ODE Tank Tracks 2

[linuxrobotdude]

Could you post or have you posted the source code somewhere? I am trying to put together a real time strategy game for Unix based systems and I was looking around to try and figure out how to do track simulation with ODE.

@linuxrobotdude It's very possibly in ODE. The hard part is calculating the track path. I have the algo on one of my vids. I've not yet come up with a satisfactory solution though.

Thank's for your prompt reply !:)

i'm required to build a motorcycle ( a flying one , with wings ) the only problem i'm having is collision detection...

could u help ?

[Danny77uk]

what problems are you having?

[Julienbb]

when the motorcycle reaches a bump , i'm not able to detect it.

should i be working only on calculating coordinates ? or there is a collision function in OPENGL ?

thank's again !

[Danny77uk]

OpenGL is just for rendering so it can't do collisions. How have you made the 'bump'? Is it another geom?

[Julienbb]

i forgot to mention glut32 :)

and yes it's another geometry...

[Danny77uk]

Yes glut32 = OpenGL utility library for Windows.

It's worth asking on the ODE mailing list. I suspect you may have some code that ignores collisions within the same space and your 'bump' is in the same space as your bike.

[Julienbb]

yes u r right.

Thank's anyways, and thank's for your time .

[Danny77uk]

It's ok! I just don't think I can help you much without seeing your setup. But the mailing list guys are very helpful.

I learned ODE by looking at the examples.

[Julienbb]

Hi, did u implement this using openGL ?

Thank's

[Danny77uk]

yes
