You might have heard a little while ago that I created a javascript physics engine called PhysicsJS. Turns out it’s been getting a lot of attention, but I’m behind on the documentation. I’m working on it though! I recently published a tutorial as a guest blog on flippin’ awesome; Building a 2D Asteroids Game with PhysicsJS.

As a web developer and a physics geek, I always felt like something was lacking whenever I tried to do 2D physics in JavaScript. I wanted an extensible framework that followed in the footsteps of other modern JavaScript APIs. I didn’t want it to assume that I wanted gravity to point downwards, or that I wanted gravity at all… That’s why I was driven to create PhysicsJS, which I hope will live up to its tagline:

A modular, extendable, and easy-to-use physics engine for JavaScript.

I created a little tribute to autumn using PhysicsJS. Seems like people like it… enjoy :)
