Fixing
Alright, I've decided to scrap everything I've ever written for this program and start from scratch. It all works, but its not synchronizing and meshing together like I would like it to. This is even further complicated by a damn tenacious virus that got onto to my computer. So its all going to come to a complete and total halt for a few weeks.
Program-wise, I'm going to sit down with my physics notebook, my textbook and another notebook and do a complete layout on paper, starting with generals and working down to specifics. This will take a good deal of time, considering I have to interleave this with schoolwork, my job in the super-computing lab, and just having a life. I know I said I would get this done, like I said I would get GasLaws done, but things change and life happens in between. I mean, Rome wasn't built in a day, but I'll try to get it done faster than they did.

Good Health to You and Your Computer

Refined and still refinining.
Okie dokie, more updates. As an aside, have you begun to notice this mainly happens on Friday night or early on Saturday. Anyway, I have made a lot of the refinements I was talking about earlier, and I have begun work on a class to deal with charged plates. I have it set up to do two dimensions fairly well, but for completeness, I would really like to be able to get the three dimensions in working order. I went back into the stuff I had written earlier this year and began scanning over what I should scrap and what I should save, but that all will come in time.

Alright, while I was at school today, I laid down some basic electricity classes, namely the primary foundation classes for electricity. These classes are: Point, which I will merge into the program as a whole, since I think it is a more elegant design than what I had before; ChargedParticle, which is exactly as you would think it would mean; ElectricalConstants, which holds constants that are usefull beyond ChargedPartical, I am debating whether or not to change this name to something more meaningful to the context, but it will work right now. As far as I can tell, it seems to be working nicely, solving some simple and basic problems I put in as refference cases. This all will get expanded as time goes on. Also, I will shortly figure out how to make ChargedParticle be a descendant of the simple Particle class, but that is later, after I have the framework under control.

Plans and Refinements
Alright, here's the first piece of news on the project. I've begun to lay out plans for the electro-magnetism section. Nothing concrete yet, just laying down some ideas, taking notes and solving classic case situations. Also, I have made some serious refinements to the original sections, the mechanics portion, simplifying a lot of processes. I have also decided to remove the variable forces, at least with respect to classical mechanics, for the time being. The variable forces will obviously be there in a temporary form for gravitational and electro-magnetic fields.

Happy Computing

Beginnings
Alrighty, this is where I will make logs as I work on the physics progam, which I have given the name Projekt Physik. As I work on it, I'll post where I am with it. Also when I get stuck on something, I will post my problem and solicit help for it. This would be it for now, I need sleep.
