How can I integrate a physics engine in C++?

Integrating a physics engine in C++ typically involves linking the engine's library to your project and initializing it in your code. Do you have a specific physics engine in mind?

I'm considering using Bullet Physics. What are the steps?

To use Bullet Physics, first download the library and include its headers in your project. Then, set up the physics world, create rigid bodies, and define collision shapes. Would you like a code example?

Yes, a code example would be great!

Here's a simple example:

#include <btBulletDynamicsCommon.h>

int main() {
    // Initialize Bullet Physics
    btDefaultCollisionConfiguration* collisionConfig = new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration();
    btCollisionDispatcher* dispatcher = new btCollisionDispatcher(collisionConfig);
    btBroadphaseInterface* broadphase = new btDbvtBroadphase();
    btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver* solver = new btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver();
    btDiscreteDynamicsWorld* dynamicsWorld = new btDiscreteDynamicsWorld(dispatcher, broadphase, solver, collisionConfig);
    // Add more setup code here...
}

This initializes the physics world. Let me know if you need more details!

Thanks! How do I handle collisions?

To handle collisions in Bullet Physics, you can set up a collision callback function. You can use the setContactCallback method to define what happens when two objects collide. Would you like more information on that?
