verlet integration

Post by kliktock »

Hi everyone
Ive tried to do verlet physics for the last month or so but I just cant get my head around it. I understand whats happening but I just dont know how to code it. Ive read and reread Jakobsen's paper quite a few times, but I cant seem to follow it since its in C++ (Which I dont know) . I was hoping if someone could list step by step the things I need to do (Not in real code or anything, just normal english or psuedo). eg
create particle, with pos,vel,mass
start loop
move particle
etc..

Sorry if this sounds like a lot, but Ive really tried and Im not just asking without trying for myself. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
