Detailed Description

An abstact base class for all grid based numerical ODE solvers for Newton's laws.

Member Function Documentation

GLfloat TimeIntegrator::GetStepSize

(

)

Returns the current step size for the integrator

void TimeIntegrator::StepForward	(	const NetForceAccumulator &	net_force_accumulator,
		const std::vector< std::shared_ptr< PhysicsEntity >> &	entity_ptrs,
		const std::shared_ptr< PhysicsEntity >	entity_ptr
	)

Public interface for all solvers. Computes position and velocity updates by solving Newton's equations of motion. Updates entity_ptr buffers with next predicted position and velocity

Parameters

net_force_accumulator	accumulates the net force acting on entity_ptr
entity_ptrs	list of all the PhysicsEntities in the scene
entity_ptr	pointer to the entity being updated
