Ok so I have been doing a bunch of flash games for a while now. And it has been fun doing them with some basic physics(euler). But there comes a time when you need to step out onto deep waters. So I decided I would try to learn how to make some sort of more advanced physics engine. So I could do awesome collisions and cool ragdolls! After some googeling I found the “verlet” method.
So yesterday and today I have tried to learn how to do that. To implement the motion to a point is as easy as it was with euler. But the collision detection stuff is a bit harder(or is it??).
With euler, If I have an object, like the player, and I want him to follow the ground, I would code something like this.
while(ground.hitTestPoint(object.x,object.y, true)){
grav = 0;
object.y --;
}
But how would I do something similar to this with verlet. And how would I tell the point to which direction it should bounce?
Feel free to link to recourses that explain the solution. But I will probably already have read them and not understood. :cry3:
