This repository broadly allows for the simulation of deformable particles using an OOP, C++ simulation framework. Currently we only support 2D particles, but 3D is on the way!

Once the repository has been downloaded, any code can be compiled using the g++ compiler with the --std=c++11 flag.

Specific simulations are stored in the main directory, which all use files written in the src directory.

To compile a given simulation to a binary (say bin.o), make the dpm directory your working directory and use:

g++ -O3 --std=c++11 -I src main/[DIR NAME]/[MAIN FILE NAME].cpp src/*.cpp -o bin.o
