2D Physics

Engines, Libraries and Tools
#1

I notice that the most recent version of Phys2d is from 2008. Are there any 2d physics engines which are being actively developed?

#2

I think JBox2D is pretty much what everyone uses now, and I’m pretty sure that it’s actively developed (I’m new to Java Development, so I could be wrong.)

#3

The most popular physics engine is JBullet, which is a port of the Bullet engine to Java, made by our very own jezek2 :slight_smile:

#4

Isn’t JBullet for 3D? Or is it both?

#5

JBullet can be used for 2D but after talking to jezek2, he said you’re better off with JBox2D for pure 2D physics.

#6

Libgdx have native wrapper for latest box2d. It’s fastest and maintained.

#7

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll check out jbox2d and the libgdx native wrapper.
