( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I came across exactly this issue recently when I was starting to write a simulator. It has essentially 3 parts.
  • Computation - calculation of changes for each iteration
  • Setup & control - input data on what is being modelled and drive the simluation
  • Graphics - Representation of data

I was particularly looking for the ability to strip out/replace either the computation (to allow a different model to be simulated), or a different Graphics package (in case the original isn't high performance enough).

I spent a long time deciding what graphical system to use, and settled on Gtk+ for the display and Glade for the visual UI building.

The computation model was written as a separate module.

This combination allowed almost complete separation between the computation, the control and the grpahics, with just a few object references passed between the modules, allowing easy replacement of one of the modules.

I plan to publicise the code when it is a bit more advanced.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
