37(^) always looking for opportunities to use
MojoWorld for that purpose. We’d like to see it
used in primary schools, as a gentle introduction
to certain aspects of maths and science. It
certainly is more appealing than the standard
treatment of maths, which is extremely dry, for
reasons of the cultural history of mathematics.
Huw: I know you've been involved in fractal
landscapes for quite some time. How do you
think MojoWorld compares with the 'competition'
— Bryce, Vue etc. — and what do you think will
be the state of the art in 5 or 10 years?
KM: As I said earlier, all the other packages are
more mature, as they’ve all been around for
years already. They are generally more full-
featured; for instance, most have vegetation,
which MojoWorld does not yet have. [Basic trees
and forests arrived in MojoWorld in version 3.1,
as well as camera-facing billboards which can be
used as trees, Ed.].
