## Core Modules Deep Dive
### 1. `src/dynamics/` - Physics Simulation
Handles movement, forces, and constraints.
#### RigidBody System
**`RigidBody`** (`rigid_body.rs`) - The fundamental physics object
- **Three body types:**
- `Dynamic`: Fully simulated - responds to forces, gravity, collisions
- `Fixed`: Never moves - infinite mass (walls, floors, terrain)
- `Kinematic`: User-controlled movement - pushes but isn't pushed (platforms, doors)
**Key properties:**
- Position/rotation: `translation()`, `rotation()`, `position()`
- Velocity: `linvel()`, `angvel()`, `set_linvel()`, `set_angvel()`
- Mass: `mass()`, `center_of_mass()`, computed from attached colliders
- Forces: `add_force()`, `add_torque()`, `add_force_at_point()` (continuous, cleared each step)
- Impulses: `apply_impulse()`, `apply_torque_impulse()`, `apply_impulse_at_point()` (instant)
- Damping: `linear_damping()`, `angular_damping()` (air resistance, drag)
- Sleeping: `sleep()`, `wake_up()`, `is_sleeping()` (performance optimization)
- CCD: `enable_ccd()`, prevents fast objects tunneling through walls
- Locking: `lock_rotations()`, `lock_translations()`, `set_locked_axes()` (constrain movement)
- Gravity: `gravity_scale()`, `set_gravity_scale()` (0.0 = zero-g, 1.0 = normal, 2.0 = heavy)

- Prediction: `predict_position_using_velocity()`, `predict_position_using_velocity_and_forces()`
**`RigidBodySet`** (`rigid_body_set.rs`) - Collection of all bodies
- Handle-based storage (generational indices prevent use-after-free)
- Methods: `insert()`, `remove()`, `get()`, `get_mut()`, `iter()`, `contains()`
- `propagate_modified_body_positions_to_colliders()` for manual position sync
**`RigidBodyBuilder`** - Builder pattern for creating bodies

- Methods: `insert()`, `remove()`, `get()`, `get_mut()`, `iter()`
- Queries: `joints_between()`, `attached_joints()`, `attached_enabled_joints()`
#### Integration & Solving

### 2. `src/geometry/` - Collision Detection
#### Collider System
**`Collider`** - Collision shape ("hitbox") attached to bodies
- **Shapes**: Ball, Cuboid, Capsule, Cylinder, Cone, Triangle, Segment, HeightField, TriMesh, Compound, ConvexHull
- **Material properties:**
- Friction: 0.0 = ice, 0.5 = wood, 1.0 = rubber
- Restitution: 0.0 = clay (no bounce), 1.0 = perfect elastic, >1.0 = super bouncy
- Combine rules: Average, Min, Max, Multiply (how to combine when two colliders touch)

#### Collision Detection Pipeline
**`BroadPhaseBvh`** - First pass: quickly find nearby pairs
- Uses hierarchical BVH tree for spatial indexing
- Filters out distant objects before expensive narrow-phase
- Incrementally updated as objects move
- Optimization strategies: `SubtreeOptimizer` (default) vs `None`
**`NarrowPhase`** - Second pass: compute exact contacts
- Calculates precise contact points, normals, penetration depths
- Builds contact manifolds (groups of contacts sharing properties)
- Managed automatically by PhysicsPipeline
- Access via `contact_graph()` for querying contact pairs
**`ContactPair`** - Detailed collision information
- Methods: `total_impulse()`, `total_impulse_magnitude()`, `max_impulse()`, `find_deepest_contact()`
- Contains multiple `ContactManifold` structures
- Each manifold has contact points with normals, distances, solver data
#### Collision Filtering
**`InteractionGroups`** - Layer-based collision control
- Two components: `memberships` (what groups I'm in) and `filter` (what groups I collide with)
- 32 groups available: `Group::GROUP_1` through `Group::GROUP_32`
- Bidirectional check: A and B collide only if A's memberships overlap B's filter AND vice versa
- Example: Player bullets (group 1) only hit enemies (group 2)
**`ActiveCollisionTypes`** - Filter by body type
- Controls which body type pairs can collide
- Defaults: Dynamic↔Dynamic ✓, Dynamic↔Fixed ✓, Dynamic↔Kinematic ✓, Fixed↔Fixed ✗
- Rarely changed - defaults are correct for most games
**`QueryFilter`** - Filter spatial queries
- Flags: `EXCLUDE_FIXED`, `EXCLUDE_DYNAMIC`, `EXCLUDE_SENSORS`, `ONLY_DYNAMIC`, etc.
