Consider renaming World to JitterWorld or PhysicsWorld

Good day.

The word World is pretty standard way to call your actual game world or a namespace in a project, so I think it would be a good idea to consider renaming World to JitterWorld, JWorld or PhysicsWorld or something similar to avoid collisions.

I get your point. Two reasons against a change:

  1. This would unfortunately break the API.
  2. This is what namespaces are for. The Vector/Matrix/Math struct are an exception, since these types are close to guaranteed to exist somewhere else in the project and are used all over the place.

Since the Jitter2-namespace itself does only house very few elements

there might be the option for you to just remove "using Jitter2;" and add "using JWorld = Jitter2.World;" to get the desired outcome?

Yeah, it's not a big deal, just small inconvenience. And yes, I myself also added using-renaming as you suggested.
