Hi all, I just want to let you know that I currently work on a port of Box2D for Monkey which is quite some work as every line of code has to be translated (you know, no pointers etc...)

Praise be to you! :) Can't wait.

Thanks! Will take some time but I will try to push it as fast as possible. I already started with BMax a few days ago.

I hope you will succeed.

Awesome news and good luck! It would be something awesome to have on monkey!

Yeah good luck with this, I think it would be a killer module for monkey to get this in :)

Great news and good luck with the conversion.

I'll give my best and keep you up to date. :) Thanks all!

Rock on Xaron! Cant wait :)

Just keep you up to date. I decided to port the jBox2d which is the Java port of Box2d and it's somehow easier as it's almost like monkey already. Function callbacks are replaced by interfaces and so on... It might take some weeks, can't tell a concrete date yet but it will be open source (BSD license)

Is jBox2D based on 2.1.2? There also is a Javascript port around.

Xaron (Posted 2011) [#13]

Yes it is.