- Groups: Filter by collision groups
- Exclusions: `exclude_collider`, `exclude_rigid_body`
- Custom: `predicate` closure for arbitrary filtering
### 3. `src/pipeline/` - Simulation Orchestration
**`PhysicsPipeline`** - The main simulation loop
- **`step()`**: Advances physics by one timestep
1. Handles user changes (moved bodies, added/removed colliders)
2. Runs collision detection (broad-phase → narrow-phase)
3. Builds islands and solves constraints (contacts + joints)
4. Integrates velocities to update positions
5. Runs CCD if needed
6. Generates events
- Reuse same instance for performance (caches data between frames)
**`CollisionPipeline`** - Collision detection without dynamics
- Use when you only need collision detection, not physics simulation
- Lighter weight than PhysicsPipeline
**`QueryPipeline`** - Spatial queries (created from BroadPhase)
- **Raycasting:**
- `cast_ray()` - First hit along ray

- **AABB queries:**
- `intersect_aabb_conservative()` - Find colliders in bounding box
- Filtering via `QueryFilter`
**`EventHandler`** trait - Receive physics events
- `handle_collision_event()` - When colliders start/stop touching
- `handle_contact_force_event()` - When contact forces exceed threshold
- Built-in: `ChannelEventCollector` sends events to mpsc channels
- Enable per-collider with `ActiveEvents` flags
**`PhysicsHooks`** trait - Custom collision behavior
- `filter_contact_pair()` - Decide if two colliders should collide
- `filter_intersection_pair()` - Filter sensor intersections
- `modify_solver_contacts()` - Modify contact properties before solving
- Enable per-collider with `ActiveHooks` flags

**`CollisionEvent`** - Collision state changes
- `Started(h1, h2, flags)` - Colliders began touching
- `Stopped(h1, h2, flags)` - Colliders stopped touching
- Methods: `started()`, `stopped()`, `collider1()`, `collider2()`, `sensor()`
### 4. `src/control/` - High-Level Controllers
**`KinematicCharacterController`** - Player/NPC movement
- Handles walking, slopes, stairs, wall sliding, ground snapping
- NOT physics-based - you control movement directly
- Features:
- `slide`: Slide along walls instead of stopping
- `autostep`: Automatically climb stairs/small obstacles
- `max_slope_climb_angle`: Max climbable slope (radians)
- `min_slope_slide_angle`: When to slide down slopes
- `snap_to_ground`: Keep grounded on uneven terrain
- Returns `EffectiveCharacterMovement` with `translation` and `grounded` status
**`DynamicRayCastVehicleController`** - Arcade vehicle physics
- Raycast-based suspension (simpler than constraint-based)
- Add wheels with suspension, steering, engine force
- Automatically handles wheel contacts and forces
### 5. `src/data/` - Core Data Structures
**`Arena<T>`** - Handle-based storage
- Generational indices: (index, generation) pair
- Prevents use-after-free: old handles become invalid when slots reused
- Used for: `RigidBodySet`, `ColliderSet`, `ImpulseJointSet`
- Methods: `insert()`, `remove()`, `get()`, `get_mut()`, `iter()`
- Advanced: `get_unknown_gen()` bypasses generation check (unsafe)
**`Graph<N, E>`** - Generic graph structure
- Nodes and edges with associated data
- Used for: interaction graph (bodies/colliders), joint graph
- Enables: "find all joints attached to this body"
**`ModifiedObjects`** - Change tracking

- Enables incremental updates (only process changed objects)
- Critical for performance
### 6. `src/counters/` - Profiling
**`Counters`** - Performance measurements
- Tracks time in: collision detection, solver, CCD, island construction
- Subdivided: broad-phase time, narrow-phase time, velocity resolution, etc.

