Physics Simulation

📌 Overview

A C++ physics simulation project using modern OpenGL (GLFW) for real-time visualization of particles and fields. The system is modular, supporting extensible simulation laws (Newton's Laws), and is designed for future integration with ImGui for interactive UI controls.

🛠️ Selected Technologies

1. C++ 17

The main programming language, chosen for its performance and modern features, enabling efficient simulation and extensible architecture.

---

2. OpenGL (GLFW)

Used for rendering the simulation in real time, handling window/context creation, and drawing particles and fields.

---

3. CMake

Build system generator for cross-platform compilation and easy dependency management.

---

4. ImGui

Immediate Mode GUI library for C++ to provide interactive controls and visualization.
