Prototype NASA game to be released on Steam next week
|
My company is partnering with NASA to develop a NASA-themed MMO. It'll take quite a while to complete the full MMO. In the meantime, we have developed a gameplay prototype/proof-of-concept mini game, and finally received approvals to release it. It'l... |

LaTeX - based equations in gamedev.net forums
|
Folks,
There is a sticky thread in another forum that shows how you can embed fancy LaTeX-based equations in your forum posts. That functionality seems really beneficial to the math & physics forum so I'm linking to the other thread here. Here is... |

List of physics engines and reference material (updated 23 Feb 2010)
|
Someone suggested that it might be useful to have a sticky list of physics engines and reference material available here (for convenience...the info is all available elsewhere). So, I am giving it a try.
This thread is not for discussions. It is s... |

the updated forum FAQ
|
Folks,
I have made some edits to the Forum FAQ. Mostly to correct broken links (perhaps not all of them), and fix outdated information about physics middleware and freeware.
I invite you to review the FAQ. Let me know what you like, or don't li... |

"Dynamics of Atmospheric Flight" republished
|
This is for anyone interested in creating a realistic flight simulator (e.g., very realistic vs. arcade-style physics).
Bernard Etkin's classic text, "Dynamics of Atmospheric Flight" has been republished, sometime last year (2005). This is tr... |

Photos of my past experiments in airplane design
|
Folks,
I have to admit this is somewhat off topic, but not 100% off topic. The subject of airplane flight simulation comes around often here at gamedev. Some of you know that in a past life I was an aerospace engineer doing some work in the design... |

Forum Homework Policy Overview
|
Hello All,
I’ll get right to the point.
I’ve noticed an increase lately in the number of posts that are either homework questions, or are indistinguishable from homework. I wanted to quickly review the policy for you. Here is the bo... |

Verlet sucks...need to move to the "true" RBD physics
|
I might not fully understand your goals, but if part of your idea is to have a vehicle that can deform but always returns to its original shape...I would also suggest that you at least read up on using linear modal analysis (vibration analysis)... |

If you want to do rigid body dynamics, why not use an existing physics engine (Bullet, PhysX, ...)? If you are, as you wrote, "Im really new to this field of physics," I would think you'd want to avoid the complexities and frustration of building a p... |

Billiards, OpenGL and Tokamak

I think the way I'd suggest doing this, given your comment that you're a noob in meshes, :), would be to represent the table as a set of boxes. The idea is to make one box whose top sits at the bottom of the pockets. Then make a bunch of other b... |

I'm moving this to the GDNet Comments, Suggestions, and Ideas forum, which is more appropriate for the post. |

little trouble with creating real-time vehicle PhysX

The kinematic body would only be for the steering column, and it would affect the wheels via a joint that associates only the appropriate rotation component of the wheels....no translation. The steering column to wheels joint must not link... |

Calcualte distance

I assume you mean the minimum distance, e.g., the distance where the boxes come closest to touching each other? |

[PhysX] Scene doesn't simulate?

Need more information. What does your object setup code look like? The code you provided doesn't actually add anything to simulate into the scene. What exactly are you calling getGlobalPosition for? |

One way, I think, would be to create a kinematic body whose only purpose is to set an orientation, a steering column or something. When you move your controller, just explicitly have that change the kinematic steering column orientation. Now, fo... |
