Getting started

Worlds, clocks, humanoids

dotnetsimulationgamedevnovolis

novolis-simulation composes worlds, cameras, planar agents, and optional racing scenarios on top of novolis-physics.

Prerequisites

Install

Meta-package (core stack without racing):

dotnet add package Novolis.Simulation

Add racing separately when needed:

dotnet add package Novolis.Simulation.Racing

Quick start

using Novolis.Math.Arrays;
using Novolis.Simulation.World;

var world = new SimulationWorld(new DenseGrid<byte>(width, height), cellSize: 1f);

Humanoid IK (skeletal)

Planar agent move is Novolis.Simulation.Kinematics. Skeletal FK/IK is Novolis.Simulation.Humanoid:

using Novolis.Simulation.Humanoid;

var bind = HumanoidBindPose.CreateDefaultTPose(1.8f);
var pose = HumanoidPose.FromBind(bind);
var worldPose = HumanoidPoseSolver.SolveWorld(bind, pose);
var targets = HumanoidFullBodyIkTargets.WithDefaults();
targets.LeftHand = worldPose.Position(HumanoidBone.LeftHand) + new System.Numerics.Vector3(-0.1f, 0.2f, 0.1f);
HumanoidFullBodyIk.Apply(worldPose, bind, targets);
HumanoidPoseSolver.BakeLocal(bind, worldPose, pose);
