Cyclone Physics

Cyclone Physics is a three-dimensional rigid body physics engine designed for game development. It provides a framework for simulating the motion, rotation, and physical interactions of solid objects by applying fundamental laws of mechanics.

The library utilizes discrete time integration to update object positions and velocities across fixed intervals. It manages complex scenes through a bounding volume hierarchy and employs impulse-based collision resolution to maintain momentum during contact. To handle simultaneous interactions, the engine uses an iterative velocity solver that repeatedly adjusts object states until the system reaches stability.

The system includes tools for identifying contact points and surface normals between intersecting geometries. These capabilities allow for the calculation of corrective impulses that prevent object interpenetration and simulate material behavior within an interactive environment.
