Flag Simulator 🏳️💾️

Welcome to the Flag Simulator, the ultimate tool for vexillology enthusiasts! This software allows you to explore, create, and interact with flags in a way you've never experienced before. Whether you're a hobbyist, a student, or a professional, this simulator offers a unique platform to engage with flags from around the world.

Table of Contents

Introduction

Vexillology is the study of flags, their history, and their symbolism. The Flag Simulator is designed to bring this fascinating field to life. With this software, you can manipulate flags, see how they behave in different conditions, and learn about their meanings.

This project is a labor of love, aimed at providing a comprehensive and interactive experience for users interested in flags.

Features

  • Create Custom Flags: Design your own flags using a variety of shapes, colors, and symbols.
  • Physics Simulation: See how flags react to wind and other forces in real-time.
  • Flag Database: Access a rich library of flags from different countries and regions.
  • Educational Resources: Learn about the history and significance of various flags.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Navigate easily through the application with an intuitive design.
  • Multi-Platform Support: Run the simulator on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
