The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

If you can't beat, block em
I know you mean PhysX how it was WAYYY back (& GPU accel), but it's been open source for ages.
- GamersNexus asks AMD if their contracts block other upscaling tech. AMD's response: "No Comment"
- 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

I looked into KSP2 Code, here is what I've found
Unity’s default physics engine is literally PhysX (https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/PhysX).
- found on r/coaxedintosnafu
- Where and how can I learn to make simulation programs? I like to be a simulation developer!

Does anyone know how VPhysics (Source's implementation of Havok) do such a good job at solving the bullet through paper problem?
It all gets petty hairy.. which is why writing physics engines is Hard, and you should be pretty skeptical when someone is like: "Hay gauis I made a new phYsics engine!! you should totally use it!" Even the big guys thrash around in this space.. as someone mentioned in another comment... although there is sometimes a case to be made for rolling your own, if you're valve for instance.. All that said, I'm really partial to Bullet just because it's so damn battle tested (unity/blender and countless other engines) But I'm generally pro havok/physX and also the newer Jolt physics library. https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/PhysX https://github.com/ashconnell/physx-js https://jrouwe.github.io/JoltPhysics/

Nvidia PhysX 5.0 is now open source
Then what about this? https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/PhysX/tree/4.1/physx

y'all forgot that NIS existed.
PhysX has gone open source quite a while ago as well: https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/PhysX https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/UnityPhysXPlugin

I ran a.bat file from a pull request in Nvidia physX github reopository, is it ok?
The pull request can be found here: https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/PhysX/pull/577
What are some alternatives?
