Dynamic Physics Network Visualizer

Developed as a collaborative 2-person project, this tool is a high-performance network visualizer. It allows users to create, link, and manipulate nodes in a physics-based environment where every element reacts dynamically to forces and collisions.

Technical Architecture: ECS (Entity-Component-System)

The project stands out by its modular architecture, separating data from logic:

• Entities: Generic containers (IEntity) identified by IDs.
• Components: Logic-less data containers for Transform, Physics, Render, and Collision.
• Controllers/Systems: Decoupled logic handlers for Physics, Rendering, and User Interaction.

Key Features

• Custom Physics Engine: Implements Spring Physics for links and Collision Resolution with repulsion forces to prevent node overlapping.
• State Serialization: Features a robust system to save and load entire network configurations into .txt files.
• Real-time Inspector: A Bootstrap-powered UI that allows live editing of node properties (size, color, friction) and global physics constants.
• Intuitive Interaction: Multi-button mouse support for creating nodes (left-click) and establishing spring links (right-drag).

Collaborative Development

As a team of two, I contributed to the full stack of the application, from the core abstract classes (IComponent, IEntity) to the complex physics controllers and the responsive UI integration.
