# 1.02.04 (29629) Mar 22, 2009 3/22/09 Batch deploy for Alpha Simulation Tests 2, svn 29628 # 1.02.03 (29335) Mar 9, 2009 # 1.02.02 (28823) Feb 19, 2009 Batch deploy for alpha Simulation Tests, svn 28773 10-13-2008: rename TheRampStrings to TheRampResources, move to top-level package, consistent with other sims 10-13-2008: replace SimString with PhetResources 10-13-2008: use PhetApplicationConfig launchSim 10-13-2008: fix incorrectly named string file for language=et 7-16-2007: Each module is given its own clock instead of sharing a reference. New in 0.00.25 (8-18-2006) Limited to 1 dog on screen at a time. Renamed "remove heat" to "cool ramp" Deleted extra print statements on the console on startup. New in 0.23 (1-2-2005) Upgraded to work with latest phetcommon -includes bugfixes for the control panel. Fixed a bug that prevented the object combo box from being seen on a mac. Performance improvements Audio is preloaded as clips (for improved performance) New in 0.22 . Make applied force orange, make wall force the drab yellow. . Delete the ramp-change-color feature. . rename velocity to m/s (not meters/second). . Redraw track for slider to look more slider-like. . Scale down the mouse-applied force. . Shrink the control panel width (if possible). . Changing objects on the 1st panel also changes coeff. of friction. We mention the coeff in the object name as multi-line. . Earth should be lighter green (to make the dark fonts on it more visible). . “Playback” is better than “play” on the playback panel. . delete record button. (Go/Pause is better than record) . Crate should have a higher coeff than the file cabinet. . Use “friction coefficient” not “friction” where applicable. . Bugfix: overheated button shows up in wrong spot (low resolution). . Add subscripts: Fgravity, Ffriction, Wapplied, not for Energies, though. . Test 2 columns for in-plot readouts. >>Looks good. . Abbreviate the in-plot readouts (delete "parallel", delete units repetition, etc.) . Line up control buttons to the left of the graphs. . Bugfix: Dragging the playback cursor doesn't change values. . Bugfix: Dragging the block with friction off adds heat. . Bugfix: Clear heat doesn't work while pause is on. >> I think this was only clearing the heat for the ramp/block colors, now this feature has been removed. . When you make a change while it is paused, the change should be immediately seen. Including changing objects. >>I think this bug was in the plot readouts. . Reset should reset everything (including heat, object, time, graphs, controls, friction, frictionless checkbox). >>Fixed this for plot & bar graph states, and the frictionless checkbox. . Improve the drawing order of the graph lines (applied on top). >>I’ve simply increased the stroke size for the applied force plot. Looks ok. . Bugfix: After 30 seconds, you can still press record, but nothing records. . Bugfix: On playback, sometimes the block jumps around (wrong surface data?) . Friction arrows aren’t updating after time runs out. >>I can’t reproduce this. New in 0.21 . Reduced size from 3.3M to 1.2M . re-enabled splash screen. . Fixed a bug that prevented the application from starting properly in Java 1.5.0+ New in theramp 0.20 . Audio checkbox is on the right, titled 'Sound'. . Wall force is brown. . Sleepy dog is back. . Different audio for run-over man. . Applied force label is above applied force spinner. . Moved the 'overheat message' to the bar graph area, only appears if bar graphs are up . Renamed 'clear heat' to 'remove heat' in the control panel. . Height readout is now halfway down, with 'height extent' lines. . Changed the verify dialog text to clarify the difference between "Clear Graphs" and "Reset Everything" . Added Go Pause Clear buttons to the control panel (near the position & angle controls) New in theramp 0.19 on 10-9-2005 · Bugfix: the ramp no longer mistakenly starts overheated on replay. · Wall force color has been changed to avoid clashing with the normal force color. · Colors no longer combine on the graphs, the more important lines overlap the others. · The ramp starts at a slight angle. · There is a checkbox to enable the draggable zero-point potential graphic, now only available in the advanced panel. · The graph vertical axes are now labeled. · The Advanced function of showing multiple forces now adds labels to each entry (for disambiguation). · The man no longer screams. · Labels and numbers no longer cover graph area. . Added a mute button.
