physics simulation of boxes
Author
Hi guys. I have a ton of meshes all o which can have their collision detection described using a hardbox. I'd like to be able to take all these objects and throw them around, pile them up, etc. Now I don't really want to go through the trouble of creating the entire physics simulation, user interaction (throwing). Is there perhaps an API outthere that could do ths for me. Ideally I'd like to use C# (C++ and java would also be ok) and build upon such an API.
Any ideas are greatly apreciated.

'Newton' looks excellent. I hope it integrates nicely with Managed DirectX or XNA. I'll have a look at it. It sounds like its lightweight which is great.
Any more suggestions?

It seems it's C++, which is ok I guess. However, does anyone know what exactly the license implies? Can I use it commercially and am I then independent on whether or not they decide to continue the project or not?

There's also PhysX which is free, even for commercial use.
If you are using an ATI card thought install System Software 8.04.25 and not version 8.09.04 as it has a bug.

Hmm, PhysX is very much to my liking. Ive done quite a bit with CUDA.
Thing is im guessing it is complex and I really want nothing more than boxes flying around, and some nice mouse interaction. Ill look into it.
Thanks guys.

I think I know what is the bug (some nvcuda.dll error) you are talking about and I am confident that it has nothing to do with ATI. Because I have an nvidia graphics card and I get the bug as well. Nvidia admitted at their forum that there is a bug in the installer (of the physx system software).
The system software version doesn't have to be 8.04.25 to get rid of that bug, 8.06.12 works fine as well.
Was it this post raptor? I assumed it was an ATI error as that is the title of the thread and I have encountered this on an ATI card aswell.
Have a look at the sample project SampleBoxes.
