HavokPhysicsTutorials

This is the supporting repository for my Havok Physics Engine Tutorial Series available here: http://mmmovania.blogspot.com/2014/03/havok-physics-engine-tutorial-series.html. The source code is tested using VisualStudio 2012 on Windows 7 machine.

Covered Tutorials

Currently, the tutorials cover

• How to setup Visual Studio 2012 with the latest free Havok Physics SDK available from here: http://www.havok.com/try-havok
• Creating a simple box rigid body that falls down and collides with the ground plane
• Creating multiple rigid bodies that falls down and collides with the ground plane
• Picking rigid bodies using the mouse
• Creating simple distance constraints to limit movement of rigid bodies
• Creating Chain by linking rigid bodies with a pair of distance constraints
• Creating Cloth using distance constraints

Dependencies

The only dependency for this project is the freeglut library that can be obtained from http://freeglut.sourceforge.net/index.php#download. The latest version should work fine. The current versin 2.8.1 was used for these tutorials. OpenGL 2.0 version was used enabling a wider audience to compile and run these tutorials

Setting up Visual Studio 2012

Refer to the first tutorial available here: http://mmmovania.blogspot.com/2014/03/havok-physics-engine-tutorial-series.html.
