An
online version of this report is available here.
Here's
a pie
chart representation of the time distribution.
Last
week I worked reduced hours due to dissertation work
This
upcoming week I’ll be working reduced hours because I have family members
visiting from out of town.
Density
·
Tested
on Mac Mini, some results are here
·
Posted
discussion as #1835
CCK
·
Worked
with Mike to identify a likely cause of current oscillation in RC for
R<<1
·
Discovered
a workaround that yields qualitatively correct behavior for RC for R<<1
without requiring reduction in dt.
Posted 3.17.16,
which includes this workaround
·
Reports
from Sam M testing so far are positive, but needs further testing
Piccolo
·
Added
piccolo 1.3 preview version to repository
·
Verified
piccolo issue
63 raised by Chris M regarding slider thumb not showing
Motion
Series
·
Identified
one mac issue for score dialogs: Mac uses Space instead of Enter
·
Identified
and resolved cause of gray area problem #1832
·
Fixed
“summary-screen-is-gray” problem in game modes.
·
Waiting
for feedback on Ramp and Forces & Motion sims
Misc
·
Changed
default slider size in RadioactiveDatingGame tab 2 so the slider shows on mac
by default
·
Worked
with John on some model and graphics issues for gene-network
Upcoming
Work
·
Fix
charts lining up in forces and motion
·
Piccolo
toImage uses a different strategy, pswing button has different bounds
·
In
RadioactiveDatingGameApplication 2nd tab, some bounds have NaN
·
CCK:
look into e-e repulsion issue #1828
·
(maybe
me): Look into issue of deploying phetcommon-fonts.properties with sim
translations
·
Motion series, see to-do list
·
CCK
·
E&E graph should
have record/playback, use motion series recording controls.
·
Better support for
coordinate frames, see MyCanvas
·
Better tracking &
documentation of sim dependencies and changes
·
Make it possible to
redeploy sims with common changes without retesting the sim
·
Make it possible to
deploy an exact version of a sim, could use git for this too?
1.
Should add a way to
annotate tested versions, and test results
