Heavy Destruction is an interactive demo first-person shooter (FPS) game made with Python, Panda3D and ODE which focuses on showcasing an implementation of destructible environments, namely walls.
The demo was made as part of the author's undergraduation thesis in Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil. The full paper (in Portuguese), named "Experimentation in Interactive Physics Simulations for Games", and its associated presentation slides, are available in the Downloads folder, as well as 30-second video of the demo.
