Detailed Description

A force Field is an object which can interact with other objects with a force, defined by its calculateForce function.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Vulkan::Physics::Field::Field	(	Position	position,
		Force(*)(const Position &, const Cinematicable &)	calculateForce
	)

inline

A force Field is identified by its position and a function.

Parameters

position	The position of che "center" of the field.
calculateForce	A function which returns the force applied by the field to the object. Such force can be based on all of the characteristics of the object inside the field, such as its position, mass or speed. Therefore a field can also be used to compute forces like friction.

Force Vulkan::Physics::Field::calculateAppliedForce ( const Cinematicable & body )

inline

Returns the force applied by the field to a body.

Parameters

body	An object under the influx of this force field.

Position Vulkan::Physics::Field::getPosition ( ) const
