The global game constants are being read in from a JSON file, one for physics and the other for game constants and controls. This page describes those constants and what they do.

The Java server reads these in as JSON files.

GameConfig: Global Game Constants

These are constants for controls and graphics.

turnSpeed: the turning speed of the player, in velocity per game second

bulletRadius: the radius of a bullet in game units

playerRadius: the radius of the player in game units

bulletCooldown: the delay between player shots in game seconds

PhysicsModel: Global Physics Constants

These are the constants for the physics of the game.

thrustPower: the thrust acceleration, in units per game second squared

gravityStrength: the acceleration due to gravity, in units per game second squared

dragFactor: a constant controlling the effects of drag, akin to the density of air.

Current Values

The current values are the ones found in src/test/resources/gameConfig.json and src/test/resources/physicsModel.json.
