Particle Simulator

A Particle Simulator written in C++ and SFML, and Thread Pools. The simulator has been greatly inspired by this video.

Features

• Simulation using verlet integration method.
• Customizable radius, mass, coef of restitutiton, starting position, velocity, and acceleration of particles.
• Customizable display size, sub step count, and fps (physics behavior is dependent of fps).
• Space partitioning
• Multi-threading

The space partitioning and threading is still incomplete as it is still pretty inefficient and lags with a large number of particles.

Getting Started (Windows)

1. Clone the repository
2. Install g++
3. Download SFML-2.6.0 (GCC MinGW) from https://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.6.0/ and add it to the root directory
4. Compile and run main.exe with the following commands

   g++ -c main.cpp -ISFML-2.6.0/include -DSFML_STATIC
   g++ -o main main.o -LSFML-2.6.0/lib -lsfml-graphics-s -lsfml-window-s -lsfml-system-s -lopengl32 -lwinmm -lgdi32
   del main.o
   main.exe
