Top 23 C++ Physic Projects

  • Bullet

    Bullet Physics SDK: real-time collision detection and multi-physics simulation for VR, games, visual effects, robotics, machine learning etc.

    No, they replaced Bullet with Jolt. That is considerably more than "some adjustment", regardless of what you think of the result.

  • Box2D

    Box2D is a 2D physics engine for games

    Project mention: Where and how can I learn to make simulation programs? I like to be a simulation developer! | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2023-01-15
  • Sonar

    Write Clean C++ Code. Always.. Sonar helps you commit clean C++ code every time. With over 550 unique rules to find C++ bugs, code smells & vulnerabilities, Sonar finds the issues while you focus on the work.

  • LiquidFun

    2D physics engine for games

    Project mention: How would I go about making a platform that wraps from one side of the screen to the other | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2022-12-27

    Sadly the marketing department failed utterly, somehow thinking they could sell CFD to... the same kind of kids that spend 200 bucks on loot boxes. I think the absolutely batshit insane potential for dynamic 2D gameplay was barely scratched before they sold the code to Google (creating the LiquidFun project) and went their separate ways. These days the engine has branched into a lot of things, notably a 3D industrial version called ParticleWorks which is a CAD plugin for bringing SPH to mechanical engineering.

  • Piccolo

    Piccolo (formerly Pilot) – mini game engine for games104

    Project mention: Pilot Engine is a tiny game engine | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-06-01
  • PhysX

    NVIDIA PhysX SDK

    Project mention: I looked into KSP2 Code, here is what I've found | reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram | 2023-02-24

    Unity’s default physics engine is literally PhysX (https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/PhysX).

  • JoltPhysics

    A multi core friendly rigid body physics and collision detection library, written in C++, suitable for games and VR applications.

    Project mention: Rust – Are We Game Yet? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-03-16

    As far as physics engines go: Jolt currently seems to kinda disrupt the decade-long equilibrium, at least as far as I'm aware:

  • root

    The official repository for ROOT: analyzing, storing and visualizing big data, scientifically

    Project mention: Root: Analyzing Petabytes of Scientific Data | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-02-01

  • Physics3D

    A 3D physics engine

    Project mention: Good open source projects to learn from? | reddit.com/r/cpp_questions | 2022-05-27

    Physics3D is I'd say a mid-size project. It is mostly C++11, so nothing cutting edge.

  • Rootex

    An advanced C++ 3D game engine powering an in-production game yet to be announced

  • espresso

    The ESPResSo package (by espressomd)

  • WarpX

  • cadabra2

    A field-theory motivated approach to computer algebra.

    Project mention: A basic introduction to NumPy's einsum | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-04-09

    If you're into tensor algebra i can only recommend the beautiful piece of Software Cadabra is:

    https://cadabra.science/

    We wrote an article with it once, 40th order in the Lagrangian, perhaps 50k pages of calculations when all printed. Amazing tool! Thanks Kasper!
