A rough simulation of a sail boat (2D Wireframe)

Link : http://firstglitch.com/html_projects/sailboat/sail-gl.html This is a very rough simulation of a sail boat (2D wireframe), that you can sail using force of "wind" (modeled as a million particles, animated using webgl) striking on the sails. The position of the wind particles and the forces of the particles striking on the sails is computed in WebGL shaders. The forces are NOT re-calculated at each frame. Which might cause some artifacts. For example, the boat might start moving after the wind has passed, if you continue adjusting the rudder and sail angle. You…

    This is a simulator of a frigate from about 1800. It has realistic physics, tuned to match historical performance. The UI is based around commands given in period naval language. Rather than use the current weather, it has a full year's weather data (for 1980 - taken from https://psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/data.ncep.reanalysis2.html). This allows the weather to change realistically under time acceleration. To learn the basics of handling a square-rigged ship, start the "Harbour" scenario, click on the instructions button at the bottom left, and follow the instructions…
