where can i download "Newton Physics engine" ???
thanks

Its actually Newton Game Dynamics...

Super duper - thanks

What is "Newton Physics engine"?

What can be achieved with it?

Well, it's a physics engine with the same principles as the 3dgs physics engine, but its free, works with multiple versions of 3dgs, and does not have any limitation to the number of physics objects.

What can you do with it? Many, many things - once you start thinking about how real world objects interact. For an example, they now have a simulation on the Newton page of a pool (billiards) game. No code was needed to describe to the billiard balls how they react if struck from certain directions with a certain force, etc... The balls were setup with a mass and other physical properties that describe them. The billiard balls are physic objects that know how to react when a force (another ball striking them) is applied. The physics engine does all the work of calculating what direction the ball moves, how it rolls, how far it is propelled, etc. I think it makes it much easier for the developer - hence the reason everyone wants to use a physics engine.

Thanks vrkaya!

nice description!

Newton rules...

can anybody tell me how to implement the physics in my game??
And if so can thay also be used for enemy's?
like say :

if (enemy == dead)
{
physics_script()
}

or something like that, and then when he is on top of a building, he falls down.
Like havoc engine in Max payne 2.

That would be really cool

regards,

whoops sorry,
I allready found out where how to implement them
But as far as the question about the "havoc" thing goes, is it possible you think??
