Vulkys

An easy-to-use but extensive physics engine meant to be accessible to those with little to no programming experience.

Requirements

1. Vulkan (tested v1.3.292)
2. The Rust programming language (stable)

Usage

1. Create objects in main.rs. Create a scene with said objects in a Vec<RigidBody> using Scene::with_objects and then use scene.run().
2. cargo r should run fine. Do not run on release.

Example mains in examples/.

Compatibility

• Linux:
  • Mint (Sway): Complete.
  • Ubuntu (WSL): Complete.
• Windows: image format runtime error.
• MacOS (MoltenVK): seldom runtime errors.

Commits

Although not uploaded to GitHub with the intention of maintenance or feature-requests, pull requests (PRs) and issues are welcome.

Goals

• Copy images into swapchain so the current, un-updated ones are not being recreated.
• Document more thoroughly.
• Allow choice of timestep and gravity. Normalize these values to be somewhat intuitive.
• Add new object types.

Performance

• Profile current program.
• Have collision resolution run on a compute shader.
• Add FPS counter for debugging and visuals.
• Copy images into swapchain so the current, un-updated ones are not being recreated.
• Add multi-threading.

QoL

• Anti-aliasing for objects.
• Use textures for background and ojects.
