example_spinningTop.mp4
This is the second project created during "Physical simulations in a virtual environment" course, specialty CAD/CAM systems design of degree in Computer Science and Information Systems at Warsaw University of Technology.
The project is a simulation of a spinning top using Euler's equations describing rigid body dynamics. The simulation parameters are easily changeable via a convenient to use user interface. Additionally, various simulation presets were added to observe different behaviors of the spinning top. Colors of all rendered elements are changeable. For trajectory's line, there are two draw modes available: points and lines. The first one is good for observation of different integration step values.
The project is written in C++ (OpenGL) using CMake as a build system. It has two configuration CMake options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
PR2_EMBEDDED_SHADERS |
If ON shader code will be embedded into a resulting app's binary. If OFF shader code will be read from shaders directory, so a binary has to be run from repository root directory. |
PR2_SHOW_DEBUG_CONSOLE |
If ON - beside app's window - a debug console will be shown on app start up. If OFF only app's window will be shown. |
All subsequent commands should be called from Windows Power Shell.
git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/Tolisz/Simulation_PR2.git
cd Simulation_PR2
cmake -S . -B build -DPR2_EMBEDDED_SHADERS=ON -DPR2_SHOW_DEBUG_CONSOLE=OFF
cmake --build build --config Release
.\build\Release\SimulationPr2.exe
All subsequent commands should be called from terminal. Compilation was checked using g++ (version 11.4.0) and clang++ (version 14.0.0) compilers.
$ git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/Tolisz/Simulation_PR2.git
$ cd Simulation_PR2
$ cmake -S . -B build -DPR2_EMBEDDED_SHADERS=ON -DPR2_SHOW_DEBUG_CONSOLE=OFF
$ cmake --build build --config Release -j 26
./build/SimulationPr2
