PhysicsLib is a library of rigid body physics routines and demos, designed for use in real-time VR and entertainment applications. Tutorial style documentation designed to explain the concepts used in the code (in addition to reference documentation) is included.

Initial features:

• Rigid body and particle primitives
• Simple collision detection
• Contact point determination
• A choice of simple integrators (mid-point and RK4, adaptive step size)
• Demo apps demonstrating important concepts, using e.g. OpenGL

Current Status: Most of this code is already done; it just needs a lot of cleaning up. I will put the code into CVS fairly soon. After which I will begin work on enhancments.

Note: The rest of this site is under construction...
