OE-Cake
Encyclopedia
OE-Cake, OE-CAKE! or OE Cake is a 2.5D fluids-based demonstration program for Prometech Software Inc.'s PhysiCafe and Octave Engine which is one of the first engines able to have the ability to process water and other materials in real-time. In the program, which acts as a physics
-based paint program, users can insert objects and see them interact under the laws of physics. It has an advanced fluid simulation, and support for objects like as gases, rigid objects and elastic. With the escape-codes, users can also mix the properties of elements together. Pictures may also be added to the simulation.
The name OE-Cake comes from this engine; its name therefore means "OctaveEngine Cake".
for saving scenes made using the program.
In OE-Cake version 1.1b, the file format was changed. Version 1.0b files can be opened with version 1.1.2b.
Version 1.1.2b files cannot be properly opened in version 1.0b.
Physics
Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through spacetime, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.Physics is one of the oldest academic...

File format
OE-Cake uses the .OEC file formatFile format
A file format is a particular way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file.Since a disk drive, or indeed any computer storage, can store only bits, the computer must have some way of converting information to 0s and 1s and vice-versa. There are different kinds of formats for...

Water
Just what it says, is normally medium blue, but can change colour to pastrel blue when in movement, just like in real life. Forms gas when heated.String
Just a series of purple connected dots that form a rope together, it can stretch a bit, but not as much as elastic. Breaks when heated.Elastic
A yellowish element, just like String, only it can stretch a lot, and it retains it shape better. Breaks when heated.Brittle
A pink element, a lot like elastic, but this can break under pressure. Also breaks when heated.Rigid Axis
The same as rigid, only a slightly brighter tone of green, and it floats around its center.Rice
A pastel pink element, the dots you draw with them are ordered in groups of two, just like rice. It can cause a lot of lag when using lots of it.Powder
Just a green powder, every dot moves independent from each other, but it explodes when heated.External links
