Hello Nathan, There is a new version of Gazebo on sourceforge in subversion. I've been updating this periodically, and I guess now is just as good as a time as any to let people see it. So you should note that everything in this version of Gazebo is half-complete at best. There are numerous items that need improvement and patches. So consider this a pre-pre-beta version of Gazebo. Since I'm playing around, everyone else is more than welcome to contribute ideas, thoughts, and code.
With that said, you can download the code like so: svn co https://playerstage.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/playerstage/code/gazebo gazebo Here is a short list of what's new: - scons build system - moving towards a more modular physics system - OGRE rendering engine Here is a list of what needs to be done: - Improve the build system: scons is okay so far, but we might have to switch back to autotools. - Improve rendering engine - Fix the cursor (you'll know what I mean when you run gazebo) - Allow gazebo to run headless - Create a HUD to display camera information, and other useful things - Allow for selection of objects - for user interaction and to gather information - Fix the models - Models are now describe via XML (see ogre.world in the worlds directory). But a method for supply control policies for each type of interface (position, sonar, laser, etc) is missing. -Fix python scripting - I would like each model to have the ability to call a python script during the update cycle. This is about 1/8 complete. -Incorporate the physsim as an alternative option to ODE. See http://physsim.sourceforge.net/ If anyone wants to tackle these problems, please let me know and we can discuss it. -nate On 2/1/07, Nathan Michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > A couple of months ago an enticing email was sent to the list > detailing a possible update to Gazebo including several new exciting > features (python-scripted models, OGRE rendering, and changes to the > dynamic engine to name a few).
