Physics Engine

A Physics Engine developed using C++ and OpenGL, designed to simulate basic physics. This engine allows users to apply fundamental physics principles, making it suitable for creating simple physics-based games like Flappy Bird.

Note

• The FPS of the device should be locked at 144 to get the exact same result

Features

• Verlet Integration: Efficiently simulates physics by using the Verlet integration method.
• Rendering:
  • Line Renderer: Renders lines for visual representation of joints or other elements.
  • Point Renderer: Renders points, useful for visualizing specific coordinates or particles.
• Joints:
  • Spring Joint: Simulates spring-like connections between objects.
  • Distance Joint: Maintains a fixed distance between connected objects.
• Collision Detection: Implements basic collision handling between objects.
• Movement Control:
  • Jump Movement: Triggered by the Space key.
  • Directional Control: Use the Up Arrow key to control the main square for jumping.
