- replaced all usage of heapSort by quickSort
- finished btMultiSapBroadphase. Still some work to be done to increase performance (faster add/remove from child broadphases.
uses currently AABB tree to locate child broadphase (should use grid), and sorted array takes too much time.
added hashtable based PairManager, thanks Pierre Terdiman and Erin Catto
improved friction in 'cachefriendly' solver
moved 'refreshcontactpoints' into collision detection, instead of solver
avoid linear search for contact manifolds, by storing an index
ignore margin for sphere shape (its entire radius is already margin)
avoid alignment checks in BVH serialization, they don't compile on 64-bit architectures
made 'bomb' box more heavy
Some dynamic memory allocations have been replace by pool allocation or stack allocations.
quantized aabb versus quantized aabb overlap check is made branch-free (helps a lot on consoles PS3/XBox 360)
Collision algorithms are now created through a new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration, to decouple dependency (this is the API change):
Example:
btDefaultCollisionConfiguration* collisionConfiguration = new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration();
m_dispatcher = new btCollisionDispatcher(collisionConfiguration);
- optionally disable collisions between bodies that are linked with constraints
- improved debug rendering with support for compounds, spheres, capsules
- contact points are persistent (lifetime more then one frame, for warmstarting/incremental contact point management)
- continuous collision detection, time of impact
Added btRigidBody::isInWorld(), returns true if btRigidBody is inside a btCollisionWorld/btDynamicsWorld derived class
Added angularFactor to btRigidbody, this helps some character control (no angular impulse applied)
Added btStackAlloc to Bullet (right now only used by btGjkEpa)
removed default constructors of btCollisionWorld/btDiscreteDynamicsWorld, to reduce link-time dependencies
improved performance of constraint solver by precalculating the cross product/impulse arm
added collision comparison code: ODE box-box, also sphere-triangle
added safety check into GJK, and an assert for AABB's that are very large
write partid/triangle index outside of GJK
CompoundShapes are tricky to manage with respect to persistent contact points and swapped order of btCollisionObjects,
During dispatch, finding an algorith etc. order can be swapped.
fixed several other issues, related to SimpleBroadphase (removing a proxy was not working)
