Hi Guys I am starting on an MSC project comparing different AI players in a racing game. As I am focusing on the AI I do not want to have to spend ages getting the physics right. Can anyone recommend any off the shelf physics engines that I could use. If they were free it would be nice. Thanks. Giles

I applied for a mathengine karma license while at university and got it for free based on me not redistrbuting any programs uing it. Give em a try.

i belive it was www.mathengine.com

It took about a week to recieve my password to get to the download area so be patient.

Good luck

Try googling for ODE (possibly ode.sourceforge.net), an open source physics engine.

The Karma engine is now owned by Criterion, who recently purchased MathEngine. If the mathengine site is gone (which I doubt it would be), check out Criterion''s main site.

Cheers,

Hello again Timkin.

I did go to the mathengine site and ask if I could get an academic license. THe e-mail address was cm-labs, anyone know who they are?

Anyway, aparantly the academic license will cost me $1750 which I cannot afford. I am now trying havoc as their engine would be ideal, just hope I can get it cheap.

Am still looking for ODE but have not looked that hard yet, am just about to...


THanks for the help guys.

Thanks, I had actually just found it and have started to wade my way through the documentation.

Oxford dynamics have released the rigid body part of their physics library free. You might want to take a look at it.
