Re: Java port of Bullet
Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2017 5:49 pm
So, I have some good news guys
after a couple of years of cuddling my dream to port bullet to java, I discovered in the meanwhile Kotlin and useless to say, it was love at first sight..
fast forward to 3 days ago, after over one year experience with it, I decided to put on test my productivity and efficiency with Kotlin... and now I already have the collision tests up and running!
And it's 100% Java compatible!
I'm convinced it'd have taken almost a week using plain Java (and Netbeans, my first ide, Intellij ftw)..
Addressing the last concerns:
- @immortius, I think that if github was famous at jBullet time, things would have gone differently..
I explicitely created an organization to create a suitable environment to gather multiple efforts and where a community may easily grow
- @deepthought, looking again today, it seems bullet3 is still a prototype.. I have nothing against porting it too, but at the moment bullet2 seems the de-facto library, especially given the requirements..
I'd be really glad if someone could get involved to contribute in any way, pulls (also in java), testing, wiki, etc..
I hope you guys will appreciate, enjoy
