Third-Party Tools Used:

The software itself is made of 3 seperate solutions that are under the GPL-3.0 License. However, it has been built and tested using various thirdparty tools and libraries.

• Eigen for high-performance linear algebra operations that compute robot kinematics, dynamics, and numerical integration
• GLM for OpenGL-compatible vector and matrix types for graphics transforms, camera math, and rendering-side calculations
• GLFW for creating windows, manage OpenGL contexts, and handle user input across platforms
• GLAD for loading OpenGL function pointers at runtime, and enabling access to more modern OpenGL features
• ImGui for immediate-mode GUI for runtime controls, debugging panels, simulation visualisation tools, and the DSL script editor
• ImPlot for more complex realtime plots used during simulation runs in DSFE
• Assimp for importing 3D meshes and scene data from many file formats for robot models and misc objects
• nlohmann Json for integration of .json files within c++, allowing robots to have defined properties that can be easily retrieved upon loading
• HDF5 for storing structured time-series data from robotic arm simulation runs for post-analysis and comparisons of integration methods performance and stability
• stb image for lightweight loading of png and jpgs files previously used in cubemaps
