planck.js

Why is this upvoted so much? In what way is it better than any of the existing JS physics engines? Matter.js: http://brm.io/matter-js/ Cannon.js: http://www.cannonjs.org/ PhysicsJS: http://wellcaffeinated.net/PhysicsJS/ Box2DJS: http://box2d-js.sourceforge.net/ (Emscripten-compiled from flash) p2: https://github.com/schteppe/p2.js Ammo.js: https://github.com/kripken/ammo.js/ (Emscripten-compiled from C++) JPE: https://github.com/colorhook/JPE Oimo.js: https://github.com/lo-th/Oimo.js/ Planck.js: https://github.com/shakiba/planck.js

One advantage is that the planck [1] is over 4x smaller than the emscripten build [2]. [1]: https://github.com/shakiba/planck.js/blob/master/dist/planck... [2]: https://github.com/kripken/box2d.js/blob/master/build/Box2D_...

Planck.js developer here! I have posted this to reddit before, so I'm just going to include it here too: I have ported/rewritten Box2D physics engine to JavaScript, for cross-platform HTML5 game development. Planck.js includes entire Box2D algorithms, a simple HTML5 Testbed, more than 50 examples and some new game prototypes. The project is pre-released and there may still be minor issues, which I'm working to fix. So far I have spent more than 400 hours for developing this project and it consists of around 20k lines of code. https://github.com/shakiba/planck.js My main motivations for working on this project are: - Taking advantage of Box2D's efforts, achievements and community knowledge - Developing readable and maintainable JavaScript code - Optimizing the library for web and mobile platforms - Providing a JavaScrip-friendly API Your f

It baffles me that all those JS physics library never provide proper docs or even an API reference and always link to the C++ Box2D manual as if it was an acceptable alternative. Always have to guess what the JS equivalent is but even then you're in for a surprise: https://github.com/shakiba/planck.js/blob/master/CHANGES.md
