<div><p>Have you ever wondered if you can make your own physics engine in JavaScript? If so, you have come to the right place. We are going to build a Physics engine from scratch in JavaScript.</p>
<p>Before we start, I should mention that this tutorial assumes you have a good understanding of Vectors.
Don’t worry if you do not yet have this understanding — Vectors are simple: get the Vector.js.</p>
<h2 id="what-is-verlet-physics">What Is Verlet Physics?</h2>
<p>According to Wikipedia:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Verlet integration is a numerical method used to integrate Newton’s equations of motion. It is frequently used to calculate trajectories of particles in molecular dynamics simulations and computer graphics. The algorithm was first used in 1791 by Delambre and has been rediscovered many times since then, most recently by Loup Verlet in the 1960s for use in molecular dynamics.
In simple terms, Verlet physics is just a system of connected dots.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3 id="in-a-verlet-system-we-have-2-main-components">In a Verlet system, we have 2 main components:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Points (dots)</li>
<li>Constraints (sticks)</li>
</ol>
<p><img src="./images/verlet_box.png" alt="A Box. Connected With Dots And Sticks"></p>
<h2 id="dots">Dots</h2>
<p>The dots have basic physics applied to them.
We have to keep track of the dots’ current and old positions to add the physics behavior to them — you&rsquo;ll see this when we implement it.</p>

</code></pre></div><p>The update function will update the position and handle the physics of the dot.</p>
<p>To do Verlet integration, we have to calculate velocity based on dots old position.</p>
<p>In the first line, we are <strong>subtracting the current position from the old position to get the desired velocity.</strong> After calculating the velocity, we apply friction to the dots, so they come to rest instead of sliding forever.</p>
<p>Then, we update the old position by saying <code>this.oldpos.setXY(this.pos.x, this.pos.y)</code> and add the velocity and gravity to the position.</p>
<p>We also want to make them stay inside the canvas, so we have to add some checks. We will also add another function: <code>constrain()</code>:</p>

<p>Excellent — it&rsquo;s just a start, but finally, we have something.</p>
<p>Now we are going to add the sticks!</p>
<h2 id="sticks">Sticks</h2>
<p>Sticks are the core of Verlet physics. Sticks make sure that the dots don’t get too far or too close to each other — they constrain dots to a certain distance.</p>
<p><img src="./images/constraint_particle.png" alt="https://slsdo.github.io/blob-family/#constraint"></p>
<p><strong>Stick.js</strong> class is relatively simple. It will take two <strong>Dots</strong> as an argument and a length. But if the length is not defined, we will calculate the length based on the dot’s position.</p>

<h2 id="entityjs-managing-dots-and-sticks-in-one-place">Entity.js: managing dots and sticks in one place</h2>
<p>Okay, now we have Dot.js and Stick.js. Both are working nicely, but the problem is we don&rsquo;t have much control over how we use them.</p>
<p>We will create an Entity Class that will easily handle the Updates and Renders of the Verlet Object. I&rsquo;m going to paste the whole code here — it’s nothing special:</p>

<p>Verly.js is a Robust Verlet physics engine I wrote. It has many cool features:</p>

<li>Attraction — Repulsion behavior</li>
<li>Basic Shapes</li>
<li>Box, Hexagon, Cloth, Rope, Ragdoll</li>
<li>Cloth Tearing</li>
<li>Typography and Text</li>
