openconstructor

how to get started

how to build your own

how to send and save

saving your creations

press the "file" button on the menu bar to open the file menu. from there you can save models to a file, or load ones from earlier

sending models to your friends

if you click the "share" button in the file menu, a bunch of letters will be added to the url in your address bar

if you send the new url to somebody else it will load your model automatically!

file format

the text at the end of the url is your model, translated into base64 encoding. using any public decoder will turn this into a json object describing your model

this json object contains all of the details about the masses and springs within your model, as well as configuration values such as gravity and friction

an experienced user could use this format to make precise edits to a model that would not be possible in the normal constructor!
