Snippets

What are PhysX Snippets?

+

In the context of the PhysX SDK, a 'Snippet' is a simple, minimalistic code sample. +PhysX-SDK version 3.3.0 offers a collection of Snippets to illustrate usage of the PhysX API in a +concise format, free from the complexity of a sample framework or game engine. The Snippets folder is +in the top-level directory of the PhysX SDK, alongside directories for Documentation, Include, Samples, etc.

+
+
The folder {SDK Root}/Snippets/compiler/{platform} contains the Snippets solution file, e.g.
+
Snippets/compiler/vc10win64/Snippets.sln
+
+

Although a few of the Snippets support rendering, ( Win32, Win64, OSX and Linux only ) most Snippets do not provide rendering, require no input, +and provide only limited output through messages. Although Snippets can be run from a command prompt or by double-clicking the executable +icon, the best way to explore Snippets is by viewing the code in the Visual Studio IDE, and running the program in the debugger.

+

HelloWorld: PhysX Basics

+

SnippetHelloWorld illustrates basic use of PhysX, from startup to shutdown of a simple scene, and +is a good place to start learning the PhysX API. The simplest Snippets comprise a single source file, but SnippetHelloWorld, +among others, supports optional rendering through a second source file. SnippetHelloWorld creates a number of box stacks on +a plane, and if rendering is enabled, allows the user to create new stacks and fire a ball from the camera position.

+

The primary code for SnippetHelloWorld is found in {SDK Root}/Snippets/SnippetHelloWorld/SnippetHelloWorld.cpp.

+
+
+

Using PhysX Visual Debugger with SnippetHelloWorld

+

As is the case with any Snippet built against PROFILE, CHECKED or DEBUG configurations of the PhysX runtime, +HelloWorld will automatically connect to the PhysX Visual Debugger if that application is already running +when the Snippet executable is launched. For Snippets without rendering, PVD provides an easy way to visualize +the contents of the PhysX scene presented in the Snippet. In the screenshot image below, PhysX Visual Debugger appears on +the right hand side, while Visual Studio and Snippet Hello World are on the left.
