Introduction
The idea for using 3D or Physics engine is to reduce time and line of code. So you can write your application without implementing the low level stuff yourselves. You can write an application faster, because you can focus on the things specific to your application, rather that every tiny detail about how it's rendered, the physics.
PeaceEngine is written in c++ to optimize speed and performance. Has build-in physics(at development stage) integrated 3D graphics with hardware accelerator using opengl. PeaceEngine has standard API for using with various computer programming languages, currently support PYTHON, VB.NET and C#
This example show how to create 3D physics simulation. and how easy of using PeaceEngine.
We will create a little dominoes tower. and hit it with bullet.

x = peSetObjRot(Random.Next(), Random.Next(), Random.Next(), Random.Next() * 360); //tell engine how much angle of object we want to rotate before create it at X,Y,Z and how much angle value as radiant

objcount += 1; //we just created it so we will add 1 to our object counter

//peSetCameraPos(0.0f, 10.0f, 2.0f); //set cameraposition in word space at X,Y,Z axis

{
peBeginScene(); // tell engine that we want to begin scene. it need to call before draw something
peDrawGround(); //draw ground
MainLoop(); //call main loop
peDrawObjs(); // tell engine we want to draw all objects that we just created
peRender(); // tell engine to render (end scene)
stepSim(2); //call stepSim function more step more slow but more accuracy of simulation
}
peShutdown(); // the engine to terminate and good bye.
}
What happening is after we initialize engine by calling InitPeaceEngine(), the dominoes tower is create immediately as we call CreateTower(). Then the program go to the main loop which we can add interactive here. We don't need to put CreateTower() in main loop because we need only 1 time for creating it.
The frame pass and the counter tick. We waiting for 155 frame (~2 second on 75fps ). Then drop_object() is called. and this trigger shoot the bullet at our dominoes tower.
