more pymunk 2D physics simulations with small balls and on this one some white polygons and yellow fixed balls holding the polygons against gravity.

a still of a pymunk simulation with small balck balls and two white polygons (one concave the other convex) on a gray horizontal line.

A small Pymunk example for class.
No interactive segment-wall drawing for this one. And I can't use pickle for this sketch in imported mode :(

#pymunk #Processing #Python #py5 #CreativeCoding

I want to simplify #pymunk + #py5 use for my students but I struggle with finding good strategies… Pymunk has two types of (linked) objects for each simulated object: body and shape. For complex objects (like concave shapes) you can use more than one convex shape linked to the same body. In these cases I usually want to have an extra shape to draw and hide the triangulation.
I don't want to keep extra data structures to track the simulation objects to draw. I tried both extending and monkey patching either body or shape objects to be "drawable" so I can just iterate the native pymunk structures and ask stuff to draw themselves (would be nice, huh?), but there is always some snag. If I extend shape classes, I stumble on the complex objects with many shapes drawn with divisions. If I extend the Body class, the problem is static objects have shapes but share a virtual constant body, more of a flag, so I can't add anything to it, so back to keeping track of a separate list of static shapes… Then performance & serialization issues, I want to be able to easily pickle simulations, but if I add Py5Shape objects to the extended/modified classes they become unpickable...
I have bigger fishes to fry right now (the paralyzing PhD) but this is something I would like to pair with someone more experienced to work on.

#pymunk

a composition for black balls between some white lines on a blue background
(resulting from simultating 2D physics, the black balls fall with gravity and are held by the white lines)

compare and take your own conclusions!

I'm obviously completely biased, but, if you are an educator teaching #Python and using #pygame / #pygamece, do check out #py5 (https://py5coding.org).

I'm sure other sprite & game stuff must be easier in pygame, but I'm adapting a #PyMunk example, and IMHO, events are so much easier in py5...

(I'll try post it here tomorrow, I should be doing something else, as usual...)

Updated: Sharing today a new version of my #Thonny portable (the beginner friendly #Python IDE) with #py5 #shapely #trimesh and #pymunk pre-installed. This "re-packaged distribution" makes it easier for my students to have a #CreativeCoding environment on Windows, and is specially useful for school labs with installation constraints...

Please help me test it!

I'd like help to build and sign a MacOS "equivalent" and maybe make a Linux AppImage, I'm not sure if AppImage will work as it would need to let people install further libraries. DM of you'd like to help!

@eltonfc rsrsrs, pois é, isso me lembra o caso do #pymunk que só sabe simular a física (2D) de corpos convexos e aí o jeito é triangular corpos com concavidades e fazer um corpo "composto" dos triângulos para poder simular.

Galera, como muitos lugares em que eu dou aula usam Windows, eu andei montando um pacotinho "portátil" usando o #ThonnyIDE portable, que já vem com #Python 3.10, e acrescentei a biblioteca de desenho que eu uso, #py5 e mais umas coisinhas como #shapely, #trimesh e #pymunk... se alguem quiser testar, atualizei hoje algumas coisas:

Thonny e py5 rodam no MacOS e no GNU/Linux também. Pra quem quiser saber mais sobre o py5 (e essa dobradinha com o Thonny IDE) veja esta páginai: https://abav.lugaralgum.com/como-instalar-py5/ (nessa página está um link para uma versão anterior do portable para Windows que pretendo trocar por essa que está em testes). #ProgramaçãoCriativa #Python #Processing
