Cool!

It worked just fine on my machine, but I also have Visual Studio 2005 installed as well. I managed to get the triangle count up to 26,000 before the framerate started to get low (1-5 fps), but once all the balls came to rest it went back up to ~300fps.

Are you planning to do the same simulation with each of the different physics libraries to test them all?

EDIT: My machine is an Core Duo (each core at 2.00GHz) with 1Gb RAM, and a GeForce Go 7900 GS (256Mb), just for interest's sake [smile].

Congrats, it worked perfectly for me.

WinXP Pro
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual
Core Processor 4200+
2.21 GHz 2.0 GB
NVidia GeForce 6800

Works great! I can't wait to see where your project develops from here. :)

Thanks to everyone for trying it out. [smile] Since i'm fairly new to developing on Windows I wanted to make a small app to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong.

I'm thinking about it. I'll probably play around with Newton a bit more first - that scene is about as simple as it gets (it was really just to test that I had everything set up correctly) and i'd like to play around with some of the more advanced features.

Worked well for me too. The only thing that caught my eye is that the settings dialog defaults the graphics device to Radeon X1400.

Yeah i'm aware of that. The way I have the app set up Ogre automatically loads settings from a config file in the directory. If you don't have a config file it will automatically create one, but the user has to manually set things. Personally I think the config dialog is somewhat confusing if you do it that way, so I just left it with the settings i've been using to make it easier to get going.

It's not really that big of a deal as my understanding is that the config dialog exists in Ogre mostly to make it easier for a developer to get started developing with it, and you'd generally roll your own configuration dialog (which would also have any app specific settings you might need) if you were releasing a final game.
