@box2d/benchmark

A benchmark to compare various js/ts Box2D implementations.

Try it here: https://lusito.github.io/box2d.ts/

Fair Warning: In theory this can be added as a dependency to other physics libraries in order to run benchmarks against local code. But this has not been tested yet.

The @box2d Ecosystem

@box2d is a full-blown ecosystem for box2d for the JavaScript/TypeScript world. It can be used both in the browser and in node.js

Check out demos and compare performance here: https://lusito.github.io/box2d.ts/

Fair Warning: The whole @box2d ecosystem is in an early stage, so it will probably change a lot before we release the first stable version (1.0.0).

Other packages included in the ecosystem:

• Benchmark: Based on bench2d by joelgwebber
• Controllers: From the LiquidFun project
• Particles: Also from the LiquidFun project
• Lights: ported from LibGDX
• Testbed: A set of demos, partially ports of the original projects, partially new ones.
