    mat4 transform;
    vec3 linear_velocity;
    vec3 angular_velocity;
    float mass;
    mat3 inertia_tensor;
    float restitution;
    float friction;
} RigidBody;

// 约束求解器
void solve_constraints(RigidBody* bodies, Constraint* constraints, int count) {
    for(int iter=0; iter<SOLVER_ITERATIONS; iter++){
        for(int i=0; i<count; i++){
            Constraint c = constraints[i];
            vec3 r1 = c.pos1 - bodies[c.body1].transform.translation;
            vec3 r2 = c.pos2 - bodies[c.body2].transform.translation;
            
            vec3 jacobian = (r1.cross(c.normal) - (r2.cross(c.normal));
            float effective_mass = 1.0f / (bodies[c.body1].inverse_mass + 
                                  bodies[c.body2].inverse_mass +
                                  jacobian.dot(jacobian));
            
            float lambda = -effective_mass * c.current_error;
            apply_impulse(&bodies[c.body1], &bodies[c.body2], c.normal * lambda);
        }
    }
}

破坏系统实现

// Voronoi破碎算法
void fracture_mesh(Mesh* original, vec3 impact_point, int shard_count) {
    // 生成Voronoi站点
    vec3 sites[shard_count];
    generate_random_sites(original->bounds, sites, shard_count);
    
    // 计算破碎面
    for(int i=0; i<original->vertex_count; i++){
        vec3 v = original->vertices[i];
        int nearest = find_nearest_site(v, sites, shard_count);
        assign_vertex_to_shard(v, nearest);
    }
    
    // 生成碰撞体
    for(int i=0; i<shard_count; i++){
        create_convex_collider(shards[i]);
        apply_initial_impulse(shards[i], impact_point);
    }
}

} CascadeShadowConfig;

void update_cascades(Camera* camera, Light* light) {
    float near = camera->near;
    float far = camera->far;
    float lambda = 0.5f;
    
    // 计算分割面
    for(int i=0; i<4; i++){
        float ratio = (i+1)/4.0f;
        float linear = near + (far - near) * ratio;
        float logarithmic = near * pow(far/near, ratio);
        config.splits[i] = lambda*logarithmic + (1-lambda)*linear;
    }
    
    // 更新各层级矩阵
    for(int i=0; i<4; i++){
        Frustum split_frustum = camera->get_frustum_slice(config.splits[i], config.splits[i+1]);
        config.view_proj_matrices[i] = light->get_ortho_matrix(split_frustum);
    }
}

软阴影实现

float PCSS_shadow(vec3 world_pos) {
    vec4 shadow_coord = light_view_proj * vec4(world_pos, 1.0);
    shadow_coord.xyz = shadow_coord.xyz / shadow_coord.w;
    
    // 遮挡物搜索
    float blocker_depth = find_blocker_depth(shadow_coord.xy);
    float penumbra_size = (shadow_coord.z - blocker_depth) * LIGHT_SIZE / blocker_depth;
    
    // 百分比渐进过滤
    return PCF_filter(shadow_coord, penumbra_size);
}

3. 开放世界架构

    int x, y;
    bool is_loaded;

void update_streaming(Camera* camera, WorldChunk* chunks) {
    vec3 cam_pos = camera->position;
    int center_x = (int)(cam_pos.x / CHUNK_SIZE);
    int center_y = (int)(cam_pos.z / CHUNK_SIZE);
    
    // 更新加载范围
    for(int dy=-LOAD_RADIUS; dy<=LOAD_RADIUS; dy++){
        for(int dx=-LOAD_RADIUS; dx<=LOAD_RADIUS; dx++){
            int x = center_x + dx;
            int y = center_y + dy;
            WorldChunk* chunk = get_chunk(chunks, x, y);
            
            if(!chunk->is_loaded && distance(dx,dy) <= LOAD_RADIUS) {
                load_chunk_async(chunk);
            } else if(chunk->is_loaded && distance(dx,dy) > UNLOAD_RADIUS) {
                unload_chunk(chunk);
            }
        }
    }
}

int select_LOD(vec3 position, Camera* camera) {
    float distance = vec3_distance(position, camera->position);
    for(int i=0; i<LOD_COUNT; i++){
        if(distance < LOD_LEVELS[i].transition_end) {
            return i;
        }
    }
    return LOD_COUNT-1;
}

