Real-Time Physics Simulation Forum

I think the problem is that most people on this forum are knowledgeable mainly about mechanical simulation, with perhaps some fluid simulation thrown in. On the other hand, I'm sure some of us have some memory of magnetism physics from school. You would probably also need to simulate electrical flow...

I use a union-find, an "on-line" version. By the time all my pairwise collisions are done, the islands are ready to iterate over without any more work. I found this page to be very good for understanding the concept: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjoint-set_data_structure As the example i...
