Physics for irrlicht 1.8 ?

[JuggernautIRR]

Hello,

I am unable to find any physics wrapper that work with the recent version of irrlicht 1.8. Can anybody please direct me to PHYSX wrapper or BULLET wrapper
that work with iRRlicht version 1.8 ?

Thanks,

Just recompile them, there are not so many API changes IMHO.

I'd recommend just using Bullet without a wrapper. All you have to do is setup your includes, lib, and dependencies which can be tricky. But once that works, creating a physics world for your Irrlicht device is simple:

Code: Select all

#include <irrlicht.h>
#include <btBulletCollisionCommon.h>
#include <btBulletDynamicsCommon.h>
 
int main()
{
    IrrlichtDevice *device =
        createDevice( video::EDT_OPENGL, dimension2d<u32>(640, 480), 16, false, false, false, 0);
 
    // BULLET PHYSICS
    btDefaultCollisionConfiguration* collisionConfiguration = new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration ();
    btBroadphaseInterface* broadPhase = new btAxisSweep3 (btVector3 (-1024, -1024, -1024), btVector3 (1024, 1024, 1024));
    btCollisionDispatcher* dispatcher = new btCollisionDispatcher (collisionConfiguration);
    btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver* solver = new btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver ();
    btDiscreteDynamicsWorld* world = new btDiscreteDynamicsWorld (dispatcher, broadPhase, solver, collisionConfiguration);
 
    while(device->run())
    {
        driver->beginScene(true, true, SColor(255,100,101,140));
        // do work...
        driver->endScene();
    }
    device->drop();
    return 0;
}

I agree. Though then you would be writing your own wrapper, but at least you'd have full control of it.
