Crate mgf

Expand description

A low-level 3D collision and physics library intended for use in 3D video game development.

§Collision detection overview

An object implements collision detection routines through the various traits provided by MGF. Each trait provides a disparate form of collision detection:

Overlaps: Specifies a collision where the only information required is whether or not two objects overlap.
Contains: Specifies a collision where one object completely contains another. For bounding volumes.
Intersection: For linear geometries, describes a collision at some time during the motion of a particle (represented with a Ray or Segment) with only one point of contact.
Contacts: For moving volumetric geometries, describes a collision with possibly multiple contacts occuring at some time during the motion of the geometries.
LocalContacts: Similar to Contacts, but returns contacts with local contact points as well as globals.

In addition to these traits, MGF supports broad-phase colision detection through a bounding volume hierarch (BVH)

§Physics Overview

Physics is implemented through the following objects:

RigidBodyVec, a vector of rigid bodies.
Solver, a generic constraint-based solver.
ContactConstraint, a constraint modeling the collision of two objects.

After contact points are accumulated, they are pruned via a ContactPruner and put through a constraint solver.

sphere.set_pos(Point3::new(-5.0, 0.0, 0.0));
let body_a = rigid_bodies.add_body(sphere, MASS, RESTITUTION, FRICTION, gravity);

sphere.set_pos(Point3::new(5.0, 0.0, 0.0));
let body_b = rigid_bodies.add_body(sphere, MASS, RESTITUTION, FRICTION, gravity);

// Set the velocity for the objects.
rigid_bodies.set(body_a, Velocity{ linear: Vector3::new(0.0,  4.0, 0.0), angular: Vector3::zero() });
rigid_bodies.set(body_b, Velocity{ linear: Vector3::new(0.0, -4.0, 0.0), angular: Vector3::zero() });

// Integrate the objects, creating colliders for each.
rigid_bodies.integrate(TIMESTEP);

// Collide the objects:
let mut pruner: ContactPruner = ContactPruner::new();
let body_ai: usize = body_a.into();
let body_bi: usize = body_b.into();
rigid_bodies.collider[body_ai].local_contacts(
    &rigid_bodies.collider[body_bi],
    | lc | {
        pruner.push(lc);
    }
);

// Create the constraint solver:
let mut solver = Solver::<ContactConstraint<_>>::new();

// Create a manifold to pass to the contact solver as a constraint:

// Obviously two spheres will only produce one contact. To avoid using a
// pruner in this case a Manifold may be constructed from a single LocalContact:
// let manifold = Manifold::from(local_contact);

let manifold = Manifold::from(pruner);
solver.add_constraint(
    ContactConstraint::new(
        &rigid_bodies,
        body_a, body_b,
        manifold,
        TIMESTEP
    )
);

// Solve the collision:
solver.solve(&mut rigid_bodies, SOLVER_ITERS);
