Gravity and Jitter

I am building a home brew physics engine for my game.
My game is based on piles of rigid bodies.
The method I am using for simulating physics is based purely on collisions and momentum. I use this method even for gravity.

The times I feel like i need global variables is:
When I have a lot of variables that everyone needs to know.
When I reach this point I usually pass a "Parameters" object to all of my objects.
This Params object contains all of my large scope data... |

It all depends on the kind of games you want to make:
C/C++:
- High performance top of the line Games:C/C++
- Games that use the latest top of the line 3rd party engines: C/C++
- Compiles for every platform (as long as you don't use direct... |

It does decrease as use shorter time slices, but this of course greatly increases CPU consumption.

Physics and Floating Point Math

I am not going to use any vectorized instructions, just basic floating point operations.
I do not have the resources to supply a server which will do all real-time physics computations.
So,
As I see it I have 3 possible approaches:

Does AGP memory still exist now?
|
No it not.
AGP memory is computer memory (as opposed to GFX memory). Which is used to transfer data to the GFX card memory.
As opposed to writing to the GFX memory word after word of data you can put an entire vector of data (like a Vertex Buff... |

Proper bird's eye view?

Your problem is probably somthing silly like:
1) You are looking at the bottom of your scene
2) Lighting is not set (would cause the sides of your shapes to "blend in with the tops)
3)Culling problems (You are backface culling the sides of your s... |

C++ Template

what you are looking for is called reflection. sadly standard c++ has no refelction. luckily specific c++ implementations such as visual c++ contain reflection. i think the keyword there is similar to the 'instanceof' keyword in java. |

to answer your second question first: sure, you can use templates in classes. take a look at stl (standard library) for several useful examples (vector,set,...).

First let me suggest that you use python or lua instead of your own scripting language. they have ready made interfaces to integrate with other languages. these interfaces are well documented.
