Build a simple 2D physics engine for JavaScript games

  2D and 3D physics engines focused on performance.

  

A rather more modern physics engine for JS games can be found at https://rapier.rs/. It's written in Rust, compiled to WASM, works for 2D and 3D, and it's fast (well, fast for JS anyway).

Interesting! This makes sense to me.

I'm new to physics engines—I just started figuring out how to upgrade my simple grid cellular automata engine to a 2D engine for my toy sim tool (https://github.com/breck7/simoji)—and have been surprised by existing implementations, because it just seems not how the universe actually computes. I had not seen PBD before and it seems to be a closer model.

You should check out taichi: https://github.com/taichi-dev/taichi They have a ton of great demos for doing physics but check out this example in particular for something related to your project: https://github.com/taichi-dev/quantaichi#game-of-life-gol. (Taichi also makes it super easy to write things for the GPU and the kernels are differentiable :).)
