yes, I did :) my compiler was complaining about calling
sin(int), but I fixed it quickly. Today I've done a lot
of reformatting, so your stuff jumped the reformatting
bandwagon.

yes, projects/ directory was there only for msvc/ inside,
but I've discovered that qmake works under windwos just as
good. So it made possible to get rid of projects/ and stick
to one tree.

you can try rapidsvn, it's good for browsing. Especially
useful for me is right_click->log (although it takes time
to complete)

sorry, I was writing to myself, to not forget the idea.
So it can be unclear to other people.

yes, exactly.

that will be useful, I'll remember that

hm, maybe now I have an idea how to do that. That would be another
frontend for yade. Some kind of interpreter, just like bash, script-fu
or ocaml.

it would execute commands, for example one per line, along with their
arguments. You could call any class and its function by typing its
name and its arguments.

For that half of the work is done: every class in yade has a name as a
string, and every serializable attribute of a class has a name as a
string too. But functions do not have names, inside yade they are just a
memory address.

If we could identify each function of each class with its name, then we
would have everything to have a total scripting power.

this sounds temptimg. I will think about that.
