Dear Prof Hwang,
I tried to remix the clock.
but i could not replicate the drag on of the minute and hour hand in your simulation model to have a second hand drag-able with the perfect transition of the second hand from 1 to 59. I have created a second hand drag-gable (
http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?topic=2276.0 ) but with bugs i cannot eliminated thus, i seek your help
i do not understand the codes inside the minute hand and the hour hand.
for example: in the minute hand
ctam=Math.atan2(mx,my);// ctaangle of minute hand
if(ctam<0)ctam+=pi2;
vm=(int)(ctam/pi2*T);
if(Math.abs(vm-vms)>40.){
// why 40? arbitrary if(vms<30){
// why 30? i thought it should be 60 minutes? vh=vh-1; // original was vh+=1; i think
testm=-1;
// my codes to debug which lines is executed }
else if(vms>30){ // why 30? i thought it should be 60 minutes?
vh=vh+1;
testm=1; // my codes to debug which lines is executed
}
if(vh==12 || vh==0){
// this should not impact the drag right? i have not implemented it if(hadd>0)hadd=0;
else hadd=12;
if(hours24)vh2=vh+hadd;
}
}
set();
//cta=(vs+vm*60+vh*3600*5)*pi2/T;
where
public void set () {
vs=vs+vm*60+vh*3600*5;
cta=vs*pi2/T;
}
could i request 1 thing?
an add-on to your simulation to have the second hand drag-gable without the bugs i have created in my remixed sim found here
http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?topic=2276.0please add some useful comments lines // so i can follow the program logic more closely to your thoughts.
Thanks!!
