180
+ [ Rapier] is a new set of 2D and 3D physics engines written 100% in Rust.
181
+ It is 5 to 10 times faster than [ nphysics] , close to the performances of the
182
+ CPU version of PhysX, and often slightly faster than Box2D.
183
+
184
+ [ For its first release] [ rapier-august ] Rapier includes:
185
+
186
+ - rigid-body dynamics;
187
+ - colliders and sensors;
188
+ - joint constraints;
189
+ - optional serialization of the physics state;
190
+ - optional cross-platform determinism on IEEE-754 compliant targets;
191
+ - optional explicit SIMD and parallelism.
192
+ - JavaScript bindings with official NPM packages.
193
+
194
+ This new physics engine is developed by the recently created [ Dimforge]
195
+ single-member Open-Source company [ replacing] [ dimforge-replace ] the former
196
+ Rustsim organization created on GitHub by [ @sebcrozet ] .
