biped walk evolving simulation 1

This is a glimpse of a run of the biped walk evolving simulation I'm working on. Still very crude and unfinished. Currently only the legs' forward joints are able to move.

The simulation was built and run in The Breve Simulation Environment 2.6 beta 1. http://www.spiderland.org/

Hi there, nice one..

can you please let me know how you display the "simulation time".

Last time I used Breve 1.xx in 2004, and now when I try to run the same code using Breve 2.5 @ 2.6, the "time" disappeared.

thanks

Hi, thanks for your comment.

On Breve 2.5 I just added this code in the iterate function of the controller object: + to iterate: message = "Simulation time: $trans-time". self set-display-text to message at-x -.95 at-y -.95.

Where 'message' is the string I wish to display and 'trans-time' is the name of the variable where I put the current simulation time to display.

I hope it helps :D

Whoops, the comments formatting ruined the code...

+ to iterate:

message = "Simulation time: $trans-time".

self set-display-text to message at-x -.95 at-y -.95.

BTW, I've added the line

print message.

to see the simulation time on the log window, and it works well; still not on the display.. :(

thanks again

[Zemat79]

set-display-text is the controller function that displays the text on the simulation window on the given x/y coordinates of the screen.

Check out the JointTypeExample demo. That's where I got part of my code including the message display part. See what differences are between your code and the example code. Maybe you'll find out what's wrong.

Regards!

i think it fel down :D

[Zemat79]

Yeah, right now that's the best it can do :S

DURR DURR DURR IM A BIPED

lol that is ridiculous

[fuadoth]

thanks Zemat79..

before the line

message = "Simulation time: $trans-time".

should put this line

trans-time = (controller get-time).

who knows, might be useful for someone like me in future.. :D

now, am trying to figure out what does the line

self set-display-text to message at-x -.95 at-y -.95.

means.

(on my simulations, the simulation time is still missing from the display; may be because of the coordinate systems)
