About

You can check the WEB version here. It is a port using WASM generated by Emscripten using WebGL on the browser.

  • Restricted only to circles
  • Supports gravity
  • Supports collisions
    • Implements a Quadtree for collision detection
  • Supports constraints
    • Implements both a circle and a rectangle world constraint
  • Supports user interaction
    • Dragging
    • Spawning
    • Explode
