TimeStep Experiments (2012)

The goal of this program is to show the effects of the different time step variants:

• Using actual frame delta times as time steps
• Using one or more fixed time steps

The major tasks writing this program were the following:

• Avoiding the spiral of death with different approaches
• Implementing an "inefficient particle system" to simulate heavy load in a game
• Implementing a Profiler to keep track of the update costs of the different components of the application

The program was done in C++ using the Irrlicht Engine.
