ODE Physics Engine Integration

✅ ODE Integration Complete

Full Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) support has been integrated into suicmez for 3D physics simulation, perfect for voxel games!

Available ODE Functions

Initialization and Cleanup

• ode_init() - Initialize the ODE library
• ode_close() - Clean up ODE resources

World Management

• ode_world_create() - Create a new physics world
• ode_world_destroy(world) - Destroy a physics world
• ode_world_set_gravity(world, x, y, z) - Set world gravity
• ode_world_step(world, stepsize) - Advance physics simulation

Rigid Bodies

• ode_body_create(world) - Create a new rigid body
• ode_body_destroy(body) - Destroy a rigid body
• ode_body_set_position(body, x, y, z) - Set body position
• ode_body_set_linear_vel(body, x, y, z) - Set linear velocity

Mass and Geometry

• ode_body_set_box_mass(body, density, lx, ly, lz) - Set box-shaped mass
• ode_create_box_geom(space, lx, ly, lz) - Create box collision geometry
• ode_geom_set_body(geom, body) - Attach geometry to body
• ode_geom_destroy(geom) - Destroy geometry

Collision Spaces

• ode_simple_space_create(parent) - Create collision space
• ode_space_destroy(space) - Destroy collision space

Example Usage

# Initialize physics
ode_init()

# Create world with gravity
let world = ode_world_create()
let space = ode_simple_space_create(0 as *())  # null parent
ode_world_set_gravity(world, 0.0, -9.81, 0.0)

# Create a falling voxel/box
let body = ode_body_create(world)
ode_body_set_box_mass(body, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0)  # 1x1x1 meter box
ode_body_set_position(body, 0.0, 5.0, 0.0)        # Start 5 units up

let geom = ode_create_box_geom(space, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
ode_geom_set_body(geom, body)

# Simulate physics
let mut i = 0
while i < 100 do
    ode_world_step(world, 0.016)  # 60 FPS
    i = i + 1
end

# Cleanup
ode_geom_destroy(geom)
ode_body_destroy(body)
ode_space_destroy(space)
ode_world_destroy(world)
ode_close()
