Dynamics simulations is a project that shows how a rigid body dynamics library can be used in order to create a driving simulation. This simulation uses Rust and the Rust based game-dev engine Bevy in order to create a driving simulation. This simulation also allows for use of either keyboard or controller inputs.
- Controller support for xbox controllers added. Check start guide for controller mappings
- UI re-added after changing to Bevy v0.10
- Added driving capabilities of the simulation
- driven wheel system
- gear shifting
- steering
- acceleration via input
- Car Model added to assets
- scheduler to untie the physics from the visuals
Predeveloped driving simulation to allow users to see what is possible with the rigid body dynamics algorithms library in combination with the game engine Bevy. This simple simulation allows a "realistic" driving experience with how the suspension and movmenet physics are applied.
In order to be able to run our simulation the following is needed:
Rust can be installed by following the instructions in their github repo: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust
Clone this repo to where ever you want. Choose someplace that is easy to access.
Inside driving_sim/cargo.toml there are a few dependencies that need to be compiled in order for the project to work such as the Bevy game engine. To compile these dependences, navagate to driving_sim and run the following:
cargo run --release
After a few minutes Rust will have compiled and connected to all the needed dependencies in order to run the project and a window will appear with the simulation running.
In order to run the project just run:
cargo run --release
If code is added this may take a few seconds to recompile and run but will create a new window containing the simulation.
- A & D - steering
- W - acceleration (gas pedal)
- Q - upshift
- E - downshift
- T - neutral
- R - reverse
- Left shift - soft braking
- Space - hard breaking
- Left Trigger - Increase Gear
- Right Trigger - Decrease Gear
- Right Trigger 2 - Neutral
- South Button (A) - acceleration
- East Button (B) - Reverse
- North Button (Y) - Hard Break
- West Button (X) - Break Slow
- Left Stick - Turn left right
NOTE: Gamepad has only been tested with an Xbox style of controller. Results may vary if used with Playstation or Nintendo styled controllers
In order to get documentation run the following from car_demo folder:
cargo docs --no-deps --open
This will create and open the documentation for our program in a website based format. These files are stored locally and can be found in car_demo\target\doc
Our repository contains all of our work on this project and is taken from a larger group repository which we share with a few other groups. In order to get access to this repository please contact the email in the contributing section.
