Bullet Tutorial - Cars

[Donner]

Hey,

I am currently developing an Racing game and i have to decide, what physics engine to use. Currently i'm workung with newton, but i want to switch (for different reasons). Are there any tutorialy, how to simulate cars etc. with the bullet physics engine?

Google didn't help very much...


Thank you!

the sdk comes with a sample but if that's not enough you can check out Super Tux Kart - http://www.bulletphysics.com/Bullet/php ... =17&t=1774

Its powered by Bullet and its open source.

hi?Donner

I am currently developing an Racing game too.

I think you can refer to the bullet demo ------ appVehicaldemo

in fact,I met some problem when I use the bullet's vehical.

as you said,the google didn't help very much,but you can find someting in the bulelt forum.

and read the bulelt manual cautiously .

hope that will be help

Hey,

thank you for your answers. Well, I think thanks to the examples, i'll be able to learn more about bullet.

Now I have two more questions:
1. Would you (honestly) recommend Bullet for a racing game, or might another engine be better?
2. Would you take (or create) a "wrapper" which combines Irrlicht and Bullet, or is it easy enough to integrate Bullet in Irrlicht directly? What do you think?

Thank you very much
