Win32, OpenGL and ODE Physics

ODE Physics Tutorials

ODE is a physics library that allows you to add realistic physical behavior to the objects in your virtual worlds. ODE stands for Open Dynamics Engine and was written by Russell Smith as an open source project. My ODE examples were compiled using the free Dev-Cpp compiler available here.


Hi Folks

Nice to be back again. I've been doing a bit of work with C# which is something I never wanted to do, but, as a RAD tool it does the job. Another reason was the fact that it is being used more and more for game development and third party modding tools. For my first project I decided to create an eBid bulk listing utility. Thanks go to the hundreds of C# websites and blogs out there for all their great tutorials and tips that made the task possible, you know who you are :) The program is called BusyLister and it's available at my eBid store. You can click on the following image to learn more about it. Speaking of clicking... if you want to help me out please consider clicking on the banner above and joining eBid which is a free auction site comparable to eBay. You've heard it before, webmasters and developers who offer their work for free can only do so if there is some form of reciprocal support. I only get Buddy Points at the moment which aren't of much use but there is talk of an affiliate program coming.



I'll be working on this program for a while but I'm leaning towards a C# tutorial series for the site, it's all a question of priorities. If you've been tuning in to the Alex Jones Broadcast then you'll know what I mean.

See you soon!

Merry Christmas All

I hope you all had a great 2009 and got a lot done, like getting out of debt, buying water filtration equipment, planting a heritage seed garden, pulling the plug on the television, talking to your neighbours about the nwo and putting a '9/11 was an inside job' sticker on your car. As if that isn't enough I also turned 41 this year and have teenagers! Basically what this means is that I am planning to have a nervous breakdown early in the new year and should be coherent sometime in May or early June. Perhaps this occurred while I was working on my cold fusion experiments and I am in denial, who can tell?

This site has had a bit of maintenance done to it but I wont promise that anything new will be added to it soon. If somebody would like tackle the enormous task of cataloguing my failed promises I would be grateful. This may mean I have the right stuff to be a successful politician. Just be sure to give me the Peace Prize within the first few months of office in case things "Change". But seriously, I look forward to adding a lot more to this site and pushing the frontiers of graphics programming but there are so many other important things going on that I must dedicate my time to setting up www.TranquilityLane.com as a resource for truthers everywhere. The first move will be to upload a blog script but I still don't know which direction to take the new site in so for now I will just start posting random snippets of information and let it evolve naturally. If none of this makes any sense to you simply google "building 7" and be amazed, or conned, the choice is yours.

Here comes 2010... all the best!

Hi All

Just a small update to release a modding utility for GTAIV. It is called IVTracker and allows you to search for almost any text within the thousands of texture files that come with the game. It should also be useful to modders that want to quickly find a particular building to edit within the hundreds of models (when the model editing utility becomes available) by simply searching for a sign on the building itself. You can get an idea of how time consuming this would be if done manually by looking at the data file here

I was very impressed by the quality and look of the city in GTAIV and believe this game will become one of the most modded games in history. My biggest disappointment with the game was the tone of the billboards and advertising around the city. Far from being amusing as was the case with San Andreas, they are grossly offensive and I believe the game content must have been authored by the accounting department, or worse... see these screenshots from GTAIV on my new website at www.TranquilityLane.com

Download IVTracker Here

I hope IVTracker will speed up the development of many new texture packs but to allow people to easily apply these textures to their game installation we still need another application. I have also been working on creating another utility called IVSwap that will take hundreds of textures and swap them into the image files at the click of a button rather than asking people to download very large image files or import hundreds of textures one at time. It is half completed but I didn't want IVTracker to sit on the shelf while I wrestle with the internals of the texture resources.
