2d Shooter

My goal is to develop a 2D shooter with SIO2. Is using the bullet API the best approach to detect hits?

Get the contact points:

Code:



      unsigned int i = 0,
                j;

      while( i != _SIO2physic->_btSoftRigidDynamicsWorld->getDispatcher()->getNumManifolds() )
      {
         btPersistentManifold *_btPersistentManifold = _SIO2physic->_btSoftRigidDynamicsWorld->getDispatcher()->getManifoldByIndexInternal( i );

         j = 0;
         while( j != _btPersistentManifold->getNumContacts() )
         {
            btRigidBody *_btRigidBody = ( btRigidBody * )_btPersistentManifold->getBody0();

            
            ++j;
         }

         
         ++i;
      }




I was wondering if you could tell me the difference between the approach you just posted and the ray collision presented in tutorial 9?

i.e.

btCollisionWorld::ClosestRayResultCallback ray( from, to );
sio2->_SIO2physic->_btSoftRigidDynamicsWorld->getCollisionWorld()->rayTest( from, to, ray );

rayTest( from, to, ray ) casts a "ray" from and observer ("from") to an point in the distance ("to") and returns a list of collision objects. You can check the Bullet manual, here:

btCollisionWorld::rayTest
