Physics Engine. I decided to make my own my goal was to create a physics engine that can handle stuff that Unity usually does for you like rigidbodies!

I created my own physics engine. I tried to make it as much like unity so that I can flex and show others that I can actually do something in my life. I created features like colliding objects, velocity, acceleration, gravity and much more. I spent a lot of time working on my rendering engine to allow me to draw 2D and 3D shapes on the screen. I got inspired by jdh and Dani to start making videos again so here is this. Also I ended up submitting this project for my university assignment and somehow actually passed lol.

I think you should try resolving collisions instead of pushing them or moving both apart. There are a few algorithms I would suggest like the Separating Axis Theorem or GJK. This will make it so objects don't intersect with each other. Another thing would be a spacial partitioning tree for faster collision detection. I could go on about physics engines as I made a 2D one myself and will make a 3D one in the future with all the features. For buoyancy you can check the volume of the intersection between the plane and sphere and add a buoyant force * volume.

@ZygerGFX Жыл бұрын

I did do collision resolution. Just explained it differently in the video because I thought people would understand more easily. As for the spacial partitioning tree I'll check it put as I've never heard of it before. And that's awesome that you've made one before I might give a 2d on a go at some point 😄

Oh my god this gave me ptsd flashbacks. Back in the days in university we also had to create a physics engine in 3d. Have support for slopes, spheres, cubes, rectangles and then created a 'simple' pinball game to show that the engine works. We had a deadline of 6 weeks, and you were not allowed to use any libraries or whatsoever except for DirectX or equivalent, as long as you wrote all the math yourself, and collisions, responses, et cetera. No other sources or pre-finished things were allowed, you had to understand everything you wrote, document it and then have an exam on the mathematics. Worst thing I ever had in my life. Can't believe you'd just do this for fun 🤣 Edit: I failed the class hard and redid that class a year later, after 3 months of hardcore studying before it even begins. I thankfully passed.

It was quite interesting hearing you learning those concepts. It looks like your integrator isn't correct, though, which would explain why bouncing the spheres off of each other looked janky. When things fall, you should be able to see their velocity build up over time. A simple integrator would be the leap-frog algorithm. It assumes that acceleration is only a function of position and time, but it can be written in a few lines of code and it only has a quadratic error term.

The correct model of collisions is to conserve the 3D momentum before and after, and to conserve X% of the kinetic energy incoming and outgoing to each collision (you could make X depend on the materials involved in the collision, or have some random element). Also you wrote a = v0 - v t but you probably meant v = v0 + at.

@mariovelez578 Жыл бұрын

CCD (continuous collision detection) is very difficult to implement correctly. The simplest one might be a sweep algorithm, but it gets more complex when you add in rotation or want it accurate. Erin Catto, the creator of Box2D, did a GDC talk about his physics engine where he explained in depth how he did it with a kind of binary search. Also, it's only really worth it if you have very fast-moving objects, like projectiles, and at that point it's a lot better to use a ray cast. Most tunneling problems (when an object moves fast enough to pass through another object without touching) can be solved with substeps.

@AlexBlackfrost Жыл бұрын

Nice video; you should learn how to use reference for performance reasons, especially in a physic engine, like, bool CollisionHandler::CheckCollision(const BoundingBox &box1, const BoundingBox &box2) { const Vector3d &box1Min = box1.GetMin(); .... Ok, first, the reference, then learn the const; it's nice to have. ;) In c# class is a reference by default, and the struct is a copy. In c++, by default, class, and struct are passed as copy, which is helpful in some cases, but both class and struct should be given to another function (or returned, when possible) as a ref or pointer (ref has the advantage of having a friendlier interface . instead of ->) In the case of this function, you create (temporary) 2 copies of BoundingBox, then 4 more at the start. A lot of time is lost for a function that can be called millions of times per second ;p I hope that will help you; keep up the excellent work.
