I’m developing an application for Freight purposes. I want to add a cargo container loading simulator to the application to optimize the container loading, so the user can load cartons into the container manually like a 3D puzzle game. Carton dimensions and container dimensions comes from a database table.
What is the suitable software or add-on to be used to build this kind of simulator?
I see that this question has a visual-studio-lightswitch tag, so I’ll reply to that aspect.
You would need to create a custom Silverlight control to graphically display the information as you describe. There’s no LS built-in control that would do that. So you’d need some working knowledge of Silverlight (which LS currently uses as its presentation technology – HTML 5 support is being currently developed by the LS team).
As for the rest of the application, the answer to “could it be done in LS” is “probably”. LS is great for “forms over data” type applications. But it can also be extended (with the custom Silverlight controls I mentioned earlier).
