Edyn v0.1.0

Welcome to the first release of Edyn! The main features in this release include:

• Multi-threaded physics simulation.
• Discrete collision detection using SAT. Collision detection APIs can be used in isolation.
• Shapes:
  • Box.
  • Cylinder.
  • Sphere.
  • Capsule.
  • Convex polyhedron.
  • Compound, which allows any of the above to be combined into a single shape, which can be concave.
  • Concave triangle mesh using Voronoi regions to prevent internal edge collisions. Can only be used for static entities such as terrain.
  • Paged triangle mesh which loads sub meshes on demand. To be used for large terrains.
• Constraints:
  • Contact: the most important constraint which prevents rigid bodies from penetrating. They're created internally in the narrow-phase collision detection.
  • Distance constraint: keeps the distance between two points on the bodies constant.
  • Soft distance constraint: similar to distance constraint but it acts as a spring.
  • Generic constraint: allows individual degrees of freedom to be constrained.
  • Hinge constraint: constrains two bodies around an axis passing through a point.
  • Point constraint: constrains two bodies at a point.
  • Gravity constraint: applies gravitational force between two entities following Newton's law of gravitation.
  • Null constraint: a constraint that does nothing. It can be used to create an edge in the entity graph and ensure that two entities always live in the same island.
• Sequential-Impulses constraint solver.
• Ray-casting.
• Soft contacts.
• Collision filtering.
• Collision events.

Enjoy!
