Physics Simulation

by Aaron Jacobs

Description

A physics simulation (written in C++ / GLUT / OpenGL) involving springs, simple collisions, and multiple lights (with phong shading).

Features

• Smooth physics integration (RK4 integration, with a hard timestep and interpolated frames)
• Vector-based implicit picking (no 2-pass rendering!)
• Support for multiple spring forces (per object); springs between physics objects
• Support for up to 10 lights
• Adding / removing models, springs, and lights in real time
• Grabbing / dragging models with the mouse (via an attached spring)

Warning: code is not at all guarenteed to be clean, in any sense of the word, and will only build (as is) on OS X.
