<div id="preamble">
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Do you remember the <a href="hello_collision.html" class="xref page">Hello Collision</a> tutorial where you made the model of a town solid and walked through it in a first-person perspective? Then you may remember that, for the simulation of physical forces, jME3 integrates the <a href="http://jbullet.advel.cz/">jBullet</a> library.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Apart from making models &#8220;solid&#8221;, the most common use cases for physics in 3D games are:</p>
</div>
<div class="ulist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>Driving vehicles with suspensions, tyre friction, ramp jumping, drifting – Example: car racers</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Rolling and bouncing balls – Example: pong, pool billiard, bowling</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Sliding and falling boxes – Example: Breakout, Arkanoid</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Exposing objects to forces and gravity – Example: spaceships or zero-g flight</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Animating ragdolls – Example: &#8220;realistic&#8221; character simulations</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Swinging pendulums, rope bridges, flexible chains, and much more…</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>All these physical properties can be simulated in JME3. Let&#8217;s have a look at a simulation of physical forces in this example where you shoot cannon balls at a brick wall.</p>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>Popular AAA games use a clever mix of physics, animation and prerendered graphics to give you the illusion of a real, &#8220;physical&#8221; world. Think of your favorite video games and try to spot where and how the game designers trick you into believing that the whole scene is physical. For example, think of a building &#8220;breaking&#8221; into 4-8 parts after an explosion. The pieces most likely fly on predefined (so called kinematic) paths and are only replaced by dynamic Spatials after they touch the ground… Now that you start to implement game physics yourself, look behind the curtain!</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Using physics everywhere in a game sounds like a cool idea, but it is easily overused. Although the physics nodes are put to &#8220;sleep&#8221; when they are not moving, creating a world solely out of dynamic physics nodes will quickly bring you to the limits of your computer&#8217;s capabilities.</p>

<p>You have learned how to activate the jBullet PhysicsSpace in an application by adding a <code>BulletAppState</code>. You have created PhysicsControls for simple Shape-based Geometries (for more complex shapes, read up on <a href="../../physics/physics.html" class="xref page">CollisionShapes</a>). You have learned that physical objects are not only attached to the rootNode, but also registered to the PhysicsSpace. You know that it makes a difference whether a physical object has a mass (dynamic) or not (static). You are aware that overusing physics has a huge performance impact.</p>
