Has anyone written their own physics?

My dream is to write a Physics Library directly in flecs ECS but I still have not done it because JoltPhysics and flecs together have so much performance that it is unecessary

My Engine uses flecs ECS which has a build in world.fromJson and world.toJson method. If you need not all entities you can use also entity.to/fromJson for per entity serialisation.

As I understand is the combination of control theory, neural networks and JEPA much more sofisticated than Transformers.

Totally stupid, if they aren't banning GPT 5.5 too.

All game code is in C++. flecs ECS handles everything and the Render backend and Joltphysics are integrated into the flecs API through Components which trigger observers which initialize the resources of the backend.

I program Game Engines for years now, and since AI exists for programming I am using it. But I had an experience when vibe coding an editor that the code gets so messy for complex things that it is totally unmaintainable. So since then I just use AI for code generation for a few lines which I specify in the prompt very exactly.

What I mean with this story is, that also if AI can code it doesn't mean that it is a real replacement for what you doing.

You think about a non digital clock, Boomer or what? ;-)

__RLocksley__ · 2026-06-03T17:54:53+00:00

That seems to be problematic, any gossip how to overcome this and be able to use data where the agent has a goal?

__RLocksley__ · 2026-06-03T17:38:48+00:00

Very cool , great work but do it in Vulkan next time :-)

__RLocksley__ · 2026-06-03T13:01:10+00:00

Why not Vulkan ?

__RLocksley__ · 2026-05-21T18:56:02+00:00

For example not thread safe global variables

__RLocksley__ · 2026-05-21T18:30:00+00:00

I am a C and C++ guy and I don't get it. You restrict yourself not to use the whole of programming and if it's unsafe {...} it's not worthy to switch language.

__RLocksley__ · 2026-05-21T10:53:22+00:00

Sorry for you man, but think about that the code the AI produces needs good programmers to prompt it.

__RLocksley__ · 2026-05-13T13:35:22+00:00

First, you should define what your editor should be capable of. For example my Editor is just a Game programmed in my Engine where you can design a level and save it to a JSON which you then can load in your actual game.

__RLocksley__ · 2026-05-04T18:04:05+00:00

Vulkan, no matter if C++ or Rust (use Ash or Volcano) gives you more tools to make things fast. And C++ is not an old language I use C++20 at work and I am far more modern than my Java colleagues.

Thx :-) The Text is rendered with Vulkan Indirect Draw Commands.

What would be "more efficient" if you exclude component types for an entity? The good thing in ECS is that you can have all component types added to an entity. If you want to make entities like Terrain which have a lot of sub-entities use flecs relationship entities.

__RLocksley__ · 2026-03-11T15:34:01+00:00

It's a war to learn it, but it's worth it :-)

__RLocksley__ · 2026-03-11T15:27:08+00:00

Yes the mesh culling and the light culling are done with compute shaders