// 几何淡出过渡
void apply_morphing(vec3* vertices, int lod_from, int lod_to, float alpha) {
    for(int i=0; i<vertex_count; i++){
        vec3 v_prev = project_to_LOD(vertices[i], lod_from);
        vec3 v_next = project_to_LOD(vertices[i], lod_to);
        vertices[i] = vec3_lerp(v_prev, v_next, alpha);
    }
}

    float respawn_rate;
    float* species_distribution;
    vec3 spawn_area;

        if(randf() < spawn_chance) {
            vec3 pos = random_point_in_area(biome->spawn_area);
            spawn_creature(select_species(biome->species_distribution), pos);
            biome->current_count++;
        }
    }

} BuildingPiece;

bool validate_placement(BuildingPiece* piece, Terrain* terrain) {
    // 碰撞检测
    if(check_collision(piece->collider)) return false;
    
    // 地形倾斜度检查
    float slope = calculate_slope(terrain, piece->position);
    if(slope > MAX_BUILD_SLOPE) return false;
    
    // 地基支撑检查
    return check_foundation_support(piece);
}

void apply_modular_damage(BuildingPiece* piece, vec3 impact_point, float force) {
    // 破坏传播算法
    float local_damage = force * material_properties[piece->material].fragility;
    propagate_damage(piece->connected_pieces, local_damage);
    
    if(piece->integrity < 0.3f) {
        play_structure_warning_sound(piece->position);
    }
}

    WEATHER_CLEAR,
    WEATHER_RAIN,
    WEATHER_STORM,
    WEATHER_SNOW
} WeatherState;

void update_weather(World* world, float delta_time) {
    // 状态转移概率
    float transition_chance = get_biome_transition_rate(world->current_biome);
    if(randf() < transition_chance * delta_time) {
        world->weather_state = select_next_weather(world->weather_state);
    }
    
    // 实时效果更新
    switch(world->weather_state) {
    case WEATHER_RAIN:
        update_rain_fall(world->rain_intensity);
        apply_wetness_to_terrain();
        break;

    float respawn_time;
    float harvest_difficulty;
    vec3 position;
} HarvestableResource;

bool attempt_harvest(Player* player, HarvestableResource* resource) {
    // 工具匹配检查
    if(!player->tool->can_harvest(resource->type)) return false;
    
    // 技能检查
    float success_chance = player->skills.harvesting / resource->harvest_difficulty;
    if(randf() > success_chance) return false;
    
    // 资源获取
    int obtained = calculate_yield(resource, player->skills);
    add_to_inventory(player, resource->type, obtained);
    
    // 刷新逻辑
    resource->remaining -= obtained;
    if(resource->remaining <= 0) {

    }
    return true;
}

四、调试与优化

物理调试工具

// 物理可视化绘制
void draw_physics_debug(PhysicsWorld* world) {
    // 显示碰撞体
    for each collider in world->colliders {
        draw_wireframe(collider->shape);
    }
    
    // 显示约束
    for each constraint in world->constraints {
        draw_line(constraint->anchorA, constraint->anchorB);
    }
    
    // 显示受力向量
    for each body in world->bodies {
        draw_vector(body->position, body->force * 0.1f);
    }
}

渲染分析工具

// 渲染通道计时器
typedef struct {
    GLuint queries[MAX_FRAMES];
    double times[5]; // ShadowPass, GeometryPass, LightingPass, PostProcess, Total
} RenderProfiler;

void begin_profile_frame(RenderProfiler* p) {
    glGenQueries(5, p->queries);
    glBeginQuery(GL_TIME_ELAPSED, p->queries[0]);
    // Shadow pass...
}

void end_profile_frame(RenderProfiler* p) {
    glEndQuery(GL_TIME_ELAPSED);
    for(int i=0; i<5; i++){
        GLuint64 time;
        glGetQueryObjectui64v(p->queries[i], GL_QUERY_RESULT, &time);
        p->times[i] = time / 1e6; // 转换为毫秒
    }
    print_performance_stats(p->times);
}

内存优化策略

// 基于区域的资源分配
typedef struct {
    void* memory_block;
    size_t used;
    size_t size;
} MemoryArena;

void* arena_alloc(MemoryArena* arena, size_t size) {
    if(arena->used + size > arena->size) return NULL;
    void* ptr = (char*)arena->memory_block + arena->used;
    arena->used += size;
    return ptr;
}

void arena_reset(MemoryArena* arena) {
    arena->used = 0;
}

// 使用示例
MemoryArena frame_arena = create_arena(16 * 1024 * 1024); // 16MB
PhysicsData* physics = arena_alloc(&frame_arena, sizeof(PhysicsData));
// 每帧结束时调用arena_reset
