iio 1.3 box2D version? #25

Closed jamessimo closed 8 years ago

jamessimo commented 10 years ago

Hey I was just wondering what version of box2D the new version will use, the one hosted on google I find to be out of date (JUN 2011 https://code.google.com/p/box2dweb/downloads/list ) and there is only one contributor. For some users this bug may be a deal breaker https://code.google.com/p/box2dweb/issues/detail?id=29 . (this bug can be patched)

If I am not working with iio I tent to opt for this version of box2D https://github.com/kripken/box2d.js/

I haven't worked it out yet, but I will explore other options when I get there. Thanks for the link, this one looks good.

Well playing more with https://github.com/kripken/box2d.js/ I have found it to be not half as nice as the google version, due to the nature of it being a port of the C++ version, the JS and console output is a mess and is counter-intuitive (from a javascript standpoint).

Interesting, thanks for the tip. Maybe I'll stick with the google one or try and create my own branch.

So v1.4 ended up sticking with Box2dWeb (https://github.com/hecht-software/box2dweb). I tried using the kripken version but I couldn't figure out a way to interface its shapes with iio's rendering engine.

It looks like there have been new updates to the demos though that I didn't see when I started looking into it: http://kripken.github.io/box2d.js/webgl_demo/box2d.html

I will try again at some point, I think this version is a better choice
