Rigid Body and Cloth Physics

[zero-impact]

Yes it is, I have already tried. After monitoring the memory usage for 5 minutes I see that it climbs to about 2Gb before crashing Wine.
I think I will recode it in c++ using SDL and use it as an opprotunity to learn OOP in c++.

Thanks for the help.
You can consider that my final version.

In that case, look up the bresenham's line blitting algorithm and the flood fill algorithm. You will find that very useful.

Thanks, however I think I might just use the primitives in SDL_gfx for simplicity's sake for the time being. Thanks for the tip though

I like it a lot! I am a big fan of rigid cloth physics ;P

Buut... The cloth isn't interacting with the shapes... is it supposed to be like that?

nice work lawson, it crashed a school computer in <30 seconds :p

edit : you've sparked my interest in learning how to use verlet integration. Now if only these school computer's had a C++ compiler and SDL

edit edit : so now I'm coding in Wordpad, and secretly downloading a compiler to a flash drive :p
sdl can wait for now

Yes, I do not have any "inter-shape" collision detection at the moment. I don't think I'm going to either because I am recoding this in c++. I will post a link when I ahve made any progres. However with school that could mean a month from now.
