-
-Physics engines are a fun and interesting way to learn about the laws of
-physics, as well as computer science. They provide a real-time simulation of
-common physical phenomena, and therefore illustrate theoretical concepts such as
-the equations that dictate the motion of objects.
-
-The goal of this project was to extend an existing physics engine built for
-demonstration purposes. This engine was initially designed and developed to
-simulate circular objects ("balls") in 2D.
-
-With this project, we intended to extend this engine to also simulate arbitrary
-polygons, again in a physically accurate way. The main technical challenges of
-the project is therefore the correct simulation of the dynamics of rigid,
-polygonal objects. In particular, we developed a model of polygonal rigid
-objects:
-
-- we implemented a simulation of their inertial motion, possibly in the
-  presence of a constant force field such as gravity;
-- we detect collisions between objects;
-- we compute and then simulate the dynamic effects of collisions.
-
-The simulations are animated and displayed in real-time. It is also therefore
-crucial that the simulation code be efficient to obtain smooth animations.

-## Before vs After
-
-A little of context for the follow videos:
-
-- in the first video, the special ball with an arrow inside is a "spaceship",
-  that can be controlled by the user;
-- the yellow bar that appears after midway through both videos represent the
-  restitution coefficient of the collision resolution (the lower it is, the
-  greater the dampening on impact between objects);
-- the white line with a ball at the end that appears after the restitution
-  coefficient bar represents the gravity vector that gets applied to the speed
-  of each object at each frame, the ball is the direction the vector is pointing
-  it.