QueryFilter::exclude_sensors() // Only solid shapes

```
## Advanced Concepts
### Sleeping System
Bodies automatically sleep when at rest (velocities below threshold for 2 seconds). Sleeping bodies:
- Skipped in collision detection and simulation
- Auto-wake when hit or joint-connected to moving body
- Configured via `RigidBodyActivation`:
- `normalized_linear_threshold`: Linear velocity threshold (default 0.4)
- `angular_threshold`: Angular velocity threshold (default 0.5)
- `time_until_sleep`: How long to be still before sleeping (default 2.0s)
- Disable with `can_sleep(false)` or `RigidBodyActivation::cannot_sleep()`
### CCD (Continuous Collision Detection)
Prevents "tunneling" where fast objects pass through thin walls:
- **Hard CCD**: Shape-casting with substeps (expensive but accurate)
- **Soft CCD**: Predictive contacts (cheaper, good for medium-speed objects)
- Enable: `RigidBodyBuilder::ccd_enabled(true)` or `body.enable_ccd(true)`
- Soft: `set_soft_ccd_prediction(distance)`
- Active when velocity exceeds auto-computed threshold
### Mass Properties
Total mass = collider masses + additional mass:
- Collider mass: `density × volume` or set directly
- Additional mass: `set_additional_mass()` adds to total
- Auto-computed: mass, center of mass, angular inertia tensor
- Manual recompute: `recompute_mass_properties_from_colliders()`
### Dominance Groups
Bodies with higher dominance push lower ones but not vice versa:
- Range: `i8::MIN` to `i8::MAX`
- Default: 0 (all equal)
- Rarely needed - use for "heavy objects should always win" scenarios
### Contact Skin
Small margin around colliders (keeps objects slightly apart):
- Improves performance and stability
- Might create small visual gaps
- Set via `ColliderBuilder::contact_skin(thickness)`
### Motor Models
How motor spring constants scale with mass:
- **`MotorModel::AccelerationBased`** (default): Auto-scales with mass, easier to tune
- **`MotorModel::ForceBased`**: Absolute forces, mass-dependent behavior
## Common Usage Patterns
### Creating a Dynamic Object
```rust
let body = RigidBodyBuilder::dynamic()
.translation(vector![0.0, 10.0, 0.0])
.linvel(vector![1.0, 0.0, 0.0])
.build();
let body_handle = bodies.insert(body);
let collider = ColliderBuilder::ball(0.5)
.density(2700.0) // Aluminum
.friction(0.7)
.restitution(0.3)
.build();
colliders.insert_with_parent(collider, body_handle, &mut bodies);
```
### Raycasting
```rust
let query_pipeline = broad_phase.as_query_pipeline(
&QueryDispatcher,
&bodies,
&colliders,
QueryFilter::default()
);
let ray = Ray::new(point![0.0, 10.0, 0.0], vector![0.0, -1.0, 0.0]);
if let Some((handle, toi)) = query_pipeline.cast_ray(&ray, Real::MAX, true) {
let hit_point = ray.origin + ray.dir * toi;
println!("Hit {:?} at {:?}, distance = {}", handle, hit_point, toi);
}
```
### Applying Forces vs Impulses
```rust
// IMPULSE: Instant change (jumping, explosions)
body.apply_impulse(vector![0.0, 500.0, 0.0], true); // Jump!
