#joltphysics — Public Fediverse posts

Found the reason for this physics explosion! It's caused by "continuous collision detection", when two bodies are kept close to one another by a joint, and both are moving together at high speed. I suppose at some point it detects collisions that should not exist and it conflicts with the joint constraints.

I can't disable collision between bodies on both side of the joint since it's important they can collide (depending on what the player builds).

More tests with hinges.

I'm not sure this structure would be allowed in a children playground 😅 Watch your fingers...

I forked one of my games and integrated @jrouwe's JoltPhysics into it. Wonder what this will lead to?

Attempt #3
Jolts HingeJoint3D is a bit different from the base HingeJoint3D and under documented at this point.

Still playing with settings but the device is at 10kg and the hinge properties are attached.

Having fun with the new custom gravity feature for vehicles! #JoltPhysics

Jolt Physics got support for contact listeners for soft bodies. This allows you to change mass on the fly or to turn a body into a sensor so that it reports collision but there will be no collision response. #JoltPhysics

If you're looking for an open-source (MIT licence) physics engine I would highly recommend #JoltPhysics! It's easy to integrate to your own engine and it will even use your scheduler 😍

Been working on my own game engine again more recently and decided to make a blog post detailing the work I've done so far (hot-reloadable C++ and shader code, testbed project gluing various existing libraries together with a nice API via an ECS) and near future goals (parallel dual update loop to improve input latency whilst maintaining deterministic fixed update logic, multi-threading focus). Hope others find it interesting!

It took many hours of tinkering, but the physics-based flipper is taking shape. I had to switch from Godot's builtin physics to #JoltPhysics which I hoped I wouldn't need to do but things were too wonky to figure out

Things still need tuning, but I like that I'll be getting the ability to simulate more tired flippers for free.
