topside 0.2.0

A simulator for rocket launch operations

Topside: Technical Operations Procedures Simulator & Integrated Development Environment

Waterloo Rocketry's operations simulator is a tool for modelling and simulating rocket launch systems and procedures.

Requirements

If you just want to use or develop the Topside core libraries, Python 3.7 or newer is required. If you want to build a standalone application, currently only Python 3.7 releases are supported, as PyInstaller requires <=3.7 and dataclasses require >=3.7.

Required Python packages can be installed using pip install -r requirements.txt.

Building a standalone application

The tools/ directory contains two scripts for building a standalone application: build_cxfreeze.sh and build_pyinstaller.sh. However, currently only the PyInstaller build is functional due to upstream bugs in the interaction between SciPy, cx_Freeze, and Cython.

Building a standalone application should be as simple as running build_pyinstaller.sh. The resulting application can be found at dist/Topside/Topside.exe.
