I recently learned a little bit of OpenGL through learnopengl.com. I've got through the window, gone through the triangle, then shaders along with interpolation, textures, and now transform. When I say transform, meaning I can move the shape I created a shape I made to anywhere on the screen, and now I wish to implement physics. I'll be using Box2D since it's popular, and I like to know how to get it working. Going through the demos found in the samples, I can't seem to figure out how the shapes in opengl are given position to the b2body. Does anyone have any idea on how I can go about this?

Code:

#include <glad/glad.h>

#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>

#define STB_IMAGE_IMPLEMENTATION

#include <stb_image.h>

#include <box2d/box2d.h>

#include <glm/glm.hpp>

#include <glm/gtc/matrix_transform.hpp>

#include <glm/gtc/type_ptr.hpp>

#include <shader_s.h>

#include <iostream>

void framebuffer_size_callback(GLFWwindow* window, int width, int height);
void processInput(GLFWwindow* window);

// settings
const unsigned int SCR_WIDTH = 800;
const unsigned int SCR_HEIGHT = 600;

int main()
{

    // Define the gravity vector.
    b2Vec2 gravity(0.0f, -10.0f);

    // Construct a world object, which will hold and simulate the rigid bodies.
    b2World world(gravity);

    // Define the ground body.
    b2BodyDef groundBodyDef;
    groundBodyDef.position.Set(0.0f, -10.0f);

    // Call the body factory which allocates memory for the ground body
    // from a pool and creates the ground box shape (also from a pool).
    // The body is also added to the world.
    b2Body* groundBody = world.CreateBody(&groundBodyDef);

    // Define the ground box shape.
    b2PolygonShape groundBox;

    // The extents are the half-widths of the box.
    groundBox.SetAsBox(50.0f, 10.0f);

    // Add the ground fixture to the ground body.
    groundBody->CreateFixture(&groundBox, 0.0f);

    // Define the dynamic body. We set its position and call the body factory.
    b2BodyDef bodyDef;
    bodyDef.type = b2_dynamicBody;
    bodyDef.position.Set(0.0f, 4.0f);
    b2Body* body = world.CreateBody(&bodyDef);

    // Define another box shape for our dynamic body.
    b2PolygonShape dynamicBox;
    dynamicBox.SetAsBox(1.0f, 1.0f);

    // Define the dynamic body fixture.
    b2FixtureDef fixtureDef;
    fixtureDef.shape = &dynamicBox;

    // Set the box density to be non-zero, so it will be dynamic.
    fixtureDef.density = 1.0f;

    // Override the default friction.
    fixtureDef.friction = 0.3f;

    // Add the shape to the body.
    body->CreateFixture(&fixtureDef);

    // Prepare for simulation. Typically we use a time step of 1/60 of a
    // second (60Hz) and 10 iterations. This provides a high quality simulation
    // in most game scenarios.

  • \$\begingroup\$ I'm not quite sure what you mean by "given position to". You'll have a collection of fixtures/physics bodies with positions, and a collection of mesh instances to render with positions, and code you write will copy the positions from the physics bodies to the mesh instances. Can you show us how you've tried writing that code so far, and where you got stuck or need help? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 11, 2024 at 18:21
  • \$\begingroup\$ Yeah sorry about that. I'm new to posting my code on here and don't really know what I'm doing \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 13, 2024 at 22:43
