motor2

Motor2 is an impulse-based rigid-body 2D physics engine based on Box2D (http://www.box2d.org) the AS3 version of motor2 is no longer supported. Instead a HaXe port (AS3 support through SWC file) will be available soon.

box2dflash

The original port of Box2DFlash by skatehead is hosted here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/box2dflash This port of Box2d takes shaktool and skatehead's port and simplifies the syntax for ActionScript developers: Done so far: removed all b2's organized the classes into packages ... [More] changed all "Get" methods to getters changed all "Set" methods to setters clean up To do: remove m_'s and similar naming oddities fix namespacing clean up [Less]

flashx

FlashXCore - 10% Math - 40% Graphics - 15% Network - 0% Input - 5% Content - 5% GUI - 0% FlashX is an advanced API for Adobe Flash written in ActionScript (currently AS3). Unlike other Flash graphics libraries, FlashX is easy to use, and easy to improve. FlashX's structure is well thought out ... [More] to be powerful, scalable, extensible, and compact, while maintaining readability. FlashX provides a lot of shortcuts and shorthand. FlashX tries not to rely on certain parts of the standard Flash API. The standard API vectors, matrices, keys, transformations, colors, etc. are all limited and drawing API rectangles, triangles, circles, lines, curves, etc. are all quite slow. Due to this, FlashX structure and syntax does not conform to the same conventions as most ActionScript code. This has the advantage of easily porting FlashX applications to new versions of ActionScript, as well as being similar to most OpenGL/DirectX graphics libraries. FlashX is grouped according to the Flash Player version, not the ActionScript version. Many features are only available and/or change based on the player version, not the language version. The player version automatically implies the language version since that itself is a feature. FlashX is designed similar to XNA, DirectX, OpenGL, and OGRE. The syntax, concepts, and terminology are minor, making FlashX very easy to learn. Created by Eric Muyser. Changelog08.11.11 - Perspective math accuracy fixed (cube tested). Started adding events. 08.11.10 - Improvements to matrices. Started keyboard input. Fixing drawing perspective. 08.11.09 - Improvements to vectors. Working on drawing. Added custom errors. 08.11.07 - Finished base structure. TodoDrop lost frames to improve input responsiveness. Add to statistics. Fix up quaternions. Add lighting, shading, blending. Add physics, collision detection, particle system, animations. Improve primitive drawing. Add mouse input. Add event callbacks. Add raycasting/hittest, targeting/focus and camera switching functionality. Improve viewport to allow multiple instances. Track polygon mouse is over, and it's belonging model. On right (or left temporarily) mouse down, rotate camera. On left mouse up, select model, activate model (allow specific input - movement - camera switching). BitmapData for each model, render to bitmapdata on change, cache on non change, remove cache on change. Statistics for focused model (such as updates/sec). FeaturesAutomatically adjust optimization based on idle time and focus. Automatically adjust quality based on frames per second. Statistics for frames per second, memory consumed, time to update (ms), time to draw (ms). Events for all major procedures (eg. update and draw). Methods for all major vector (2 and 3), matrix (3x3 and 4x4), and quaternion calculations. Static helper classes MathHelper, VectorHelper, MatrixHelper, and QuaternionHelper. Optimized to use object methods. Heavy use of interfaces for sub-classing (eg. IVector -> Vector2 or Vector3, IMatrix -> Matrix3 or Matrix4).

b2ide

About b2IDE b2IDE is a set of Flash AS3 component classes designed to be used alongside the popular Box2D two-dimensional physics simulation engine. b2IDE allows you to set up simulations visually in the Flash IDE, and automatically builds all the necessary Box2D engine objects based on your ... [More] layout. It is intended to be quick and easy enough for rapid prototyping, but small and robust enough to use in final production content. The philosophy of b2IDE is that it manages the mundane details of initializing your simulation's layout, and then gets out of your way. It does not attempt to add any new features that aren't part of the Box2D engine, and it doesn't attempt to manage your simulation once it's been created. (It will optionally set up minimal handlers to iterate the engine, update your layout, and handle Mouse Joints, but these are easily disabled if you want to do it manually.) b2IDE's goal is to make easy things easy, and otherwise not to interfere. For example, hello world simulation was made without any code (except for the reset button). It uses eight MovieClips attached to b2IDE classes that represent the world, bodies, shapes and joints. Those MovieClips can then be positioned in the IDE, duplicated, resized, and so forth. There is also a more detailed TestBed example file in the distrubution. Please see the Quickstart guide and the API reference for more details. Feature overview Provides a set of base classes corresponding to each Box2D physical element (worlds, bodies, shapes, and joints). As MovieClips extending these classes are constructed, b2IDE automatically generates the relevant Box2D engine elements and sets their position, rotation, and so on. Each class keeps a reference to its Box2D entity, so extending or decorating the b2IDE classes is a convenient way to make "actor" classes that apply custom logic to your physical entities. Provides a container class, which is irrelevant to the physics engine but allows easy re-use of components. For example, in the Theo Jansen walker demo (#7 in the TestBed example), the walker's leg defined only once, in a container, which is added to the stage six times. Uses an anchor class to specify the physical dimensions of entities. For example, a revolute joint can use an anchor to specify where the joint's constraint is located, and a polygon shape is defined by placing three or more anchors to specify its vertices. One caveat: So far, b2IDE has only been tested with the current (2.0.2) release of Box2DFlashAS3. Results with other versions may be unpredictable. That's it! Please grab the current release, try it out, and report any bugs, problems, comments or feature requests in the Issues tab above. Thanks for trying b2IDE! [Less]
