Hello All,
I've made a demo of the physics engine ("fzxNGN") I've been working for the last few years. Its a port of the Impulse engine written by Randy Gaul. Its been 100% ported to QB64 and not a 3rd part wrapper. Some may recognize the demo from a few years back, I've simply updated it to the newer engine, and changed some of the graphics.
Inside the compressed file you will find two directories, "fzxNGN_BASE_v2" and "fzxDemo" The "fzxNGN_BASE" is the core of the engine. The actual demo is located in "fzxDemo/fzxDemo.bas". Hopefully, all you have to do is run the "fzxDemo.bas" to play with the demo. I develop in Linux, so there may be some changes needed for Windows and Mac. And the speed of your machine may vary from mine so adjusting the dt(delta time) and iterations may help. My machine is probably old enough to drive a car in my state.
The idea of this mini game is to cross the sketchy bridge and then make the loop-to-loop. Beware the sketchy bridge will break. The more red the bridge is, the more stress its under. This was in part a test of a game mechanic I was kicking around for a driving/platformer.
Current features:
Caveats:
As far as license goes:
I will try to use this thread to post more updates for the engine.

Code: (Select All)
DIM AS LONG iterations: iterations = 2
DIM SHARED AS DOUBLE dt: dt = 1 / 60The idea of this mini game is to cross the sketchy bridge and then make the loop-to-loop. Beware the sketchy bridge will break. The more red the bridge is, the more stress its under. This was in part a test of a game mechanic I was kicking around for a driving/platformer.
Current features:
- Rigid body simulation
- Circle and polygon primitives
- Joint simulation
- Camera library to help with large play fields
- Input Library
- Finite State machine helper functions
- Perlin noise library
- XML parsing library - (not 100% and not fully integrated)
- LERP functions
- FPS helper functions
- Countless vector, matrix math functions
Caveats:
- Not documented
- Work in progress
- Not fully optimized
- Possibility of vestigial code, or code that has yet to be updated.
