PhysicsKing

Basic physics classes representing real world motion. High degree of inline code for readability and compiled only if used. Intended as the foundation for "made from scratch" game engines. Intrinsic SIMD acceleration from project:

Math: https://github.com/ChrisKing340/MathSIMD

C++ classes support json for data transport. For the latest version of json visit: json: https://github.com/nlohmann/json

stream output:

Scalar:

Mass m; m = 10._kg; Accel a0; a0 = 4._mPerSecSq; auto F = m * a0;

cout << "F = " << m << " * " << a0 << "\n";

F = { Mass 10 kg } * { Accel 4 m/s^2 }

cout << "F = " << F << "\n";

F = { Strength 40 N }

Vector:

Acceleration a; auto direction = float3(0.f, 1.f, 0.f); a.Set_magnitude(a0); a.Set_unit_direction(direction); auto F = m * a; cout << "F = " << F << "\n";

F = {{ Strength 40 N } * Dir:{ x: 0 y: 1 z: 0 } }

cout << "F = " << F.GetVector() << "\n";

F = { x: 0 y: 40 z: 0 }

Compiled with Visual Studio 2019, C++17, 64 Bit Windows 10

This code is the foundation of a fully functional DirectX 12 game engine and physics simulator.

Physics foundation

Foundation classes represent a unit of measure with a scalar. The classes just keeps one value with internal storage as a SI unit of measure. String literals implemented to allow definition with the unit of measure desired. Operator overloading to act as a base type and also supports streams and json from/to; Ex: Length(10_m) Length(10_ft)

#include "Physics\UnitOfMeasure.h"
namespace UnitOfMeasure;
class Mass; // scalar
class Length; // scalar
class Area; // scalar
class Volume; // scalar
class Energy; // scalar
class Power; // scalar
class Strength; // scalar part of a Force vector
class Accel; // scalar part of an Acceleration vector
class Speed; // scalar part of a Velocity vector
class Temperature; // scalar
class Time; // scalar
const Accel gravity;
const Speed speedOfSoundInAir;

Physics simulation

Modeling of force, acceleration, and velocity of dynamic bodies.

#include "Physics.h"

// Linear
class Force ; // keeps a UnitOfMeasure::Strength scalar and a unit direction vector; Implements Newton's 1st Law
class Acceleration ; // keeps a UnitOfMeasure::Accel scalar and a unit direction vector; Implements Newton's 2nd Law
class Velocity ; // keeps a UnitOfMeasure::Speed scalar and a unit direction vector; operator for Velocity = Acceleration * Time
class Distance ; // keeps a UnitOfMeasure::Length scalar and a unit direction vector (essentially a distance to); operator for Distance = Velocity * Time
class Position ; // keeps 3 floats for x,y,z and operators for arithmetic with Distance
class Momentum ; // keeps a UnitOfMeasure::LinearMotion scalar and a unit direction vector. Implements Newton's 3rd Law
// Angular
class Torque ; // keeps a UnitOfMeasure::AngularStrength scalar and a unit direction vector representing the axis of force is acting about
class AngularAcceleration ; // keeps a UnitOfMeasure::AngularAccel scalar and a unit direction vector representing the normalized axis angles, 𝛼, in pitch, yaw, roll 𝛼(𝒾, 𝒿, 𝓀)
class AngularVelocity ; // keeps a UnitOfMeasure::AngularSpeed scalar and a unit direction vector representing the normalized axis angles, 𝛼, in pitch, yaw, roll 𝛼(𝒾, 𝒿, 𝓀)
class Rotation ; // keeps a UnitOfMeasure::Angle scalar and a unit direction vector representing the normalized axis angles, 𝛼, in pitch, yaw, roll 𝛼(𝒾, 𝒿, 𝓀). Also keeps a Quaternion. Advantage is that rotation can be > 2 PI and the quaternion will be calculated correctly (domain of a quaternion is -2 PI to +2 PI) and also the unit rotation vector is the axis of rotation in x,y,z
