CRobotApp name change

[brian soe]

CRobotApp encompasses the graphics, terminal, robots, dynamics, and database. I would suggest renaming it to CSimulatorApplication. CRobotApp suggests it only pertains to a single robot's controller.

What if the CRobotApp is controlling an actual robot? (No simulation involved)

[brian soe]

It is still simulating the robot properties for the control formulation. The application encompasses a lot more than a robot controller, even if we may not use all the features for a specific application. Especially because it can simulate/control multiple robots, handle the graphics, and Gerald is adding a second dynamics engine (one for the robot controller, and one for the world dynamics).

[brian soe]

I think of CRobot as the robot application, and CRobotApp as the simulation application.

[Samir Menon]

I'm still not convinced. :-P.. An "application" is general enough to subsume anything. It "might" involve a simulation. It might just be testing the inertial properties of a robot at different points in space.

Please give me a better reason to rename things.

Also, I don't consider SCL to be a simulator in any sense. We provide some sample simulation environments to make it useful.

Please read above and close if you can't find a better reason! ;-)

Closing.
