Title: A physics engine I've been developing

This may or may not have something to do with RA3.

sodaplay?

No. Soft-body physics coded from scratch in Python.

Post by: System32 on January 18, 2010, 12:53:58 PM: still looks like sodaplay.

nice work, though.

Post by: RedSawn on January 18, 2010, 12:56:10 PM: That's interesting. What do you have planned for it, or is it just a personal project?

... Or I could of just looked at that.

Post by: Serge on January 18, 2010, 01:56:46 PM: It's mostly me learning how to program soft body physics engines. Next step are collisions (+qtrees for optimizations), then comes 3d. And then... we'll see.

Post by: somestrangeguy on January 18, 2010, 02:23:10 PM: You made the whole thing yourslef?
Nice, I always wanted to learn programming but my laziness is a MAJOR wall in my way...
If you can spare the time I have more freetime after January, I will still take enough time to do The Amazing Rage. You see my temporary job ends on 29th.

Post by: Madiaba on January 18, 2010, 08:28:49 PM: Nice, Serge. Whenever you can, I would appreciate a look through your py Soft Body PE...

Are you just playing around;.... you're not really starting from scratch are you? :eek:
Title: Re: A physics engine I've been developing
Post by: Serge on January 18, 2010, 11:12:53 PM: This is from scratch. After I do some optimizations, I'm gonna take care of collisions.

Post by: JoeBlo on January 19, 2010, 10:19:23 AM: really nice work Serge

I would be interested to see more of it, make sure you keep us updated ;)

Massive project. Daunting,...to say the least. :confused:

Quite Impressive, :bigsmile: ...

Thanks, Serge. :mrgreen: (I envy your time....)

Q. Is this PE better in Python than C++?

Of course not, but Python is better for rapid development. Once I have the system working stable (and it's more-or-less complete), I'll starting porting the engine to C / C++.

Also, thanks to effe I have made the constraint system more precise today, but it has also became a little bit unstable, I'll have to work it out.
