I'm not sure how to do friction with the ground...

bouncing off walls and the ground would never be cooler looking.
Does this mean that it would be cool, or not be as cool as having friction with the ground? Anyway, you would be able to change the settings to whatever you think is coolest.

Jim e wrote a fast line drawer and he did some square root stuff, but I'm not sure what, exactly.

I meant that hitting a wall should reverse the direction of movement without losing an ounce of speed until you hit the ground... gravity should be week also so you bounce a few times.

Where would I find this fast line drawing routine?

Oh, I suppose I could have different settings for the walls and for the floor. I was just thinking of making all the boundaries the same. But it wouldn't be too hard to have different settings for each.

Friction is kind of interesting, because there are two kinds: sliding and stationary. When two objects slide passed each other, that kind of friction is simply a negative accelleration. When it is stopped, it has a different frictional coefficient that acts as a threshold before the object begins to slide. The best way to get them to look good is probably trial and error.

I probably won't implement static friction, since I can't think of an easy way to do it at the moment.

By the way, I've been working on a ragdoll physics prototype in Flash. Do you want to see it?

link us up </bad pun>

Kllrnohj just came up with a really fast circle drawing routine....almost instantaneous.

How'd you stop the guy from moving in N-Game? Or did he not slide to a halt?

That is why static friction is important. Wink

TiCalc.org is a little slow on the uptake lately....

It's not a video... you can drag her around.

I saw one with president Bush, it was little better though (screen scrolled with your mouse, only when you clicked on him).

Do you have a link with the one with Bush? Sounds funny!

kalan_vod, I don't see the difference.

That was a completely different physics model. In that one, there was a running mode, where the friction was higher than in falling mode. Also, there was no static friction. With ragdoll physics, there is no clear way to delineate running and falling, especially since you are modeling a collection of points, not just a single point.

The way interaction with the walls and ground works now is that if a node is outside the boundaries, I change its position to be right on the boundary. I also change the velocity to make it bounce.* To add friction, I could decrease the velocity on the other axis. This is simple for perfectly horizontal and vertical walls, but I can't think of an efficient way to implement friction for other angles (meaning collisions with enemy limbs).

*Actually there is no velocity variable in Verlet integration. Instead, I change the old position and calculate the velocity from that each frame. That makes friction even more complicated.

shhh :ninja:
