | | (...) One last question; I am curious as to why you didn't include LP3AO as a "Power Tool?" This is another one of those no-brainers (creating a GUI for a command line program). Was it due to the timeline of your text? Steven (22 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

|
| | | | | | | | Steven, I debated with myself about adding L3PAO, because it certainly has had a positive effect for people who don't like command lines (and even for some of those that do). LPub has all the capabilities of L3PAO plus a *lot* more, so I felt like (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
