Bevy XPBD: A physics engine for the Bevy game engine
There is now also https://github.com/jrouwe/JoltPhysics which is used in Horizon Forbidden West.

Has anyone used Jolt physics engine?
Apparenty, this is a game engine used by Horizon Forbidden West and I was curious what you all think about this project: https://github.com/jrouwe/JoltPhysics
- After months of work, I'm excited to share the first release of Godot Jolt, an extension that integrates the Jolt physics engine into Godot, demonstrated using GDQuest's RoboBlast

Rust – Are We Game Yet?
As far as physics engines go: Jolt currently seems to kinda disrupt the decade-long equilibrium, at least as far as I'm aware:

X4's Upcoming Multiplayer Features Are a Huge Step Forward
No, they replaced Bullet with Jolt. That is considerably more than "some adjustment", regardless of what you think of the result.

Oof. 7fps for an incredibly simple rocket that is well under 100 parts.

Godot for AA/AAA game development – What's missing?
Would you rather they use Jolt Physics? https://github.com/jrouwe/JoltPhysics S&box is thinking of using this engine instead of Source 2's Rubicon. As they say, maybe someone could / would hook up Jolt as a GDExtension.

Xkcd 2916: Machine
Ok, so this uses https://rapier.rs/ which is very cool
Rapier, alongside https://nalgebra.org/ (which it uses underneath) has seriously good documentation and some advanced features like cross-platform determinism (something made hard by the way floating point differs between platforms)

Bevy XPBD: A physics engine for the Bevy game engine
What are the pros and cons compared to something like Rapier? When should one use Bevy XPBD instead of Rapier, or vice versa?

What's everyone working on this week (22/2023)?
Still using Rust in a browser-based multiplayer party game I'm working on! I'm using Actix Web for the backend and rapier2d to handle my game's physics. I'm looking to make some more connections amongst the developer / gaming community through my game down the line.

Constructing a piston/muscle/gas strut in bevy_rapier3d?
I have noticed that Rapier 0.17 contains a RopeJoint struct, which constrains maximum distance between two dynamic bodies. It doesn't seem to have found its way into bevy_rapier3d yet so I haven't understood whether it supports (half of) my use case, and looking at the code (https://github.com/dimforge/rapier/blob/master/src/dynamics/joint/rope_joint.rs) I really cannot see how it is actually implemented and how I could extend it to also set a minimum distance, but this may be a place to start.

Next part of my platformer in bevy series
I was also frustrated with the kcc, so I opened a PR that fixes most of my issues: https://github.com/dimforge/rapier/pull/446

What libraries does Idris need to increase adoption?
Likewise, see the js bindings of Rapier.

Good resources for structuring a 2d physics engine in Rust?
Maybe check out how Rapier does it. Rapier is likely the most advanced physics engine in Rust. (Though Embark Studios is doing some crazy stuff with ML physics.)
