]]> Comment on Runge-Kutta 4th order by Wouter Lindenhof http://www.limegarden.net/2009/03/07/runge-kutta-4th-order/comment-page-1/#comment-754 Wouter Lindenhof Sun, 19 Jun 2011 13:04:13 +0000 http://limegarden.net/2009/03/07/runge-kutta-4th-order/#comment-754 It took me a few weeks (or rather months) to understand why and how RK4 is working. Explaining it in a comment or maybe even a single blog post is something that would be incredible hard for me to do. That is also the reason why I suggested in my post that you contact a math teacher. For me it's also been 2 years and 3 months since I last looked at the code and I fear it would take me quite a while to write a proper answer that would make sense (I'm already working on this comment for more than half an hour trying to explain it and I finally have given up). And to be completly fair, I didn't understand it 100% at the time. I do however suggest you try to formula out using pen and paper, at that time I suddenly understood how RK4 was working. Sorry I can't be anymore help to you. It took me a few weeks (or rather months) to understand why and how RK4 is working.

It seems you not only calculate state[v] which is not used later, but also always return p->acceleration as speed. Could you explain me this part:
38 state[x] = p->Position + d[x]*DT;
39 state[v] = p->Velocity + d[v]*DT;
40
41 output[x] = state[v];
42 output[v] = p->Acceleration;
?

It seems you not only calculate state[v] which is not used later, but also always return p->acceleration as speed.

The philosophy as you stated seems to be similiar in to what I had in mind but after reading your last blog entry (http://blog.wussie.nl/2010/11/status-update, really 2010?) I was wondering: Have you also been able to play this philosophy when writing game code? Game code often seems more tightly coupled, which means that the philisopy gets a whole lot harder and in addition we often store logic in data files (layout & animation of the GUI is an example). I also know that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_War:_Fleet_Command" rel="nofollow">AI War</a> used a database to perform their logic. Anyway after reading your blog it's clear to me I need to do a little bit more thinking about this philosophy. By the way, is it possible that I can have a copy of your research thesis/paper? It seems like a good start and I'm intressted in how much our philosophy match. Damn, I hate it when pressing escape to often causes the input to cancel, now I write it all again…

We have a core that doesn't even do rendering, just provides basic things like logging, math library stuff, a tick loop and all the other basic stuff you need to do systems development. Everything else is either loaded dynamically from a DLL (and should be hotswappable, theoretically) or, if you so desire you can compile it into the binary with relative ease (just a few preprocessor switches, some restrictions apply though).
