### [Rapier: 2D and 3D Physics Engines Focused on Performance][rapier-august]
177+
178+
[![Rapier logo](rapier-logo.svg)][Rapier]
179+
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].