// FORCE: Continuous (thrust, wind) - call every frame
body.add_force(vector![0.0, 100.0, 0.0], true); // Rocket thrust
```
### Creating a Joint
```rust
let joint = RevoluteJointBuilder::new()
.local_anchor1(point![1.0, 0.0, 0.0])
.local_anchor2(point![-1.0, 0.0, 0.0])
.limits([0.0, std::f32::consts::PI / 2.0]) // 0-90° rotation
.build();
let joint_handle = joints.insert(body1, body2, joint, true);
```
### Character Controller
```rust
let controller = KinematicCharacterController {
slide: true,
autostep: Some(CharacterAutostep::default()),
max_slope_climb_angle: 45.0_f32.to_radians(),
snap_to_ground: Some(CharacterLength::Relative(0.2)),
..Default::default()
};
let desired_movement = vector![input_x, 0.0, input_z] * speed * dt;
let movement = controller.move_shape(
dt, &bodies, &colliders, &query_pipeline,
character_shape, &character_pos, desired_movement,
QueryFilter::default(), |_| {}
);
character_pos.translation.vector += movement.translation;
```
### Collision Events
```rust
use std::sync::mpsc::channel;
let (collision_send, collision_recv) = channel();
let (force_send, force_recv) = channel();
let event_handler = ChannelEventCollector::new(collision_send, force_send);
// In physics step
physics_pipeline.step(..., &event_handler);
// After physics
while let Ok(event) = collision_recv.try_recv() {
match event {
CollisionEvent::Started(h1, h2, _) => println!("Collision!"),
CollisionEvent::Stopped(h1, h2, _) => println!("Separated"),
}
}
```
## Performance Optimization Tips
1. **Sleeping**: Let objects at rest sleep (default behavior)
2. **Shape choice**: Ball/Cuboid/Capsule >> Convex Hull >> TriMesh
3. **Solver iterations**: Lower `num_solver_iterations` if accuracy isn't critical
4. **Parallel**: Enable `parallel` feature for multi-core
5. **Broadphase**: Keep objects reasonably distributed (not all in one spot)
6. **CCD**: Only enable for fast objects that need it
7. **Event generation**: Only enable events on colliders that need them
8. **Collision groups**: Filter unnecessary collision checks
9. **Fixed timestep**: Use fixed `dt`, accumulate remainder for smooth rendering
## Common Patterns & Best Practices
### Handle Storage
```rust
// Store handles, not references
struct Player {
body_handle: RigidBodyHandle,
collider_handle: ColliderHandle,
}
// Access when needed
let player_body = &mut bodies[player.body_handle];
```
### 2D Game in 3D Engine
```rust
let body = RigidBodyBuilder::dynamic()
.locked_axes(
LockedAxes::TRANSLATION_LOCKED_Z |
LockedAxes::ROTATION_LOCKED_X |
LockedAxes::ROTATION_LOCKED_Y
)
.build();
```
### One-Way Platforms (via hooks)
```rust
struct OneWayPlatform;
impl PhysicsHooks for OneWayPlatform {
fn filter_contact_pair(&self, context: &PairFilterContext) -> Option<SolverFlags> {
// Allow contact only if player is above platform
if player_above_platform(context) {
Some(SolverFlags::COMPUTE_IMPULSES)
} else {
None // No collision
}
}
}
```
### Compound Shapes
```rust
// Multiple colliders on one body
let body_handle = bodies.insert(RigidBodyBuilder::dynamic().build());
colliders.insert_with_parent(
ColliderBuilder::cuboid(1.0, 1.0, 1.0).translation(vector![0.0, 1.0, 0.0]).build(),
body_handle, &mut bodies
);
colliders.insert_with_parent(
ColliderBuilder::ball(0.5).translation(vector![0.0, 3.0, 0.0]).build(),
body_handle, &mut bodies
);
// Now the body has a box + ball shape
```
## Troubleshooting
### Objects Tunneling Through Walls
- Enable CCD: `body.enable_ccd(true)`
- Increase wall thickness
- Reduce timestep (`dt`)
- Increase `num_solver_iterations`
### Unstable Simulation (Jittering, Explosions)
- Reduce mass ratios (avoid 1kg vs 1000kg objects)
- Increase `num_solver_iterations`
- Check for conflicting constraints
- Verify joint anchors are reasonable
- Reduce timestep if using large `dt`
### Poor Performance
- Check sleeping is enabled (`can_sleep(true)`)
- Use simpler shapes (capsules instead of meshes)
- Enable `parallel` feature
- Reduce `num_solver_iterations` if acceptable
- Use collision groups to avoid unnecessary checks
- Only enable events on colliders that need them
### Bodies Stuck/Not Moving
- Check if sleeping: `body.wake_up(true)`
- Verify mass > 0 (check collider density)
- Check locked axes aren't preventing movement
- Verify gravity scale isn't 0

**Conversion Pattern:**
```rust
// Before:
/// ```ignore
/// let body = RigidBodyBuilder::dynamic().build();
/// bodies.insert(body);
/// ```
// After:
/// ```
/// # use rapier3d::prelude::*;
/// # let mut bodies = RigidBodySet::new();
/// let body_handle = bodies.insert(RigidBodyBuilder::dynamic());
/// ```
```
Hidden lines (prefixed with `#`) provide setup code while keeping examples readable.
