<!--docid::SEC329::-->
<P>

There are many types of forces that can be used.  More are easy to add as
well.  The three main types are environmental forces, N-body forces, and
simple forces.
</P><P>

Environmental forces are added to a `<SAMP>ctWorld</SAMP>' and act on all bodies in
that world, for example gravity, air resistance, etc.
</P><P>

<TABLE><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td class=example><pre>ctGravityF* gf = new ctGravityF(9.81 / M_PER_WORLDUNIT);
phyz_world.add_enviro_force(gf);
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>

N-body forces are forces that act between multiple bodies, for example springs
and planetary gravity.
</P><P>

<TABLE><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td class=example><pre>ctVector3 spring_attachment_point1(0, 1, 0);
ctSpringF* sf = new ctSpringF(
    rb1, spring_attachment_point1,
    rb2, spring_attachment_point2);
sf-&#62;set_magnitude(200.0 / M_PER_WORLDUNIT);
// Need to add force to each body it affects.
rb1-&#62;add_force(sf);
rb2-&#62;add_force(sf);
</pre></td></tr></table></P><P>

Specify the second body as `<SAMP>NULL</SAMP>' to indicate that end is attached to
the world and is therefore immovable.
</P><P>

Simple forces would be something like a rocket engine or other kind of force
that only acts on one body.
