Ideas for physics for cubes

I want to make a cube that looks like a cube that responds to an accelerometer. Thus, the accelerometer provides parameters for moving the cube. I think you need to use little physics here. My question is which formulas, methods should be used to achieve this without any physical engine.

You will need to use OpenGL for this. There's a good physics tutorial for OGL here

In particular, for the cubes, see the demo version of nokia . It is written in cpp ( source here )

From the physical side, you can take a look at this site .

Anyway, I don’t think you need real physics for the application, but just an approximation:

  • I would start to get speed, which depends on the accelerometer (plus or minus, say, 20%) and random angular speeds for cubes.
  • Then find the path for each and when touching the border.
  • Discard them in one direction or another, depending on the rotation at that particular moment.
  • Change the angular speed sign if the bones come back.
  • Reduce the speed by about 50% from each bounce to the threshold.
  • Below this threshold, leave them in the floor and stop moving.
