C++ Physics Engine

Platforms: Windows​

Technology: C++, Windows, SFML, Google tests and Physics programming ​​

​

This was my final project at university. I focused on the simulation of gravity (and lack of) with different models, inspired by games such as 'Heavenly Bodies'. Having worked with Box2D in a previous module in my third year, I aimed to create a similar tool, pared down to fit within time constraints, with a focus on Newtonian Gravity theory being accurately simulated. The capabilities that were created in this project were:

•  ​Rigid bodies :

  • static

  • dynamic

  • kinematic 

• physics worlds​

• collisions:

  • circle-cicle

  • rectangle-rectangle 

  • circle-rectangle

• gravity implementation

• Google and black box testing

• SFML graphics​
