This repo is intended to be a physics sandbox engine.
-[x] Simulate multiple particle collisions -[ ] Add constraints -[ ] Spawn objects and set parameters via YAML -[ ] Make the runge-kutta more generic -[ ] Make Physics and windows managers
You can format files using the following:
pre-commit run --color=always --all-files
The Dockerfile setup and instructions were adapted from here: https://github.com/PickNikRobotics/ros_testing_templates
The development container allows developers to sandbox repository dependencies from their host machine while allowing them to use familiar development tools.
Build a new development image
Note: The REPO variable is defined in .env
source .env
mkdir -p ~/.${REPO}/ccache
UID=$(id -u); export GID=$(id -g); docker compose -f compose.dev.yml build
Start an interactive development container
UID=$(id -u) export GID=$(id -g); docker compose -f compose.dev.yml run development
Build the repository in the container
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ..
make
To test that your container is working with graphics
username@physics-sandbox-dev:~/physics_sandbox/build$ ./PhysicsSandboxRepository dependencies are built into the development image. This insulates the developer from potentially conflicting dependencies on their host while preventing development from accidentally depending on host packages and configurations. This uniform development environment should also make it easier for developers to collaboratively troubleshoot issues.
As repository dependencies change, the development image will have to be rebuilt. While early on this can happen frequently, dependencies tend to change more slowly later in a project. Unless otherwise noted, it is a good habit to update your image once a sprint.
ccache allows previous builds to speed up future builds. As the container is
not persistent, we need to map the cache to the host so it can be reused in
subsequent instantiations of the container.
On the host, create the cache directory
mkdir -p ~/.${REPO}/ccache
This will then be mapped to /home/username/.ccache in the container.
While the container itself by default is not persistent, several host directories are mapped into the container including
- repository source code
- ssh keys
- git configuration
- host credentials
- X11 connection
This allows for a more seamless development environment for
- building source
- in container committing with your user
- graphical tool use
The full set of volume maps can be read in the compose file.
Commits can be done from directly within the container, with the same host user.

Running rviz from within the container should produce a graphical window on the host.
username@development-container-dev:~/ws/src$ rviz2
As the repository source is volume mapped into the container, it can be edited outside of the container and changes are immediately reflected inside the container. This means you can use your existing host tools (vim, atom, sublime, vs code) to develop, and build in the container.

Adding yourself to the docker group and refreshing shell obviates the need
to run sudo with docker.

Currently, rviz2 has been tested with

nvidia-dockerand intel gpu and it produced comparable frame rates to the host. There is also a question if this is obviated by installing the gpu driver in the container and if that is best practice.
While developing a tool on top of another tool can come with challenges, some may prefer to at least have some simple aliases to reduce the typing boilerplate.
alias builddev="export UIDGID=$(id -u):$(id -g); docker compose -f compose.dev.yml build"
alias rundev="export UIDGID=$(id -u):$(id -g); docker compose -f compose.dev.yml run development"As an aside, a handy way to find a previous command is

Likely, the host ccache directory in your home directory was not created properly. Ensure that the directory is created and owned by the host user.
mkdir -p ~/.${REPO}/ccache
sudo chown -R $(id -u):$(id -g) ~/.${REPO}/ccache
