Cloth Simulation

The project is simulating bunch of particles that are bind by force with each other forming a grid, and applying physics mechanism to:

• Drag the particle (Left Mouse Click)
• Tear binding force (Right Mouse Click)

These experience is simulating the physical phenomenon of a hanging cloth.

Framework

The project is written with C++ and SFML framework. Check the following page for SFML documentation https://www.sfml-dev.org/

Development guideline

Note: The program is written in with Mac OS machine, thus Windows guideline is not available yet.

Pre-requisite

• Install Homebrew by following the documentation here: https://brew.sh/
• When Homebrew installation is complete you should be able to execute execute brew -v
• Install SFML with Homebrew by executing the following command. brew install sfml
• During installation, Homebrew may give information about required dependencies. Then follow the instruction to install those dependencies with homebrew.

Development

• Run brew info sfml to confirm installation and grab the file path to sfml assets installed from homebrew
• Run cp .env.example .env, and replace the SFML_PATH value with the path you retrieved from the previous step.
• If running the code with VSCode run cp .vscode/c_cpp_properties.example.json .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json and replace SFML_PATH similar from previous step

Running Simulation

• Execute make clean && make && ./a.out
