With the belief that computer scientists are also concerned with making software tools that simplify the development process, I build tools so we all can study science easier.

All libraries on this page are SVE-based. SVE stands for Simple Virtual Environment Toolkit originally developed at the Georgia Tech GVU center.

You can click on the name of the library to download the tarball.

If you cannot get the libs to work, contact me.

SVE Widget lib
The lib supports drawing various kinds of widgets in 3D, such as buttons, drop down menus, sliders, dynamic sliders, etc.
The code was used by myself and students in Dr. Bowman's Virtual Environment class.

SVE utility lib
Includes a lot of routines that simplifies your daily work with OpenGL and SVE, such as drawing simple shapes (e.g., box) , doing math etc.
Most importantly, you don't need to know opengl to use it. Students from Dr. Bowman's class proved this.

SVE physics engine
It is based on ODE (open dynamic engine). Using this library, you can assign physics properties to SVE objects.
