Chipmunk Physics

[bigsofty]

This is a 2D cross platform physics library.

Its fast, very fast, much faster than 3D physic libs because its optimised for 2 dimensions only. Its also open source and platform independant.

See here for an example...

Looks realy GREAT !!!

[Ian Price]

Very clever.

Can someone, please write a wrapper for it?

[Schranz0r]

I will do, but i need a Dll !
can you make a little one?

[Kitty Hello]

Is there no dll? Is it just C?
Trucidare?

[bigsofty]

C99 implementation, no external dependencies.

Why not just inline (C #include?) the whole thing, its not terribly big and this would allow it to work on all GLBasic supported platforms, not just windows?

My C is not up to this or I would give more help

[trucidare]

i make it tomorrow on work...

[Polarwolf]

So how's it going?

[bigsofty]

So how's it going?

So how is it... erm?

[bigsofty]

Dunno if anyone is still working on the conversion but Box2D (http://www.box2d.org/ of which Chipmunk is based on version 1) version 2.0 is out, this fixes a lot of the problems with Chipmunk (Swept collisions for example) and kinda supersedes it now. Its still cross-platform and graphics API independent though... word to the wise.

Yes, I've seen it on a PocketPC this week. Looks really promising. We'll definitely should wrap this one.

[bigsofty]

There's even a fixed point version in the works on the SVN that would run on the GPX

It know it compiles with GCC but my knowledge of C is limited, damn, I knew I shoulda kept awake during my college C classes!
