If the DGDK Help File is any indicator then to simulate actual physics you need to get Dark Physics, or some other alternative.

The PhysX SDK is free, you know.

It is, but if you want to commercially sell your game(s) with PhysX, its a 50k license.

Excellent...

I probably won't be saying that when I'm trying to use it... (I am implying here that I sux at programming and not that the SDK sucks).

Umm, do yard sales count? XD

I'd say he's fine with that.

Your right on the money with that (if you meant if I was fine without the license).

yes, physX is free, but the annoying thing is physX wants you to use matrices to rotate stuff, which GDK doesn't support. that is the reason i started using raw directX.

You can just write your own physics engine, and then you'll know all the ins and outs of how it works! I'm actually in the process of it now...

Ok, but i use physics only for simulate the object gravity (like tank move on a hill).
There is a code in dark gdk for do that or i must buy dark physics?
(i would an high level code for make physics, no a physx)
Someone can help me?

For something like that, the easiest free solution would be combining Sparky's Collision with your own simply gravity solution. It wouldn't be too difficult.

sorry,but what is Sparkly's Collision?
It is the dbParticle commands in dark gdk or other?

thx

It is not part od GDK, but it is free. it is used to detect collision between objects, and for raytracing. search the forums for Sparky's

Sparky's collision is an EXTREMELY useful plugin to help you with collision - especially sliding collision. Search 'DBP Collision' and you'll find it.

You could always try ODE, not sure if the wrapper is included with DGDK though.

Actually, GDK does support matrices. Just get a pointer to the sObject struct, and enable the override flag (I can't remember what it's called, but it has a comment after saying it is used by DarkPhysics) and then you can set the matrix directly for the object!
