### Overview

The goal of this project is to implement a virtual autopilot for a sailing boat as well as a simulation environment.

At the current stage I have no idea how to do this so I'm just playing around.

### Demo

Here's a [live demo](http://langalex.github.io/autopilot).

### Usage

Runs completely in the browser. To run:

    npm install -g ember-cli

    ember server

To build:

    ember build

### Future Ideas

* wind: changing direction, gusts

* steer to wind angle

* waves pushing the boat around

* boat speed, influence of rudders, wind angle

* angular momentum of the boat

* preventing gybes/tacks

* tacking, gybing

* repeatable tests for autopilot behavior

* sailing to waypoints
