+ <h1>Minie Physics Library Version 1.4 Released!</h1>
|
|
|
+ <p>Minie version 1.4 is an exciting new add-on for
|
|
|
+<a href="https://jmonkeyengine.org">the JMonkeyEngine (JME) game engine</a>.</p>
|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Minie provides an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software">open-source</a>
|
|
|
+physics <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_engine">engine</a> for desktop games.
|
|
|
+It gives software developers using JME access to the proven technology of
|
|
|
+<a href="https://github.com/bulletphysics/bullet3/releases/tag/2.89">the Bullet Physics SDK version 2.89</a>,
|
|
|
+including:</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<ul>
|
|
|
+<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics">rigid-body dynamics</a>,</li>
|
|
|
+<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-body_dynamics">soft bodies</a>,</li>
|
|
|
+<li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_detection">collision detection</a>,</li>
|
|
|
+<li>vehicle and character controllers,</li>
|
|
|
+<li>ray and sweep tests, and</li>
|
|
|
+<li>dynamic constraints.</li>
|
|
|
+</ul>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Minie incorporates <a href="https://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/t/introducing-dynamicanimcontrol/41075">DynamicAnimControl</a>
|
|
|
+technology for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragdoll_physics">ragdoll simulation</a>
|
|
|
+and <a href="http://radiomonash.com/inverse-kinematics-video-games-thing-happens-games-never-knew-word/">inverse kinematics</a>.
|
|
|
+It supports the use of
|
|
|
+<a href="https://kmamou.blogspot.com/2011/10/hacd-hierarchical-approximate-convex.html">Khaled Mamou V-HACD algorithm</a>
|
|
|
+to decompose complicated shapes for efficient simulation.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Minie’s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface">API</a>
|
|
|
+closely mimics those of JME’s official physics libraries:
|
|
|
+jme3-bullet and jme3-jbullet, so existing JME applications
|
|
|
+should require little or no modification to work with Minie.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Minie’s documentation starts with a
|
|
|
+<a href="https://github.com/stephengold/Minie/blob/master/README.md">70-KB README file</a>.
|
|
|
+It comes with a dozen demo applications, some tutorials,
|
|
|
+and an extensive test suite, all open-source.
|
|
|
+Its Javadoc describes all public methods and their arguments,
|
|
|
+and the source code includes additional inline documentation.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>The release of Minie 1.4 was first announced
|
|
|
+<a href="https://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/t/the-minie-physics-library/41839/119">on 8 February 2020 at the JME Forum</a>.
|
|
|
+The software can easily be obtained for free.
|
|
|
+Pre-built Maven artifacts are served by
|
|
|
+<a href="https://bintray.com/stephengold/com.github.stephengold/Minie">JCenter</a>.
|
|
|
+Its complete source code and build scripts are in
|
|
|
+<a href="https://github.com/stephengold/Minie/releases/tag/1.4.0for32">a public GitHub repository</a>.
|
|
|
+And of course it has its own
|
|
|
+<a href="https://jmonkeystore.com/38308161-c3cf-4e23-8754-528ca8387c11">page at Jmonkeystore</a>.</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+<p>Whether you’re starting a new game project,
|
|
|
+dissatisfied with the official physics libraries,
|
|
|
+or simply curious about the future of open-source game physics,
|
|
|
+you owe it to yourself to try Minie!</p>
