Description
A GROUND_WIDTH greater than or equal to about 1e8 causes the simulation to become unstable. Collisions with this very large "ground" seem to impart a large energy to the other collider, which increases as the "ground" is larger. Other times, the object colliding with the ground falls right through.
const PHYSICS_SCALE: f32 = 1e0;
const GROUND_WIDTH: f32 = 1e6;
const GROUND_HEIGHT: f32 = 10.0;
let ground_collider =
ColliderBuilder::cuboid(GROUND_WIDTH * PHYSICS_SCALE, GROUND_HEIGHT * PHYSICS_SCALE)
.translation(vector![GROUND_X * PHYSICS_SCALE, GROUND_Y * PHYSICS_SCALE])
.restitution(GROUND_RESTITUTION)
.collision_groups(InteractionGroups::new(0b0001.into(), 0b1111.into()))
.build();
I'm not sure if this is expected behavior for the collision of objects of very different sizes, but I wanted to raise the issue to attention. I should also mention that the height of the cuboid does not seem to improve the stability of the simulated collisions.
