Torque and Physics

#1 It has basic physics and a rigid body resource. There are resources for adding in ODE that you can use for PhysX or Tokamak or Newton as well. Networking will take a major hit unless you do some masterful tweaking.

#2 Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. I use tokamak right now... but it's not x-platform, is ODE x-platform?

What do you mean this? Is it that the networking pack of TGE is limited? Or is it limited with physics integration?

Thanks

#3 Networking is one of Torque's strong points. Unfortunately when dealing with physics, you will have to figure out an optimized way to deterministically send accurate data to all of your clients to provide "correct enough" physics feedback regardless of what system you use. The amount of data generated in a "true" physics simulation can kill netcode performance with packet spam when ghosting.

Newton and ODE are cross-platform.

#4 Just to clear something up, the above things about physics and networking aren't talking about the standard Torque physics(collision, rigid body, vehicle, etc...), but if you implement other physics into Torque(ODE, PhysX, Tokamak, etc...). I think.

#5 Exactly. Sorry if there was any confusion.
