⁠Rust event driven simulation

Event-driven programming is a widely spread technique used in many areas, from web servers to physical simulations.
This project aims to implement a relatively simple 2D particle collision system. That's it, we have some closed domain, several obstacles, and a bunch of moving particles. Particles can have different radiuses and masses. Obstacles and domain consist of straight-line segments. To calculate physics I used an idealized hard disc model⁠.

The project is mainly based on the chapter from Princeton algorithm course (II part). Check it out here⁠. It contains a lot of useful information and good references to scientific papers about this topic. Another source I used was rust-wasm Convey's game of life implementation guide⁠.

Check out the live example⁠.

The project contains following components:

• red-simulation
• red-demonstration
• red-server

⁠red-simulation

Rust library with all this fancy event-driven logic and physical calculations inside. Built using wasm-pack tools into a .wasm module. All core functionality can be found there.

⁠red-demonstration

Vue3 application with red-simulation wasm library as a dependency. Created with demonstration purposes.

⁠red-server

A small web server that's written on rust using rocket and diesel. Created to store game results from the live example website⁠.

⁠How to build

See detailed instructions in child directories. Better yet you can find ready-to-go example in the example subdirectory.
