Physics::Particles version 1.02
===============================

This module simulates a system of particles and the forces they
excert on one another.

As of version 1.00, there has been a major interface change and hence,
version 1.00 and later are not compatible to versions before 1.00.
Furthermore, Physics::Particles version 1.00 is not compatible to
versions of Physics::Springs and Physics::Springs::Friction below 1.00.

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

   perl Build.PL
   ./Build
   ./Build test
   ./Build install

On platforms that don't support the "./" notation, that would be:

   perl Build.PL
   perl Build
   perl Build test
   perl Build install

If you wish, you may use the old MakeMaker style instead:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make test
   make install
   pray

DEPENDENCIES

This module requires these other modules and libraries:

  Test::More
  Data::Dumper

Some examples may need any of the following distributions:

  Math::Project3D
  Math::Project3D::Plot

Change Log

Revision history for Perl extension Physics::Particles.

1.02  Fri Mar 16 19:33:12 2007
  - Corrected bug in examples/example2.pl

1.01  Mon Oct 10 21:25:38 2005
	- Switched to Module::Build
	- Generate distribution upgrades.

1.00  Sun Jul  6 17:54:49 2003
	- Interface changes!
	- Rewrote parts of the module to increase accuracy
	- Forces aren't supposed to modify particles directly now
	  but instead return a force vector.
	- Due to the changes mentioned above, the inner-solar-system
	  simulation broke. Can't get it to work because of the damned
	  constants involved. There are, however, better examples
	  in the Physics::Springs and Physics::Springs::Friction modules.

0.10  Wed Mar 26 12:32:56 2003
	- Namespace changed from Simulation::Particle to
	  Physics::Particle as suggested on the modules list.
	- Several small bugfixes I forgot about.

0.02  Fri Jan 31 12:58:10 2003
	- original version as uploaded to CPAN.
