Verlet Physic Engine

How to use

Verlet Objects can be instantiated by using the static methods from the Verlet class

• Create a Scene Object

Scene scene = Verlet.createScene();

• Add Constraint Objects to your Scene

// (xPos, yPos, constraintRadius)
Constraint circleConstraint = new CircleAreaConstraint(0, 0, 200);
scene.addConstraint(circleConstraint);

• Add Sphere Objects to your Scene

// (xPos, yPos, sphereRadius)
Sphere sphere = Verlet.createSphere(-75, 25, 10);
scene.addSphere(sphere);

• Create a Solver in order to run the Simulation

Solver solver = Verlet.createSolver(scene);

• Instantiate a JPanel which will render your Scene

VerletPanel panel = new VerletPanel(scene);

// Assuming there is a JFrame present
frame.add(panel);

• Setup runtime

public void tick() {
  // Steps the entire simulation. Parameter decides how far it steps
  solver.step(0.02f);

  // Renders the new Scene onto the panel
  panel.repaint();
}
