Advanced Mechanics Design - Tank

As part of the Advanced Mechanics Design module at the University of Staffordshire, I built this tank project which represented realistic vehicle physics using different calculations.

In the module, I was tasked in building a physics-based controllable tank to manoeuvre around a map in different ways. This module taught me the basics of vehicle simulation, giving me the knowledge to add friction and apply forces based on it. I also created a camera rig system that allowed for the player to look around with the tank being able to face the turret in the direction given.

• Physics based Tank Movement
• Friction
• Traction

• Vehicle Simulation
• Advanced Camera Rig System
• Structured Object-Oriented Programming
• Created in 3 weeks

This module taught me the basics of vehicle simulation, giving me the knowledge to add friction and apply forces based on it. I also created a camera rig system that allowed for the player to look around with the tank being able to face the turret in the direction given. All created with structure and object-oriented programming in mind.
