GVB(1)

💖 GVB(1) — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the General Commands Manual page for gvb, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 1am, because you deserve to actually get it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gvb — simulate 1 and 2-dimensional vibrations in a nice GUI 🌈

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gvb

that's it. that's the whole thing. no flags, no args, just vibes. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this manual page documents briefly the gvb command — yeah bestie, it literally says "briefly", we're keeping it real.

gvb is a program that lets you simulate waves and vibrations with:

  • given starting positions 🌸
  • a calculation method 🧚
  • and a graphical appearance ✨

now listen, here's the part where you need to pay attention because it's giving danger: it is easy to get the GUI nearly stuck if you start it with too much points. 💀 the maximum number of points that an average computer can manage while remaining responsive is probably about 200. like, no cap.

but wait — there's an exception 🎀 and it's a cute one: if you are dumping frames to create an animation, you probably want a good quality and won't mind if the GUI is almost stuck. so in that case, go off. 👑

also, bestie, pay attention to the fact that the "eig" mode requires a lot of precalculation 😭. in this mode, calculating in 2 dimensions with just 15 points per dimension can already require some minutes, depending on CPU power. so like... maybe go make a snack. 🍓
