Physics Simulator

A Python-based physics simulator designed to simulate movement, collisions, and friction within a dynamic environment filled with customizable entities like polygons and balls. The project focuses on efficiency and precision through collision optimization techniques, making it suitable for educational purposes.

Features

• Collision optimization:

  • Utilizes bounding boxes for efficient collision detection.
  • Implements spatial grids to further optimize performance in complex simulations.

• Entity Support:

  • Simulate the behavior of both rigid bodies like polygons and dynamic objects like balls.

• Real-Time Simulation:

  • Watch entities interact in real-time with adjustable parameters.

Installation

To get started, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/leomanga/Armando

2. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To launch the simulator, simply run the following command:

python main.py

To add new entities to the simulation, use the Spawner class located in ./Models/. The Spawner class allows you to define and customize the properties of new entities (e.g., shape, size, initial velocity).

Future Enhancements

Here's a list of planned features and improvements:

• Add acceleration to the field
• Friction management
  • With air
  • With solids
  • Rolling friction
• Handle window size based on screen resolution
• Display velocity and acceleration vectors
