 | | LCD - Small Update
|
|
I updated the LCD pages to reflect the new name, 'LDraw Connection Database.' I also updated the Reference: Specifications page with a new section, called 'Works in Progress,' which includes a page link to LCD. -Tim (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Here's some brief news about the Parts Tracker. First, everything seems to be running smoothly. At least, as smoothly as it was before the website redesign. There are some fixes needed at the top of some pages, and I still need to figure out where (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Dears, thank you for the enthusiasm you are accepting our idea with. In the case you are wondering where did we take it from, here is the explanation. Some months ago I begun to play with Lego CAD softwares, liking to build with them, but I haven't (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) A while ago, there was a website about a genetic algorithm which created lego bridges. There was an applet to run through situations you defined. It would create lego models, and test them for fitness. It was very fun, even though it was only (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Isn't that what the LCD is all about? The program can tell which piece is connected to what other piece... Now, if we can model gear-teeth meshing, that will be incredibly awesome... Steve (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
