nifty realtime physics demo

. - .... .- -. .... · 15th September 2002, 19:08

Found this on d'internet earlier today, simple little thing, but a pretty good stress-buster, not to mention an impressive bit of programming.

Soooo, thought I'd let ya all have a look

There was this absolutely fantastic orbit simulation in Encarta 99... if only I could figure out how to get it to run standalone

jyvasaa · 15th September 2002, 19:18

awesome ethan! that was 1336!

dylman · 15th September 2002, 19:41

Thanks ethan, that is nice.

Sweet Billiards!!!!

CremoNe · 15th September 2002, 19:56

really really sweet.
what i find amazing is that it's only a few kb big, while things like Nastran or other FEM are several cds big.

psychoticguyver · 15th September 2002, 20:02

DUDE ethan that kicks ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spiffed · 15th September 2002, 21:03

That was an amazing little applet!

I believe it was even in an earlier version as well. THe maze game was classic though.

Whoa!! That's some awesome math!

Wish I was that good in math. :/ Mind you, I'm going into year 11 (functions and relations) next semester and physics next year, so that is also why I dont know that.

You're right. I remember using it on Windows 95, so I probably got the version number wrong. I'd check the CD, but I don't know where it is now.

Mizter_E · 16th September 2002, 00:12

What is that supposed to be?

squell · 16th September 2002, 00:56

that was great ethan, thanks for sharing!

it was even better when i discovered it had so many scenes! the dominoes one ws rad!

insomniac · 16th September 2002, 01:17

That was amazing!

Only problem is that the FPS went really low when I moved my mouse over the window.

Curi0us_George · 16th September 2002, 01:22

Where did you find it, Ethan? I browsed the guy's site, but I couldn't find anything linking to the file.

GLewellen · 16th September 2002, 01:30

damn thats sexy. Doesn't seem accurate to the proper constants. None the less, very sexy.

i wrote a freeform orbit engine once, as part of a computing project. used the highest level physics and maths i knew at the time - i'll see if i can find it, but it's pre-this computer...

that tech demo was neta, i had one once a few years back that i still find more impressive though - you picked up a virtual rug (on a reflective floor) and it would float back down realistically - you could grab bits, fold it, anything. it was neat.

as for current stuff, try downloading the new UT2003 demo, and shoot someone down a flight of stairs. now that's the beauty of physics

If it's nifty, Twilightseer will love it.

/me downloads the thing

SNYder · 16th September 2002, 17:35

heh... look what I did to the dudez water demo

you can even see the rocks with no water between it and the camera.

guess he didnt design the water to spill out of the box.

that guy makes some awsome interactive demos

Yeah. The water only has a surface. It's like, all 2-D and stuff.

His stuff is cool.

<bomb>KABOOOOOOOM!</bomb>

I put anti-aliasing 4x on so it looks uber sexy on my pc

squell · 16th September 2002, 18:12

could you share this program/application with us snyder?

[edit]nevermind :P, i didn't see the post[/edit]

these other demoes are absolutely fantastic. i love it.

hmm, i get errors for all of the other demoes except the stained glass and lighting water one. oh well.
