but what would REALLY speed development is following the Kerbal Space Program model
only at a much deeper level
using a game with an extremely realistic set of parameters that mimic real life as much as possible
then in game do everything from develop new materials, new configurations, new applications and test them
At that point you're just talking about a physics simulation program
that's part of it, yes; it's like having one library of programs that mimics reality as closely as possible in different areas and another set of libraries that builds and tests shit
one is for education
So just CAD and a physics simulation engine
more complicated than that
FAR more complicated
Once you go past a certain complexity and accuracy of simulation, there's no reason to make a 'game' out of it
but generally, wrapping engineering processes into an intergrated game enviornment with objectives
there is though for the same reason competiton generates new ideas
and that the OS envior is much more agile than the proprietary env
Once you hit a certain entry threshold where the game is too complex and simulation-oriented for a broad audience, you stop gaining anything by making it engaging for a broad audience
Because they won't play it
Engineers will continue to use the programs they already use, because those programs already do exactly what they need them to do
it would have to be an open framework and not a traditional game
something that you could plug modules into from the start to make programs for different purposes
I can see the advantage of having a merged program that does construction and physics simulation together, but if two separate programs can already do that, there's no major advantage to doing it all together
you want to develop control software for a plane or a ship but you don't have the ship to test you code
so you build a simulator that provides the same signals that you will receive from the actual devices and tranducers on the real thing
that 'stimulator' then provides the input signals and feedback that your control system interacts with
this way, you can continously integrate changes to your control software and test the shit out it before ever risking it's use on real world hardware
KSP is based
well, the MAJOR advantage is that you could mix and match the modules to create different simulators/control systems for differnt purposes; some in a game; some irl
some modules provide the same I/O and responses as a real world device; some modules control those devices, be they in the real world or in the game; this standardizes the interfaces and makes them interchangable
Sounds like an utter mess of a program
the point of modular systems is to reduce clutter.
as the end result
The selection process is perhaps the messiest part
@King Canuck what the fuck have you brought upon us
Canadians...
