\abstract {
|
|
Physics engines are a fun and interesting way to learn about a lot of
|
|
different subjects. First the theoretical concepts, such as the equations
|
|
that dictate the motion of the objects, together with their components, need
|
|
to be thoroughly understood. Then there is the necessity of finding a way to
|
|
represent all of those concepts in a given programming language and to
|
|
make them as efficient as possible so that the simulation runs fluidly.
|
|
The task to be completed here was to extend an already existing
|
|
physics engine that only made circles bounce off each other. The extension
|
|
was focused on having the ability to generate some arbitrary polygons and
|
|
make them bounce off each other in a physically accurate way. The main
|
|
issues that rose up during the development of the extension: determining the
|
|
inertia of a arbitrary polygon, which is important for realistic
|
|
impacts; having an accurate collision detection system, which allows the
|
|
engine to know when to make two polygons bounce off each other. Once those
|
|
aspects were worked on and polished, the rest of the implementation went
|
|
smoothly.
