Pica (3D Physics Engine)

This project is a physics library extension for citro3D, providing a lightweight alternative for physics-based simulation. Currently undergoing bug-bashing session to fix up issues.

The physics engine is a port from qu3e, written by Randy Gual. Permission was granted for porting the code over to the Nintendo 3DS family systems.

citro3d is a library that provides an easy to use stateful interface to the PICA200 GPU of the Nintendo 3DS. It tries to expose hardware functionality in the way that is most natural and convenient to the GPU and the user, therefore deviating from openGL. citro3d is written by fincs, with contributions from Cruel`, mtheall, and tommai78101.

Yes, citro3d is spelled with a lowercase C.

It is written in C programming language.

Why does the physics library depend on citro3d?

Two reasons:

  1. It relies heavily on the math functions integrated into citro3d.
  2. Ease of setting things up.

Setup

Pica (and citro3d altogether) can be built and installed using the following command (should not expect any issues here):

make install

Demonstration Code

Please check the /demo directory or in the repository above. Currently under construction.

Additional Credits

Thanks to LinkBlaBla for the project name, Pica. It is inspired by the graphics chipset on the Nintendo 3DS, named PICA200.
