GameFlow

GameFlow™ is a fluid simulation application for interactive gaming developers and developers of training applications to enahance the user experience.  The software has a patent pending and uses some very sophisticated techniques to make the software suitable for real time use.

The objective of a simulation is to present the player of the game or the user of the system a world that behaves like the world we know.  Until recently, the current methods to calculate the physics were not fast enough or stable enough to be used in real-time environments.  Exocortex has developed innovative, fast, efficient techniques that solve this problem.

Fluid simulation requires very complex mathematics to calculate all the interactions.  In GameFlow for instance, the real-time application renders +50 frames per second, using less than 10% of a modern computer's CPU and less than 5 MB of data storage.  The performance and memory constraints make the technology unique and ideally suited for interactive environments. 

For example, fluid simulation technology would be required to simulate wind, sleet, snow, rain, fog, dust, clouds, tornados, whirlpools, blowing leaves or other debris, steam, water, gas, smoke, explosions, shock waves, turbulence and specifically their interaction with other objects in view on the screen.

Instead of using predefined scripts that visually appear the same way each time they are activated, the interaction of the user determines the visual representation and interaction with other objects on the screen are different every time.  This enhanced user experience could be compared to the difference between regular TV and High Definition TV

In addition, developers can now use fluid simulation components as themes for their games, i.e. tornados, poison gas clouds.  Early adopters of the technology will enjoy a competitive advantage with new game themes, positive game reviews resulting in more revenues through a better user experience.

GameFlow supports the following platforms: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux, Microsoft XBox360, Nintendo Wii, and the Sony Playstation 3.  GameFlow can be ported to additional platforms as it is written in standards compliant C++.
