OPYC app for iPhone and iPad

OPYC* is a worldwide sailing simulation using physics. The game runs locally on your device, using laws of physics.

It is different from other web sailing games that run on a server, whether you are actively sailing or not. This allows the game to be more like real sailing, with waves, Chinese jibes, flapping sails and unexpected situations. Go out of control in strong winds. Its quantum sailing.

The simulation uses real wind forecasts from NOAA GFS.
Interpolated real time winds ( 144h forecast, 3 hour interval ).
