Kushal Sukthankar

Initial Idea

Using physics engine to create a Virtual Carrom Game

Drawbacks

Won’t be as fun as Real Carrom

• Carrom is supposed to be Multiplayer

Striking realism is hard to duplicate virtually

Game would become too much like pool

Current Idea

Using JavaScript Physics engine to create a game based on Laws of Physics

• JavaScript -> online

• Not processor intensive

• Its normal Physics, so no need to learn a set of rules

Eg.

• Allowing a ball to move from start point to end point thru obstacles

• Putting balls into baskets to score points

• Manipulating various “devices” to serve your purpose

Box2DJS

JavaScript port of the Box2D Physics engine

Features:

• Continuous collision detection

• Contact and friction

• Multiple joint types

• Fairly accurate reaction forces/impulses

Demo
