bepuphysics v2

This is the repo for the bepuphysics v2 library, a complete rewrite of the C# 3d rigid body physics engine BEPUphysics v1.

The BepuPhysics and BepuUtilities libraries target .NET 6 and should work on any supported platform. The demos application, Demos.sln, uses DX11 by default. There is also a Demos.GL.sln that uses OpenGL and should run on other platforms. The demos can be run from the command line (in the repo root directory) with dotnet run --project Demos/Demos.csproj -c Release or dotnet run --project Demos.GL/Demos.csproj -c Release.

The physics engine heavily uses System.Numerics.Vectors types, so to get good performance, you'll need a compiler which can consume those types (like RyuJIT).

To build the source, you'll need a recent version of Visual Studio with the .NET desktop development workload installed. Demos.sln references all relevant projects. For more information, see Building.

Features

• Spheres, capsules, boxes, triangles, cylinders, and convex hulls
• Compounds of the above
• Meshes
• A whole bunch of constraint types
• Newts
• Linear and angular continuous collision detection
• Extremely low cost sleep states for resting bodies
• Efficient scene-wide ray and sweep queries
• Character controller example
• At least somewhat extensible collision pipeline, with example custom voxel collidable
• Highly nonidiomatic APIs
• Super speediness
• And a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff!
