Hello

A friend of me has written a language that permit to define the way a kite fly. I wrote a software that permit to write easily in this language. You can found the language document here (only in french for the moment) and the software here. You can write figures, trick and ballet for 1,2 or 4 lines kites, indoor or outdoor. With the software you have a 3D window that permit to see position of the kite during the figure when the soft will be finished, A 3D window(another) will permit to simulate the figures/trick/ballets.

Tu use it, you need .net framework 3.5 installed (if not installed, you will get an error about xml.link on lauch) and dirctX 9.c update march 2008 (if not installed you will get an error about 3DSate8.dll on opening 3D preview window). this 2 soft are on the download page of kiteswap. It works fine unde XP and Vista but only on Windows, not Linux or Mac.

A last word, it is localised in english.

Have fun.

Hi

A new version has been posted. She will be of great help for tose tahs creating ballet... :

-software has been renamed from KiteSwap to KiteSwap editor to avoid confusion.

-added a button in the toolbar allowing to save active window content.

-Rotation tyoe "a" and "b" has been separated from rotation "r" and "l" to permit more movement possibilities.

-3D preview window show exact combination of rotatons during ther choice in rotation selection window and not only the rotation in course of selection.

-The visual ground positionment window has been modified to permit much more possibility of positioning

-added a sub-menu in "?" menu allowing to show (or not) the visual ground positioning window in au automatic way

-Altitude 7 Zenith has been moved from 7 to 8 allowing to create a new 7 altitude for inddor between 6 and 8.

-When a music is playing in ballet, the name of figure to execute is showing as well figure to follow.

-It is possible to activate speech synthesis to read aloud figure to be executed during music is playuing

-You can record music and voice in a MP3 file to get a training music (see exemple "tesvoix")

-During printing of a ballt and after the figures grid was printing, you can choose to print, or not, the KS Partition of the ballet.

Vista users, please read help about how to activate windows mixer.
