Er, glad we're on the same page. I guess O.o

What are you, 17 or 18? Just turned the former, though I've been dabbling in this field since 14. Honors Physics/AP Physics has been a gift from God (or the higher power of your choice) for me. I absolutely adore figuring out how things work, so physics quickly became my favorite field of study! I'...

Um. Sounds to me like you're going to want to be using Swept Spheres/Ellipsoids. Google it; I haven't taken Physics yet and probably couldn't lay out the concepts with the correct terms and whatnot. Its fairly simple (I think) so you should be okay with it. Edit: Aww ha. I knew I'd seen a nice tut ...

If he's entering that into a competition, that might be illegal to use outright. I recommend having a look at that stuff to learn the math and theory behind it, because you'll probably have to write your own code. edit: Do you have any sort of rotational system implemented? Are you calculating mome...

Oh, my goodness, no. I knew full well how to use bounding boxes, circles, and per-pixel already, but none of them are suitable for realistic real-time physics simulation. I'm looking for full-blown convex (and soon to be concave) collision interaction, for none of the other methods suited my purpose...

I should mention I'm not asking for hand-holding, but rather a point in the right direction. If I could get a *brief* description of how you handled this, and perhaps a link to a more detailed, recommended tutorial, that'd be sufficient for me. I'm also hoping to use this thread as a question board ...

Just read all these post, and NO OFFENSE but: ROFL. That's all, thank you very much. ^^^^^^^^^^^ If you're into C/C++ game programming, I'd recommend Sam's Teach Yourself C++ in 24 Hours as a C++ primer, and then Game Programming All-in-One, Third Edition to get you used to game code (and get you o...

I hear you guys have a physics engine that supports collision detection of polygons. I'm trying to make a (currently 2D, soon to be 3D) physics engine myself, and I have everything working except for the collision detection. I've searched for many a tutorial on teh intarwebs, but the tubes are clogg...
