After a lot of optimization and bugfixing work, I’m releasing

Pocket Physics 0.6!

In this version I focused on speed and stability, and I think it shows. If you compare the speed to the old version, you think up to now everything was in slow motion! There are no more spontaneous explosions and no other randomness. If you restart the simulation, it will behave exactly like it did before. Also, it has become much more stable. In fact I cannot get it to crash any more! If you can, please tell me how!

Check it out! Although I didn’t add any new major features, I think this is a huge improvement!

And if you haven’t already, check out these sites for some great examples of what people are doing with Pocket Physics like the ones above:

I’m happy to announce that fixed point math and the DS target are now officially supported in Box2D! So if you were using the fixed point patches before, you can now just check out the latest SVN version of Box2D. Check this thread for further updates! Huge thanks to Kavaler for his help with the fixed point port!
