Jolt Physics: A multi core friendly rigid body physics and collision detection library (11k stars) What it does All text below is quoted directly from the project README. >A multi core friendly rigid body physics and collision detection library. Written in C++. Suitable for games and VR applications. Used by Horizon Forbidden West and Death Stranding 2. Features: - Simulation of rigid bodies of various shapes using continuous collision detection - Simulation of constraints between bodies - Motors to drive the constraints. - Sensors (trigger volumes). - Vehicles - Soft body simulation (e.g. a soft ball or piece of cloth). - A strand based hair simulation running on GPU - An optional double precision mode that allows large worlds. >The simulation runs deterministically. You can replicate a simulation to a remote client by merely replicating the inputs to the simulation.
