Chipmunk Physics
« on: July 26, 2012, 03:59:10 pm »
Hi all.

3.2 integrates the Chipmunk physics engine with Lua bindings. This allows us create fun games with the physics.
However there is just one problem. It's pretty complex.
So here is some useful info if you want to start programming.

1. The API documentation for 3.2
Download it at http://education.ti.com/nspire/scripting-api .
It's a must have in order to find all the API function names (duh :P )

2. The online chipmunk docs
http://chipmunk-physics.net/release/Chipmunk-5.x/Chipmunk-5.3.4-Docs/
Even though it describes the C API, it shows how the concepts of the engine and how it's structured.
And most Lua functions have similar names to the C ones.
You will find yourself checking this resource often when you start programming with the engine ;)

3. A tutorial (although for the C API)
http://www.alexandre-gomes.com/articles/chipmunk/
This tutorial helps you understand the concepts and inner workings of the physics engine.

4. Example code (by me)
Spoiler For Basic start:


platform.apilevel = '2.0'
require 'physics'


LARGE=physics.misc.INFINITY()
ZERO =physics.Vect(0,0)

   self.objects   = {}
end

function pSpace:step(n)
   self.space:step(n)
end

function pSpace:addObj(obj, x, y)
   obj.body:setPos(physics.Vect(x, y))
   self.space:addBody(obj.body)

I spend some time making this code, so please take care of it  ;)

5. Take a look at other exisiting activities for the TI-Nspire that use the physics engine

And last but not least ...
Have fun !

Wow, that's fantastic! I still find it amazing that Chipmunk can even run on a calculator, so this is all very cool stuff :D I'm more familiar with Box2D myself, but I've heard that Chipmunk is better at handling large numbers of objects, so it should be interesting to see what people can come up with.

Yeah, it's indeed a very nice addition :)

However, don't expect super complex and graphically advanced games to be possible :P
It's still a calculator, and the Lua bindings are of course a bit slower than the C one. (This is why Ndless 3.2 will be awesome :D).
But a (good functioning) Angry Birds clone should be possible.

Thanks for gathering these resources!  :)


space = pSpace(9.8)

got turned into

space = pSpace(9.8)

in your code.

I'm not sure if I'm going to give this a try in my programs, but it is interesting.

space = pSpace(9.8)

got turned into

space = pSpace(9.8)

in your code.


Yeah, I saw that.  8)

So, I looked into the documentation, and could not find any sign of liquidsimulation. Is this present in the physics lib or not?
It's sad to see that noone has made a game with it yet, someone should try this out :)

It is so laggy that you could not make any complex nor simple game with it.
Adriweb, Jim and me tried the basic samples of Chipmunk demo. None of them can run smoothly on the handheld. It seems TI Enginners are only taking care of the PC version witch is a shame.
Sad to say but better recode it your own physic engine...

I do not get mad at people, I just want them to learn the way I learnt.

hmm, thanks for that fast reply :)

well, that's sad indeed.. Isn't there any speed improvement with the non-physics Lua on the handheld? (I haven't upgraded, and I won't)
That might be an idea, I guess a Lua physics engine would run smoother then, but that's a massive amount of work, especially the colission detection, how do you even do that with polygons?

@Nick My eat nethams game seems to run somewhat faster on 3.2 than it did on 3.1. The lobsters definitely fall smoother when setting it to the 100% spawn rate. It's not much of an improvement, but to me it seems to be something like 5-10%. It also could be I'm just imagining it, sadly I do not own 2 CXes so I can't test :p

A video of the chipmunk engine? Well, if you have the student software a handheld, you could try the code Jim posted above (they're really nice tbh)

That's what I hoped, that it would be faster, but still :o pff, I guess we could never expect it to be superlightningthunderboltfast, but at least a little afster than now xs but yeah, any improvement is nice..

Thank you jim's !
It's so hard to start using physics, your example code really helped me :)

Hi jims :)



I'm back with my falldown but I have 2 problems :
- The ball don't falls in the hole --'
- It slows down so much : why ?

Code: [Select]
------------------------------------------------
----------- LUA FALLDOWN, BY ANTOX98 -----------

platform.apilevel = "2.0"

require "physics"
