Development of Educational Materials to Enhance Students' Motivation using the ODE Physics Engine 出 村 公 成 ※1 Kosei DEMURA This paper presents educational materials, a simulator and a textbook, using the Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) . ODE is an open source, fast, robust and industrial quality library for a real-time and interactive simulation of rigid body dynamics. ODE is suitable for developing educational materials. However, there had been no book which introduced how to use ODE to make