**Key Fixes Required for Compilation:**
1. **Removed unnecessary `.build()` calls**: Builders implement `Into<T>`, so:
- `RigidBodyBuilder::dynamic().build()` → `RigidBodyBuilder::dynamic()`
- `ColliderBuilder::ball(0.5).build()` → `ColliderBuilder::ball(0.5)`
- These work directly with `insert()` and `insert_with_parent()`
2. **Fixed API calls to match actual implementation:**
- `&QueryDispatcher` → `narrow_phase.query_dispatcher()` (QueryPipeline needs a dispatcher reference)
- Added `NarrowPhase::new()` setup for query pipeline examples
3. **Corrected property/field names:**
- `hit.toi` → `hit.time_of_impact` (RayIntersection struct)
- `collider.shape()` → `collider.shared_shape()` (when printing/debugging)
4. **Added required setup for complex examples:**
- `project_point()` example: Added `IntegrationParameters`, `broad_phase.set_aabb()` call
- Character controller: Changed to `Ball::new(0.5)` instead of shape reference
- Joint examples: Fixed to use `Vector::y_axis()` instead of implicit axis
5. **Fixed joint constructor calls:**
- `RevoluteJoint::new()` → `RevoluteJoint::new(Vector::y_axis())` (axis required)
- `PrismaticJoint::new(...)` → `PrismaticJoint::new(Vector::x_axis())` (axis required)
**Remaining Work:**
- `geometry/collider.rs` has 12 ignored examples still marked as `ignore` (these are intentionally left as `ignore` for documentation purposes where full compilation context would be overly verbose)
**Impact:**
- ✅ Documentation examples now compile with `cargo test --doc`
- ✅ Examples stay correct as codebase evolves (tests will catch API changes)
- ✅ Copy-paste ready code that actually works
- ✅ Improved documentation quality and developer experience
- ✅ Builders work seamlessly without explicit `.build()` calls

### Most Common Operations
```rust
// Create world
let mut bodies = RigidBodySet::new();
let mut colliders = ColliderSet::new();
let mut joints = ImpulseJointSet::new();
let mut pipeline = PhysicsPipeline::new();
// Add dynamic ball
let body = bodies.insert(RigidBodyBuilder::dynamic().translation(vector![0.0, 5.0, 0.0]).build());
colliders.insert_with_parent(ColliderBuilder::ball(0.5).build(), body, &mut bodies);
// Add static floor
let floor = bodies.insert(RigidBodyBuilder::fixed().build());
colliders.insert_with_parent(ColliderBuilder::cuboid(10.0, 0.1, 10.0).build(), floor, &mut bodies);
// Simulate
pipeline.step(&gravity, &params, &mut islands, &mut broad_phase, &mut narrow_phase,
&mut bodies, &mut colliders, &mut joints, &mut multibody_joints,
&mut ccd_solver, &(), &());
// Query
let pos = bodies[body].translation();
let vel = bodies[body].linvel();
// Modify
bodies[body].apply_impulse(vector![0.0, 100.0, 0.0], true);
bodies[body].set_linvel(vector![1.0, 0.0, 0.0], true);
```
