For my final project in physics I made a flight simulator.
It uses a huge terrain model with a very large number of tris and a complex vehicle model.
In order to prevent the game from slowing down due to the huge number of collision checks, I implemented broad-phase detection. Subdividing the world into chunks and storing which tris exist in which chunk, so there are way less collision checks each frame.
Features of this project:
– AABB broad phase collision detection
– Point-Tri(Mesh) collision detection and response
– Simple Physics based movement (forces, acceleration)
– Simple Particle System (no collisions)
