Topside is a simulation environment 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

Python 3.7 is required. (Newer versions may not be compatible with the application)

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.
