Box2D baby!

[xander333]

Yaay I finally got Box2D working! After two failed attempts to wrap my head around it I succeeded :D

I made a little demo:

My goal is to make a physics-based game using this library.
Any suggestions?

EDIT: 555!

That's pretty cool.

Greetings for 555, lol.
Anyways, WHOA, it has a strange effect to see accurate physics on a 2d game. How the hell did you rotate a cube in SDL? Or did you draw line by line? LOL

I used SFML :)

Sour about that music??

And this is why I hate the WMG. I'll happily watch it when it comes back online, though. :)

I used audioswap to change the music, I hope you can watch it now!

I made a quick prototype for a game:

I don't want to make a Angry Birds clone so I still need to put some creative shizzle in there :)

For ease of use/less complicated: Chipmunk > Box2D
For the most/better features/abilities: Chipmunk < Box2D

You made a good choice :)

[xander333]

Haha thank you :)
Btw, Chipmunk is a C library I think. I like to keep it object oriented!

[LB]

Why did you think I said you made a good choice? ;p

[thepedestrian]

This is excellent and pretty cool. How long have you been working on this project?

[xander333]

3 days playing with Box2D, but I whipped both the prototype and the editor up in one day. I surprised myself haha!

I work with very high-level software for which someone has written a Box2D plugin, and I can't even figure it out in that! To figure it out in C++ makes you a god to me.

This is how it looks in the software (with a lot of defaults ofc)

I don't understand Box2D >_< Chipmunk (for which there is also aplugin for in this software) is about my limit for physics in games at the moment.

The C++ interface for Box2D is much less convoluted than that plug-in. o.O

[xander333]

You need to initialize and define a lot more stuff in C++, but that might just make it simpler.
