Planck.jsα
Planck.js (or simply Planck–quantum of action in physics) is a JavaScript rewrite of Box2D C++ game physics library. Planck has a JavaScrip-friendly API and small footprint suitable for web and mobile HTML5 game development.
Planck includes Box2D algorithms without modification and its internal architecture and external API are close to Box2D. However some changes and refactoring are made during rewrite to address differences between C++ and JavaScript.
Box2D is a popular C++ 2D physics library created by Erin Catto, it is used in several popular games such as Angry Birds, Limbo and Crayon Physics as well as several game development tools and libraries.
