ODE - Open Dynamics Engine

I'm curious if it has something to do with automatic C header translation

**Petr Schreiber** · 26-04-2007, 18:51

Yes,

script now does the dirty work for me and I am just correcting details - ideal

Bye,

Puff,

first complete translation of ODE is out in sticky topic.
I did not tested all the functions ( header has 150 kB ;D ), I made some changes so no need to pass VARPTR(), just pass the variable directly.

It is stilll strongly experimental, please report me any troubles.

Bye,
Petr

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks for this Petr, i don't have time to look now, but definitly will in coming days. My mind is having a problem absorbing the great addition this will have to working on stuff and making it that much cooler. This is a major addition and undertaking you did again, thanks.

Low res but can give an idea of dynamic objects: 2048 balls.

Amazing video Eros, that is so impressive that many balls have physics going and it is that fast.

Nice video,

thanks

Please notice on cards with no T&L ( cards ~older than 2000, Intels ) the framerate will get down in such a cases because of lot of geometry drawn and not because of complexity of calculation

.

That is pretty incredible info Petr and shows how far we have come with computers. For it to run on computers up to 7 years old at decent speed is really neat. I think most people who are into computers have computers within that age all the time, so speed should not be a concern.

I have my Dad's old 486, I need to configure one of these days to use again. It will be interesting to see how our programs work. It does run my old truespace pretty well from what I remember, so that will be a good test for running on old comptuers, at a whopping 100 mhz.
