  • Box2D

    Box2D is a 2D physics engine for games

  • I had a quick scan of the box2d algo and it looks like they're side-stepping the whole issue of finding the furthest away point by using a slight variation of the algo compared to the video (or maybe they just use intrinsic properties of how they store their polygons outsourcing the complexity; I haven't looked at the code in too much detail). also, they're caching the simplexes so it speeds up significantly if you do repeated checks (e.g., every frame) on the same objects.
