Hey everyone,
I read a thread about a 3D Simulation for the 2014 Tossup game about an hour ago, and it reminded me of a program that Prem C. and I had been working on as a side-project during and for the In The Zone season. We were supposed to release this on April 1st, but stuff happened, so we ended up dropping it in the VToW discord on 4/20, and I completely forgot to release it on the VexForum. This was intended to be used as a visual tool for simulations of runs without a robot present, and we used it to help plan autons, driver practice, strategy, and more. We’re pretty proud of it, so it’d mean a lot if you guys checked it out.
It was written solely in Java and is completely open-source (with extensive in-line documentation), and is surprisingly stable with almost every feature we could think of.
The Feature List Includes:
- XBOX controller compatibility*
- Easy usability including:
- Mobile Goal Intake Toggle
- Autostack Toggle for Mobile Goal and Stationary Goal Stacking
- Hotkey Based Match Mode Switching
- Up to 4 Robots playing at a time
- User-customizable Robot specifications in the Robot Builder
- RobotC Time-based Auton Code Generation from Re-run
- User-creatable autonomouses (autonomi?) with Rerun
- Automated Tournament Manager
- CPU/RAM statistics in real time
- 5 unique modes
- Score Counter in real time
- Native Screenshots
- Time-Based Automatic "Dark Mode"
- Match Sounds (yay)
All it is a .jar file to install, hosted on Google Drive so all of you untrustful boiz can use its inbuilt virus-checker. Check out the site for the instruction wiki, GitHub link, and more: http://www.dvhsrobotics.com/5776e-itz-sim.html
Of course, this sim isn’t too useful right now, but as the code and documentation are all open, it might help out anyone that wants to adapt this to the Turning Point game.

Thanks a ton,

NOTE: The program was developed with Java 8, so if it doesn’t run at first, you might want to check to see if you have Java 8 or a higher version installed.
