Particle

Represents a single physical particle in simulation. A Particle stores physical things like mass, position, forces etc. and can be used to simulate motion over time.

Methods

Particle(u32 capacity, u32 maxLevel)

Constructor to create new Particle

position	Initial world-space position
mass	Mass of the particle	0.1

Particle& applyForce(const Vector3& force)

Applies force to the current particle by adding it to the current forces

force

force to add

Particle& applyFriction(const Vector3& friction)

Applies friction to the particle's velocity and accumulated forces

friction

Friction coefficient to apply.

Vector3 acceleration(const Vector3& force, const float& mass)

Computes acceleration based on force and mass (F = m * a).

force	Total force applied to the particle.
mass	Particle mass used for acceleration calculation.

Particle& update(const float& dt)

Updates particle state using elapsed time.

dt

Delta time step used for the simulation update

0.02
