physics for a hovercraft

[dipi]

It's my first project with irrlicht. I started with Irrlicht few years ago but I never get further then adjusting a demo. This year I had to make a program for school (DNI-calculator) -> I needed to learn C++ properly.

It's based on real physics but I simplified it a bit. It only works in 2 dimensions, so you cannot go up or something like that.

example code:

Code: Select all

#include <dipiX.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "dipiX.lib")

//declare all things of irrlicht
// to declare a object || (float) not needed but it gives a warning without
dipiX::thrusters car1((float)10, (float)0.05, (float)1.0, (float)10, device,node);

// to do an action
car1.forward(3);
car1.back(3);
car1.left(3);
car1.right(3);
car1.handbrake(); // to stop completely when driving very slowly

//in famous while loop

car1.update();

everything is free to use (if someone can "paint" my plane, I would like the texture )

good job

Instead of casting to float, just put f after the numbers, and use decimals also for numbers like 10.
