Rigid Body Dynamics - Chris Hecker's Website. Note: the text of this page is from my original website, and I haven't updated it in a while. Make sure you look at the physics category for all of the articles related to rigid body dynamics. I started getting interested in high end physical simulation for games. Since I didn't know anything about physics or know. I had calculus in high school and enjoyed it, but had.
I had to teach myself everything from scratch. Let me just say it was a total blast.

Game Bonus Checker 2 Not Working
I highly recommend everyone. As a bonus, it seems that the more we learn, the. As much fun as I had figuring this stuff out, I sure would have. I was. starting. So, I've created this web page in the hopes I can help. Physics Articles.
I wrote a total of four articles about rigid body dynamics for Game Developer Magazine. I've posted them as PDF files, so they.
There are downsides to PDF. Acrobat sucks at letting. Adobe thinks a monitor is a. However, you should think of the latter. If. people complain enough I'll figure out how to fix them.] Please.
Physics, Part 1: The Next Frontier - Oct/Nov 9. This is the introduction to the physics series. It covers the linear parts of 2.
D rigid body mechanics, and a little bit of numerical integration. Physics, Part 2: Angular Effects - Dec/Jan 9. This article covers 2. D angular rigid body mechanics and the overall 2. D dynamics algorithm.
Physics, Part 3: Collision Response - Feb/Mar 9. We finish off 2. D physics with collision response, including the angular effects induced by a collision.
The 2. D physics sample, discussed below, demonstrates all the concepts learned so far. Physics, Part 4: The Third Dimension - June 9. The final article in the series. To pack in all the 3.
D equivalents of the first three articles, I created this monster of an article. It comes in at twice the length of the others, with 6. Four articles, no matter how long, are just not enough to do justice. If you plan on using real dynamics in your.
Physics References. The. 3. D sample application below shows the beginnings of. Physics Samples. I created two sample applications to accompany my physics articles. Remember, these are just sample programs, not the ultimate physics. They're really just a translation of the equations in my. They're fun to play. These apps will. get you started, but not much more than that.
The most obvious thing the samples are missing is inter- body collisions. They don't do collision detection between bodies, but only between.
It wouldn't be too hard to add a very simple. I didn't have time. The second biggest problem is the lame integrator used in both apps. Both samples are relatively unstable because I'm using the simplest. Euler integrator. If you play with the spring and damping. There are tons of books on numerical integration to help.
The 2. D Physics Sample, a 3. PK- zipped file. Includes Win. I never quite got finished porting this app to the mac, but the code is quite portable (the simulator talks to the OS code through a few functions in iface. A couple people have hacked up mac ports, but I haven't had time to integrate them with the code and update the zip. Some other people have ported it to Java, so I might just include that here for kicks. The 3. D Physics Sample, a 4. PK- zipped file. Includes Win.
I used Open. GL for the 3. D rendering in this sample, so it's nice and clean and portable. In addition to the stock Win. I always use (abuse?) for my test apps, I also hacked up a GLUT wrapper and included it in the zip, so any platform that supports Open. GL and has a GLUT port should run the app (make sure you fix the Get.
Time function in glut. I've tested it on Win. I've also tested it on the Mac. OS using GLUT with Mac Mesa and with Conix's Open. GL. The performance is totally acceptable for the software renderers on a low- end (1. Mhz) Pentium or Power.
PC. Physics References. I've moved the annotated physics references here.
