//  Title

Interactive Simulation of Fish


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Summary

This project simulates fish shapes and locomotion.



////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Computational simulation

Each fish's steady motion is modelled
by a sine wave. The start-up motion is
modelled by "Animation of Fish Swimming"

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Static scene design

The simulation takes place within a cube.


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Dynamic scene

The fish move around randomly. Different fish have different
shapes. 
Or maybe like boids

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// 3D interaction

The user can adjust the shape of a fish by manipulating
the paramaters via draggers.

The user can translate and rotate a fish by pausing
the simulation.





////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// 2D interaction

The File menu lets the user open a configuration of fish
to run. A user can also save the current state of the fish.

The Help menu prints a report on fish morphometry and motion.

// Documentation

A Web area documenting the project will be placed within
my course Web area.

The project Web area includes

  screen shots and animated gifs of my interactive simulation

  a description of how to use the 3D and 2D interactions,
  with figures to illustrate their use

  a link to my source code tarball
  
  installation instructions
