I made the 1,000th commit!
Today I made the 1,000th commit to GarlicSim! Here’s the commit entry for it on GitHub. The lucky commit shows me editing the newly created installer script for GarlicSim. That’s right, I’m making an Inno Setup installer which will install the py2exe distribution of GarlicSim. What this means in non-geek is that every Windows user could install GarlicSim, regardless of whether he has Python or any scientific packages installed.
I’m also bundling the whole of NumPy and Scipy with it, in case someone will want to use these from GarlicSim’s shell.
So anyway, I’m still working hard. The bad news is that I probably won’t be doing the 3D Mayavi simulation in time for the 0.5 release— Sorry about that. Also the “Crunching” widget will probably be postponed to 0.6 as well.
But I’m still working on a lot of cool stuff. I’m also thinking of making a basic script to create an empty simpack, like Django has for creating an empty project. I’ll also make a tutorial, “Writing your first simpack.” This will help new people get started with GarlicSim, which is important.
Back to work now…
