I'm not using any engine, but instead trying to build my own softbody dynamics for fun using verlet integeration. I made a cube defined by 4x4 points with segments keeping its shape like so: I h...

There is a commonly used verlet-integration formula on the web by Johnathan Dummer, called Time-Corrected Verlet. However I've read several forum posts, that people get weird or unexpected results ...

i use a Time Corrected Verlet Integration found here: http://www.gamedev.net/page/resources/_/technical/math-and-physics/a-simple-time-corrected-verlet-integration-method-r2200 But when my ball is...

I am new to Haskell, and as an exercise I've been trying to implement some of the code (written in Mathematica) from Joel Franklin's book Computational Methods in Physics. I've written the followin...

I'm just testing several integration schemes for orbital dynamics in game. I took RK4 with constant and adaptive step here http://www.physics.buffalo.edu/phy410-505/2011/topic2/app1/index.html an...

I have been playing around with writing my own physics engine in Python as an exercise in physics and programming. I started out by following the tutorial located here. That went well, but then I f...

Can someone explain to me why Verlet integration is better than Euler integration? And why RK4 is better than Verlet? I don't understand why it is a better method.
