An open source 3D physics engine. A reincarnation of my old physics engine: react in Rust. Feature list is currently very limited and the library is still in the experimentation phase, therefore I do not recommend using the library. If you are looking for a physics engine in Rust, have a look at nphysics which I use as my reference implementation.
I have always wanted to build a physics engine, and with Rust maturing into an amazing language, I wanted to put the two things together. So I came up with this crazy idea to write a physics engine in Rust!
The project is also an exercise in software architecture and testing applied to a high performance and unpredictable application. I am a strong believer in test driven development and transparent software architecture, and applying those beliefs to a physics engine is probably one of my biggest challenge yet! I try hard to apply my experience in testing software to drive the physics engine forward (something you don’t see very often in this field), and also to keep the application architecture sane and not expose too much of the implementation. With all these in mind, the project is progressing much slower than I would like! But hopefully it will all pay off later. It is my hope that with a transparent, solid and well tested foundation, this project could eventually be completely self supported by the community.
