Re: [Flashcoders] Pile of Objects Physics
Tom, Robert, Thanks for this. I've seen Fisix but was put off by the rather nebulous we can negotiate licensing terms for commercial projects. Glad to hear you've used flade successfully. The version number (0.2 alpha) and lack of documentation were a concern but I'll have another look. For those interested the other avenues I found were this guy (http://lab.polygonal.de/category/physics/) who has a great engine in development for a year or so but doesn't look like he's distributing it and Erin Catto (http://www.gphysics.com/) who has a freeware engine but its in C++ and would need translating. Many thanks for all your advice Joe Just a quick note: Flade is AS2 and is no longer in development. APE is AS3 by the creator of Flade (Alex Cove). Fisix is AS3 by another group.

Re: [Flashcoders] Pile of Objects Physics
Cheers for the site: http://lab.polygonal.de/ It has some great topics. I'm sure I'll refer to this site over and over again. Ciao, Rob. Joe Cutting wrote: Tom, Robert, Thanks for this.

[Flashcoders] Pile of Objects Physics
Hello, I'm looking at simulating the physics of a pile of irregular objects in Flash. The idea is that you drop irregular object on the pile and it decides where to stop, if you remove an object then it decides whether the ones above it fall etc. Has anyone seen any good tutorials, books or code to do this. I'm aware of the APE project (http://www.cove.org/ape/) but it looks a bit over specced and not very finished. Some one of this list also mentioned the O reilly game physics book (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/physicsgame/) but hadn't trried it out. I'd be grateful for any pointers to get me started on this.

From my research I have found two AS3 based physics engines, which one was already mentioned by you (APE). The other is the Fisix Engine. From my tests it is better structured and more complete. Check out: http://www.fisixengine.com/engine.asp It is free to use on non-commercial projects but the license for commercial projects is a bit steep. Because of that I may end up using APE cause of its LGPL and release what ever I add to it. Haven't decided yet. Hope this helps, Rob.
