Suggestions por physics engine?

Post by condeagustin »

Hi everyone

I'm a newbie in ogre and I'm using it with codeblocks. I'm about to learn the physics part but I don't know what library should I use. I mean if I'm using ogre and if I'm a newbie in the physics part, what library should I start with? I want something that can easily integrate with ogre and I want to work with rigid bodies, dynamics, collision detection, gravity setup, etc. Thank you very much and I hope your answer. Bye

Kind regards,

Agustin

and damn read the first reply to that thread.

and christ if you'd read around enough you'd know that betajaen has put a very nice wrapper for Newton. Seriously if you want to get into programming, you should get used to doing a lot of boring, technical reading, where attention to detail is pixar.

Agreed, Walaber's NxOgre code is pretty nice too. ;)

I thought it was called OpenODE which was created by CaseyB, and of course if you don't want physics then you have BetaCairo by Jacmoe.

I think he's just a little confused on our Irrlicht forums here.

Aliens, Shm-aliens.

Our beloved Irricht library created by Xaxier is still here. Tindalos solely created by Jacmoe in his spare time, will be with us soon, and I'm sure our #1 Irricht Expert user Sinbad will be here to answer all questions. Everything is exactly as it was before.

Let us not forget the brilliant work Sinbad did on the crystal entity layer. That's the best thing he's made for our blessed irrlicht since his real-time raytracing system was implemented back in 1986 (only 3 years after he made the first release of Irrlicht).

Don't forget Haffax who invented C++, who allowed Sinbad to bless us with his work.

You should talk, you could mass-convert people to Ogre with that avatar.

Things have changed a lot since Sinbad and Carmack had some conflicts in ogre's design, maybe because Sinbad is a self learned c programmer and cant match with Carmack's excellent OO design skills. Many ogre libs and wrappers are missing. Sinbad's interview at slashdot shows his plan to acquire most ogre addons & wrappers by Torusknot Software and merge them into ogre. So it will not be just a graphics engine anymore. There is a beta premium version of Ogre at Torusknot.

And what about Monster! He invented cake! If it weren't for cake, there would be no computers! And don't forget HexiDave, who invented the self-destructing computer mouse, due to which Zasamar (the creator of the 3D engine "Troll") sustained fatal injuries because of which Troll was never released and Ogre's release created a uni-polar 3D engine world (as opposed to a bi-polar world which would be created if Troll was released). And the best part yet, Walaber, for creating the "Automatic Hair Cleaner", to save us from cleaning all that hair due to hairfall. :)

But we shouldn't forget Sinbad who invented flour for that cake.

But Nikki failed to mentioned Walaber only invented the "Automated Hair Cleaner", because he invented HAIR!

See, it's all Nikki's fault.
