Algorithmic And Architectural Gaming Design: Implementation And Development Practical Introduction To Rigid Body Lcp (linear Complementary Problem) Constraint Solvers

Transcript

The chapter introduces Linear Complementary Problem (LCP) Solvers as a method for writing a robust real-time physics simulator, and will explain principles and algorithms with practical examples and reasoning. When first investigating and writing a solver, a person can easily get overwhelmed by the number of different methods and lack of implementation details, so the chapter will demonstrate the various methods from a no-nonsense point of view rather than a theoretical one, using code snippets and real test cases to help understanding. Theme: Physics-based Simulations Difficulty: Medium/Hard Implementation: Theory and Implementation in C/C++
