Squash Physics and I Bought a Mac

After Creating the basic Component structure for my Squash game ( or any game I plan to make in the future ) I started implementing as much of it as I could without implementing physics. When it came to that point I was pretty bewildered as to how to do it. Ideally I wanted something that could simulate the collisions and report back to me that a collision had occurred and the effect it should have ( i.e. the new velocity of the ball ). I had a look at a few free libraries out there such as Havok and nVidia Physx but they all seemed to want to do too much of the work and wouldn't fit at all with the component design I had in mind. Which brought me to the conclusion, maybe I should write my own after all it is fairly simple collisions in a squash game apart from the racquet. I soon forgot about this notion as I'm not a massive fan of reinventing a square wheel. I still had a dilemma as to what library to use and how it would fit with my design though. 

After a lot of searching about and reading a lot of Physics Libraries Documentation I ended up settling with Bullet Physics, It is fairly lightweight, the documentation was fairly easy to read and setting it up wasn't much of a hassle. I did have to make the physics work alongside the component system rather than within it but that I think was inevitable. Anyway after playing around with it a bit I have managed to get working physics into the game: 

That is where things are at with my game but the big news is that I have just bought a MacBook Pro so I will now be taking a leap into the world of Apple and developing some iOS games and applications which I will hopefully be showing on here. This is a pretty exciting prospect for me as I have been wanting to buy one for a few months now. 

Hopefully a lot more to come 
Cheers :)
