Thank you all for the comments. John,
Can you point out what are the currently existing charting/graphing features in elm? I am going to implement a simple simulation without any graphics (just displaying numbers and controls perhaps) first. It seems that when I need to start with graphics elm/svg should be enough? Erkal, That looks great! I will try it out as well. Joshua, I learned about the update the hard way, I was reading 0.16 docs when the update happened and everything changed. It was quite shocking (my first experience with a young and developing language). But I think I know what to expect and the downside of adopting something still in development. -s- Salomon Turgman Cohen Assistant Professor Chemical Engineering Kettering University (810)249-4045 On Mon, May 16, 2016 at 9:34 AM, Joshua Mendoza <[email protected]> wrote: > Since the Elm architecture needs to have a consistent model all the time > you can think of the variables and preconditions of an experiment as part > of that model and everything you need to do is to provide a view (HTML > code) that reflects this state (I was looking at your Compressed Gas Spray > example, all buttons and controls can be modeled that way very well). > Consequently, every control change needs to be reflected in an update > function that changes one piece of this model (variables a preconditions > corpus) and the wiring (commanding actions, effects, consequences that > change the model) needs to be done with these concepts: > > http://guide.elm-lang.org/architecture/user_input/forms.html > http://guide.elm-lang.org/architecture/effects/time.html > > My personal recommendation if you're to follow the Elm path, is to wait a > little bit since there has been an important upgrade in the core Language > and many of us are struggling to keep up with the changes (I mean, > everything got easier but previous work and libraries have been rendered > useless because of API changes). > > > > On Sunday, May 15, 2016 at 8:09:49 AM UTC-5, Salomon Turgman Cohen wrote: >> >> Dear Elm community, >> I am interested in building little educational demos like those shown in >> this website http://www.learncheme.com/simulations The ones in that >> website require player software that is almost 800 MB,and I feel we can do >> better.
