Ask HN: Please suggest me some good open source physics engines
I have to design a 3D world and a 3D robot in that world. I will have to write some programs to make that robot interact with the various objects on the scenario.
What kind of tool/programming environment do you suggest is the best for this ?
Please help.

- _delirium 16y agoDepending on your exact needs, there's a moderate trend towards using game engines for this sort of thing. Two simulation-oriented projects: * The Delta3d game/simulation engine is mainly funded by the U.S. military, for simulation and training applications: http://www.delta3d.org/ http://www.delta3d.org/ * The USARSim robot simulator is built on top of the Unreal Tournament game engine: http://usarsim.sourceforge.net/ http://usarsim.sourceforge.net/ Delta3d is open source; USARSim itself is open source, but depends on the non-open-source Unreal engine.
