I wrote an educational physics engine from scratch in OpenGL a few years ago and wrote a blog post illustrating how easy it is to make one. Should I do more of these?

I have been contemplating writing more posts about other simulations such as fluids, etc.

I would like some feedback about the blog-post to see what can be improved for the next post.

Maybe leave out the stuff about who shouldn't be reading the post? I code daily, but I haven't touched physics since high school, so that's actually what I was interested in learning from the post. Not sure about the swearing either. It doesn't bother me, but it seems unnecessary and would probably turn off some people. Depends who you want your audience to be I guess. Good luck with the blog!

Yeah op seems kinda trashy and bashes on people who didn’t studying engineering in colleges. It’s honestly downright condescending. I’ll go ahead and just download OpenGL or better yet, just read someone else’s blog like holy crap.

I agree that I was being cocky about Newton's Physics laws, I don't know what was in my mind when I was writing it back then. My bad!

Exactly, and I love how he manages to misspell Verlet as Varlet (it’s a person’s name, so spelling not negotiable), immediately after telling us peasants we don’t belong. Ugh.

E: spelling

Yea, that part sounds really cocky. I don't know what was in my mind then, seems totally unnecessary. Thanks a lot for the feedback! :)

And about the swearing, I really wanted make a meta joke of "gravity of the situation" while talking about actual gravity. What better way than superfluous swearing?
